came across my sandals yesterday- I'd gotten them cleaned up and ready to pack away till next year but one shoe needed some repairing. I'd noticed a little shoe repair stand about 5 min from the apartment. Away we go, my shoe and I. This is the man who did the work...while I waited... and he was so unique, I couldn't help myself...I just couldn't. So, while he was hand-sewing my sandal, I casually played with my deadly cell phone... teehee...
Here's the thing- he's not young, as you can clearly see. But the music blaring from his stand was Russian pop and he was nodding his head, rocking on his chair and singing along... Whenever he said something, I had to ask him to repeat it, so then he'd mumble and turn the radio way down, say what he had to say, turn the music back up and carry on... really, I hope more of my shoes bust this year. It's well worth the trip to his little stand.
The boot in the foreground? I watched him glue and then nail on that spike heel. And he was singing to the boot the whole time... lovely...
Maybe you need a phone with a video option so we could get the full effect?? :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so sneaky, you. We have one of these in our town, as well, and while he is interesting, he doesn't sound near as interesting as yours.
ReplyDeleteteehee- I like the phone with a video option. Would have been good in this instance!
