What footwear do you have on indoors?
Or do you prefer to be barefooted?
For me, the instant I come through my front door, outdoor shoes are off. Sometimes slippers go on, or I pad about in socks or nothing. But I can’t bear the thought of traipsing about the house with shoes on. Sister has a pair of slippers to put on when she visits, and I ask anyone coming into the house, yes indeed tradespeople, if they wouldn’t mind taking shoes off in the porch. Or I ask if they want overshoe protectors on.
Am I being over fussy? I have new stair carpet, and new rugs dotted about, and vow to keep them clean. But I was always like this in the London flat, and yes, I do wipe Holly’s paws most days.
