Yes they are...

...Darth Vader slippers! And yes my daughter is wearing them after I protested her walking around our now cool house in bare feet. So yes now she's wearing slippers and shorts. I'm in jeans and shirt and about to wear a jumper! Oh California - what you have done to me!
Hope that everyone was able to stop for their minutes silence and remember Veterans who have fought and those who have fallen through fighting either in war or its after effects.
Although here in the US, it's a day to celebrate those veterans who served and are still living, in the UK and many other counties, those who fell are also remembered.
