Phew!

I have just traced the awful stink in the kitchen to my son's slippers.

They're shaped like dogs' heads, with the snout forming the toe part. My son loves them, and we call the Gerroff and Down Boy. I bought them when he was wishing for a pet dog, you see.

They look great, but they make his feet sweat, hence the pong.

I opened the windows and washed the slippers of course, and the water turned black. Then they took about fifteen rinses because they're so thick, but they're out on the balcony, dripping.

I wonder how long they'll take to dry?
