I'm sure you love them though, and that is what is important. Oh, just looking at those shoes makes my feet hurt. I’m sure you love them though, and that is what is important.

Not sure why. But I just want to add Charlotte, that I feel your conundrum. I want to freelance again, but when would I do it? And can I add another obligation to the ones I have? If I did have childcare, when would it come -- with 3 schools, my schedule is jammed. And, I'm selfish. What would the childcare provider see that I would miss? I had a client like yours once -- I couldn't go there without feeling their anxiety. I sent a wonderful resignation letter -- I still have it. It never stuck. They kept calling, I kept devouring projects, until finally... they all moved somewhere else. I posted a comment yesterday — not here? Not sure why.

Your post is full of energy and courage, thank you! Those are great power shoes (I hope your toes can say as much…), but even without wearing them you’re powerful too!

I don't choose shoes though -- too wary of those unseen blisters -- but underwear. Everyone needs at least one item of clothing that puts a smile on their face and an attitude in their heart. Go the red shoes! I love a dash of red somewhere about me when I need a boost. I don’t choose shoes though — too wary of those unseen blisters — but underwear.

Every girl needs her red shoes! Thanks for the post, I needed it!

Kind of odd, using a pointy shoe to winkle periwinkles out their shells, but it's a good image. Lizzy, I don't wear red often, but it worked today. You're right, it's a good confidence colour. David, watch this space. Let's hope they help me get through all this work. Thanks, Kit. I wish you some virtual red shoes for online pacing. Good luck to you too. Elaine, well, you're right. That's why I only wear them about once a year. What I did not photograph are the two blisters I acquired wearing them. Yes, Lia, I am happy to say I remained - outwardly at least - unruffled. Go Henitserk! Good luck with all your late nights. And you know what, Thordora? My cute but painful heels were greatly admired by my five-year-old princess. I think she aspires to power heels herself. That's quite a concept, Letters, those touch-typing toes. And you're right; it's all about the efficiency now. Hi Ms Marmite.
