Day 272

I dithered for months about buying these shoes. Ordinarily I'm very practical about shoes. And these were silver, higher heels than I usually wear, and worst of all, decidedly trendy. (Although some of their appeal came from seeing a similar pair in a Jeeves & Wooster episode, set in the Edwardian era, so it could be considered a classic style in some sense...) Finally I succumbed, and now I'm wondering why I didn't buy them sooner. Love, love, love! more...

Day 253

Loud knocking at the door at 7.30 am does not make me happy - except when it signals the return of our passports, complete with shiny new Leave to Remain stickers. Yay!!!
