Slippers

A few weeks ago, Karl the Bee-Man went into Wool and Willow to buy a pair of slippers for his wife's birthday. Betty isn't so well these days, so he'd brought along one of her old slippers to compare.
The following day, he was back - the new slippers were too tight.
Wool and Willow didn't have any others in stock, so they got in touch with the lady who makes the slippers, and she has made two new pairs for Betty to try.
Karl took them home a couple of days ago; Betty chose the pair she wanted, and Karl brought the others back to the shop.
You wouldn't get that sort of service from a chain store!

Meanwhile, Richard Booth is out of hospital after his stroke. He's supposed to be taking things easy.....
