Summer shower shoes

What shoes are you supposed to wear in the summer when it rains?

I discovered this morning that I have no suitable shoes to wear when summer showers hit. I felt a little lost when I realised that I couldnt wear my flip flops unless I wanted sodden feet and jeans by the time I got the the office. Next in line was my platform sandals - still keeping the summer vibe, but high enough to keep my tootsies dry and off the wet ground. Not exactly the most practical in the rain though, so I cast them by the wayside. These thoughts also trnafered to a selection of strappy heels, also not appropriate for the downpour.

So instead I thought perhaps I could wear some kind of trainer - I couldnt bare the thought of going to work in my scruffy pink pumas, so I contemplated putting on my crisp white pumps, but dirty London pavements and torrential rain would be sure to turn them to grey in no time at all.

So somewhat ridiculously in the middle of August I have opted for my trusty old winter boots with my skinny jeans tucked inside. They worked splendidly this morning keeping my feet bone dry, however now sat at my desk they are getting a little hot and am now getting a little concerned that if this rain persists I have no idea what to wear tomorrow. I'm thinking wellies.

D'ya know what I mean.... innit?

I am not particularly "street" with my language. I am not one of those people who feels it necessary to finish every sentence with 'innit, or d'ya know what I mean. Whilst getting my nails done at the weekend I discovered a new phrase, which is simply... "do you know".

At the weekend whilst getting my nails done I was making polite conversation with the nail lady asking her the usual questions, where does she live, how long has she been in the job, etc, etc, when I noticed her strange tendency to use the term. The conversations went something like this:

Nail lady: I was off ill last week.

Me: Oh no, poor you. What was wrong?

Nail lady: Well, you know antibiotics....

Me: Yeah

Nail lady: Well I had to take antibiotics because I had an ear infection.

Right
....


Me: So what does your boyfriend do then?

Nail lady: Umm, do you know management?

ME: Er, yes (I am familar with this term).

Nail lady: Well he works in business management.



I am seriously hoping this doesnt catch on.
