rectify that um bought some new shoes yeah we used to hire a oh sorry I was going to say we used to hire a cleaner as well and then the new Mac came out and my wife wanted it so she fired the cleaner and bought the mac and now the house is dirty but she's got a shiny Mac nice it's just like upsetting the equilibrium it really does all right so uh I guess that's exciting so uh wait I want to hear about the shoes there was some shoes mentioned quickly right oh yeah it's just another one of these things that I haden't got around to doing because I've I've been
