Watched Kinky Boots tonight, one of my fav comfort films. It reminds me of Dad’s outrage at a local holy roller trying to inveigle a discount, back when they ran a wee shop.

Dad’s ranting about the pastor’s cheek always peaked with “standing there in his handmade shoes that cost more than our car”.
