Well well well, My Pikey boots had a falling out with my feet today, so much so my boots decided to fall apart during this long tab. To be honest i had put out an advert the other day it read as follows:

Walking Boots required please apply via whats app: Boots must ensure that they meet the following criteria.

 

Boots that want to be boots and not carrying personal issues.

No Transgender Boots need apply.

Boots that like carrying the human body and cushioning the feet.

Boots that will mould themselves to the feet.

Boots must have experience of preventing Blister's.

Pikey Boots need not apply.

Boots must not wear earings or have any tattoo's

 

Wow what a response I have had to my advert, I know many of the boots that have applied I know will have been told too by the boot agency, or they will lose there benifits, but I will sift through them and choose accordingly. It's a bit like choosing a caddie for golf, you just have to pick the right one, isnt that right geordie ( JP need not apply ha ha )

 

oop's I suppose I should mention something about today's tab. It was long, longer still and, even longer than that. Road walking with very few chances to get off them. The boots had there revenge on me for the advert, ( another pair of pikey boots who applied told my pikey boots ) so I have the start of blisters on the heels, well it was bound to happen soon. I have a minimum of 28 miles tomorrow so the blisters will definately appear tomorrow. Today was another milestone on this epic trek, in the words of the proclaimers,

 

"I have walked five hundred miles, and I've not quite got 500 more , just to see the journey to fruition, and to raise MS awareness that much more. Dalalala Dalalala"

 

Geordie is keeping my moral up with his presence on my tab, so whilst the body is weary moral is sky high, especially after yesterday's tab, by far the best ever. Yea ha are we there yet.
