Shoes of one sort and another

Ah, the delights of sale shopping! Having liberated about £90 by not buying these very comfortable (but unnecessarily fashionable) shoes (original price £150), I drifted in and out of the charity shops in Muswell Hill and found, for a total of £15, a hooded sweatshirt-type jacket, a partly-wound skein of red wool ("fingering"), Stephen Jay Gould's "Welcoming the Millennium", Richard Sennet's "The Craftsman" - and - tap shoes!

Unfortunately the beginners tap class at City Lit in July is full, so I signed up for one in April next year.
