#Throwbackthursday

Thailand, 2001. The blue shirt was bought in Bangkok. An absolutely dreadful silk item that was worn a couple of times on that holiday and perhaps twice more in the years that followed.

The plastic sandals were Levis and darned comfortable. I traipsed across Africa, Europe, Asia and North America in them. They’d melted in tropical climates and had formed a perfect fit around my toes and soles.  

They lasted me seven or eight years, eventually meeting their maker in Mexico. They were a bit worn through and Mrs P had had enough of them. I would have kept them a year or two more.
