My New Shoes Finally Got Their Sunday Outing

Remember the pair of shoes I mentioned getting recently? Well, today was their first proper outing, and I couldn't have chosen a better day for it.

Sunday started with the usual preparations for church. I woke up, washed and tidied up the house, arranged a few things and attended to some other chores. A carpenter also came around to make some adjustments to my rabbits' cage. I'll save the rabbits and their pictures for another post.

By the time everything was sorted and I had finally taken my bath, it was already around 11:30 a.m. I got dressed, put on my new shoes and headed out.

I must say, they fitted perfectly. Exactly my size! I found myself admiring them more than once. There's something satisfying about getting a pair of shoes and discovering that they fit just as you expected.

Church was great, too. I had actually rushed out of the house and hadn't eaten anything before leaving, so hunger started making its presence felt during the service. Thankfully, my uncle's house was nearby. After the meeting, we headed there, and I helped myself to a meal. I mean, I'm hardly a visitor in that house, so I took the liberty.

Apparently, my cousin has already developed an interest in my new shoes. She has plans to use them for a photoshoot because she thinks they would complement her style of dressing. And honestly, I can see why. The shoes are unisex, so I guess they'll be having more than one owner for pictures.

However, the day had one unpleasant surprise waiting for us.

As evening approached, the weather changed. Rain started falling, accompanied by some pretty strong wind. Neither my brother nor I was home at the time, and the clothes we had spread outside were left at the mercy of the weather.

The rain itself wasn't even the biggest problem. The wind had blown the clothes down!

So, tomorrow's schedule has already been decided for me: I'll be rewashing clothes that had already been washed. Not exactly the kind of chore I was hoping to add to a new week.

Anyway, I eventually got home, had some of the snacks I had around and settled into bed. I had eaten at my uncle's earlier, so there wasn't much need for another proper meal.

At least, the shoes had a good first outing. The clothes, unfortunately, didn't have such a good day.
