The snow is thick outside ... my car hasn't moved for 8 days, perhaps a folly, living at the bottom of a fairly steep hill. All the lanes are blocked so ... log fire blazing merrily, I'm sat here, not quite contemplating my navel, but my socks !!. Something quite mysterious is afoot, if you'll pardon the expression. So, in the words of The Man In Black, Mr Valentine Dyall, pull your chair up closer to the fire and turn the lights .. down .. low ...
I have noticed that when I put on a pair of socks, even new from the packet socks .. within a few minutes I find that the heel is now atop my instep !!.
Now.. does that mean cosmic forces are at work ... perhaps telling me to re-trace my footsteps, or am I walking back to Christmas unintentionally ??.
Is it possible that the next Christmas I see, will be a re-run of this God-awful Christmas ??.
Now I am a great believer in Newton's third law of motion ... For ever action, there's an equal and opposite re-action. As an Actor it is the foundation stone of all acting ... so it comes naturally to me to think that the action of my socks is due to a re-action elsewhere ... or vice versa. But what that action was, or is, is beyond me. Mysterious ? quite !!!!.
Forgot to add ... my Mum always said that I stuck my foot in my mouth as a baby ... no change there then !!!, but Annie, you have just put, possibly, the reason why !!!!.
Funny - I don't seem to have got out of that habit (which is awkward on a packed Tube) and it might also explain my problem, because of course, there are no such things as aliens are there, and if there were, they would pick a better disguise than shoes......surely................
Have you got your eye on your wife's shoes, Steve ?? the mind boggles. Now if you wore a pair of my socks, along with your wife's new shoes, you might well take off into orbit and become a new Star !!!!
