One of my younger readers has advised me that it is no longer a fashion faux-pas to wear socks with sandals, just like other things that are so popular with the youth nowadays and was totally unacceptable when I was young, like showing off your underwear in public. He suggests I wear socks in my sandlas to aviod my feet being stripy, so I attempted to try it out on the balcony after work. However, it defeats the purpose of sandals. My feet get very hot, and I actually like the stripes.
It is interesting how quickly things change. When I grew up "wicked" meant bad (i. e. evil, like witch or the wicked robot in Transformers), not cool as it is being used today.
Looking forward to Thursday - company beach event. Among the activities are: "Taste that wine", make your own cocktail, SPA treatment, surfing lessons and finishing off with a fancy dress party with a beach theme (not taking part, but will wear my wet-suit jumper in case someone tries to throw me into the sea).
