What have you bought lately?

I just got the weekly grocery shop yesterday. I am in a quiet, no buying, spell at the moment.

Laces for my new trainers.

Not in Friesland, they are traditional and many manual workers, farmers , gardeners, street pavers ,lorry drivers etc wear klompen and everyone in the hospital wears them . Its part of the culture here.
This is where Ive bought OHs klompen they are good and theyve won several awards.

I decided to get an entire book set today, secondhand but hopefully in great condition. I can't remember how many of the books I've read from my mum or borrowing from the library, but now I can have them all to "binge-read."

I thought smart phones were silly too, but now I have one, they are really useful, and my use of it is minimal compared to the so.

Here they are called palazzo pants, I have a few of them

How do they feel?

Surprisingly comfortable. You do wear thick socks but they dont sweat in summer and they keep your feet nice and warm in winter  they are supportive too and also very easy to clean , just hose them off and leave to dry! 
Also when they are worn out many people use them as bird feeders or nest boxes just hang one in a tree and its done..

I got curious about your clogs, and googled.

I found this 

naturalfootgear.com/blogs/educational-articles/are-clogs-a-foot-healthy-choice#:~:text=Clogs%2C%20like%20other%20conventional%20shoes,%2C%20and%20clawtoes%2C%20among%20others.

My god, what absolute rubbish, being sold as genuine by a picture of a guy in a scrub suit.

Speaking for myself I have only ever worn clogs in surgery. That was for three hour sessions, and I really don't remember what they were like at all. That tends to tell me they were comfy. They were leather tops rather than wood though.

A sales pitch with a disclaimer at the bottom saying its not medical just informational !

Grocery shopping after work today.

That must have been a shock!

I thought so..
