New things, new things. I am giving away my grey and brown and black socks, my feet have come alive in new socks from Over The Moon, Heather Mitchell’s shop on Main Street in Cambridge. Maria got me a pair of pink socks today, and I will be wearing them at the Open House on Saturday. I love these new socks – I have never worn pink socks in my life, and why not? – they have brightened my outlook on the world, feet can make you smile, just looking at them brightens my day.

It is strange it took me this long to discover colored socks. I haven’t given up yet on my blue shirts, chinos and jeans, I think I’ll hang on to them, they suit me. But I will never say never anymore.
