Foot Jr.

Foot Jr. came into this world at 7:10 am on Saturday, Feb. 16. Leo's feet have an heir. The perfect feet genes have been passed in their entirety to Foot Jr. The perfection that is Leo's foot shall live on in another generation of humanity.








The footwear below was supposed to be used to transport the perfect feet home from the hospital. But the feet could not be confined by such manmade trinkets. When Sandra and Leo's feet attempted to place the baby shoes on Foot Jr, we realized that Foot Jr's feet were far too big. The perfect feet could not be confined to the smallness of normal baby shoes. Perfection must be accompanied by grandeur.

Foot Jr came home without any shoes. Perfection needs no adornment.

A hundred thousand foot welcomes



Sandra's feet have been busy cross-stitching for the past few weeks as she waits for Foot Jr. You wouldn't know by looking at her feet that they possessed the dexterity necessary to cross-stitch. Her feet are full of surprises.

Waiting for Foot Jr.

Sandra is now a week overdue. Last week the feet got tired of waiting so they took a drive to Sugar Moon Farms for pancakes and sausages. Mmmmm.... pancakes and sauasages. Here is the foot wandering the grounds.



Look at all those imperfect footprints made by imperfect feet. The foot felt unclean by being so near to so many imperfect impressions. The foot had to go home and bathe.



The feet cooked up some cornish game hens last Sunday. Surprisingly (or maybe not) they tasted a lot like chicken. The feet made stock from the carcasses. Celery, onions, carrots, garlic cloves, 2 bay leaves, and thyme. Boil and then simmer for 3 hours. It makes about 4 litres of stock.

Here is the foot with its perfect creation.





Made some tea biscuits today. Cheesy tea biscuits. The tea biscuits look almost as perfect as the foot.

New wine rack

The feet recently spent a considerable amount of time putting together a new wine rack. The box said "Easy Assembly". The box lied. It took almost 8 hours for the feet to assemble this thing. The feet store the red wine in this wine rack - there are a few bottles of white, but most of the white are stored in the wine fridge that the feet bought for Sandra last Christmas.

There are some very nice bottles of wine in this rack. Only the best for the feet.

The foot with a newly hung picture



It took a while to hang this picture. The foot had to get the ladder from the garage, set it up on the stairs, measure the walls and drill holes. And then the foot had to hang the picture. This was not as easy as the foot expected. The foot's ladder is an outdoor ladder which is too big, so it made hanging the picture extremely difficult. It would have taken a massive feat of dexterity and strength for the foot to angle the picture onto the screws without falling off the ladder.

So Claudius came over with a shorter ladder and with the help of his grotesque feet we hung the picture. Notice how perfectly centered the picture is.

The foot waits anxiously for Foot Jr's arrival

Any day now and another perfect foot will join the world. The foot assumes that the foot's perfect genes will overcome Sandra's less than perfect foot genes. Would the foot be perfect if it did any less?



Here the foot poses with the newly assembled playpen/bassinet.

Croissants



The foot made some croissants recently. Naturally one would think that the croissants would turn out perfectly. After all the foot is not used to doing anything imperfectly. They were ok but they need work. The foot blames the recipe for the substandard outcome.
