a couple of minutes he proclaimed me to be a size 6, and an EEE fitting, and also to be stupid for having tried to measure my feet by myself 8 years ago, which clearly isn?t a thing you can possibly do accurately without being severely double-jointed.
The result being that I had a decent range of shoes to choose from, unlike last time. All I had to do then was flick through the catalogue, spot the shoes marked as EEE and ignore the nice pointy ones for normal D people (who really have no business with this catalogue at all), and choose something that wasn?t too hideous. If I had been an EEEE I would have found a grand total of four pairs of shoes to choose from in the entire catalogue, all of them very ?scone? and I might have had to find a cave to live in. But as it is, I discover I have lots and lots of shoes I can now order from varying ...

Once Pauline is a bit older, and Great Uncle Matthew (GUM) is away again, another package ...
kind of winch mechanism might be necessary in order to get me off the sofa.
This is where my ginger friend Paula comes in. Now, I have large feet (size 7 ? 8, astonishingly) but they look quite small when not encased in shoes and socks. Paula, entertainingly, is possessed of tiny hands, big feet (which, if anything, look even bigger than they actually are), and a big head. (This isn?t in any way relevant, but it?s a diverting aside. Her father was once driving around the town she lives in, saw her outside a very distant coffee shop and beeped. Later on she asked him how he had managed to spot her from that distance.
