Put your best foot forward

 


I had my second ballet class yesterday.

Afterwards i was talking to another Silver Swan and she told me that I could get my ballet shoes in a nearby shoe shop.

So off I headed.

I asked an older shop assistant if she had any ballet pomps in a size 6..

Okay, she was probably younger than I am.

She asked

"A kid's size 6?"

"No. For me."

She looked at me quizzically and wandered off in the direction of the store room. On the way she stopped at another shop assistant and asked her a question. 

All I could hear was

"Blah, blah, blah...over 55s...blah, blah, blah"

She had obviously stopped to ask what on earth that auld one was doing, asking for a pair of ballet shoes FOR HERSELF! Luckily the other lady knew about the classes for "the more mature lady"!

Anyway, I got my new ballet pumps and to quote Freddie Mercury

"DON'T STOP ME NOW!"
