Right shoe. Black. Verge on Leeds Road. Photograph didn't come out. That's the entry in full. Leeds Road is not a spot you'd choose to stand about on, and I remember the traffic more than I remember the shoe, though I'd not swear to either after seventeen years. This is the first "photograph didn't come out" in the register, and there'd be plenty more of them over the years. I never did get to the bottom of what caused it. Third shoe in six weeks, and I still didn't think I were doing owt.
