:-) I have got many holes... And the most comfortabe shoes (oldest ones) are leaking; some days ago it was wet on the streets: throughly wet socks -

But it was a nice walk, anyway.

Warm at home -

Bill, emotionally powerful jux.

Your use of a seasonal reference is thematically and emotionally effective.

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

This made me smile. My life is filled with moments like this. I'm starting to embrace that about myself. ;) I've missed my blog friends these last couple of months. Good to read your latest posts.
Sincerely,
Kristin

thanks, friends.

I'm used to it, frank.

Nice one, tikkis

good question, monika

I know why you smiled, Juliet: annoying is funny when it happens to somebody else; the sock is on the other's foot

thanks for the thought, chen-ou
