New shoes

So the thing that might be rheumatism makes my knuckles swell, and my knees swell, but the expensive thing is that it's making my feet swell. My size six boots are all too small. I've bought a pair of size sevens and I guess I'll have to keep wearing them.

Meanwhile, our building work is going really well - the new roof is on, and it only leaked badly on ONE night while it was tarped, and we love our builder and all his workers quite madly.
