Step 1: Find oneself on the sofa 9ideally not your own, preferably your partner's far superior an much more comfortable sofa), unwilling to move due to leg-dead-ness from previous day's 82 mile cycle.
Step 2: Browse internet for new shoes while there are breaks in the men's Wimbledon final.
Step 3: Come across AMAZINGLY AWESOME pair of creepers.
Step 4: find out that they are ON SALE
Step 5: find out that they are sold out of size 9s
Step 6: respond to Lucy's question "what are you looking at" by showing her a picture of the shoes, taking no supprise in the discovery that are judged "lovely"
Step 7: find out that, not only are they in stock in her size, but they're only £30 (underground brand, none of the cheap knock-offs).
Step 8: Weep internally at the unfairness of life and secretly wish you had women's feet
Step 9: Decide that you will not be defeated and that you will find an ever more awesome pair of creepers, repeat steps 3-8.
