Oh sweet indeterminant deity ...

A lovely thing this afternoon: winstonmom sent me a postcard of cool! Actual cool, snow and all! THANK YOU! It's beautiful. Off tomorrow to what raitala has described as 'monsoons, but very chilly ones'. Sounds lovely.

Right, the list:

Acquire GBP so I do not have to get by with £2.17 in cash. DONE!

Travel Insurance. DONE!

Pay cat sitter the last $8 I owe her from the other week. NOT DONE, SHE'S IN ADELAIDE, BUGGER

Book London hotel for spare evening. EH, SOD IT, CAN DO THAT ON SUNDAY NIGHT, HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO FIND A GOOD ROOM FOR A TUESDAY?

Book Eurostar to Paris, and back to London. DAMN, SHOULD HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS. NEXT.

Buy last things for people who need Aussie things. WHY? WHY DO I FOOLISHLY DO THIS EVERY TIME? STILL, DONE!

Fix top and stitch new row of decorative braid to skirt. WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT BRAID?? ARGH!

Leave house tidy. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! EH, MR BRAMMERS CAN DO IT. (*LAUGHS MORE*)

Pack. BEGUN, AND CLOTHES ARE ALL CLEAN AND CO-ORDINATING, MIRACLE!

Repack when enormous quantity of Violet Crumble and pingrid 's boots means I have to decide between underpants and toiletries. FEARS WILL HAPPEN.

Arrange pick-up at airport. SORTED, BECAUSE MY OXFORD PEEPS ARE LOVELY.

Arrange fun things to do. ALSO SORTED, BECAUSE MY LONDON, COVENTRY, PARIS AND OSLO PEEPS ARE ALSO LOVELY.

Wonder what the fuck this 'peeps' business is. GIVES UP WONDERING, BRAIN HAS CLEARLY RETREATED INTO CORNER RATHER THAN FACE IMMENSE LIST OF JOBS FOR NEXT 24 HOURS.

Sort wallets, paperwork and which books I actually need vs which ones I will just be carting around for effect. HALF DONE.

Wonder whether one pair of shoes is really enough? YES! YES IT IS! CLOSED-IN BIRKENSTOCKS AND ATTITUDE CAN CONQUER ANYTHING. PLUS I WANT TO BUY BOOTS IN LONDON. PERHAPS ALSO GALOSHES, DEPENDING ON MONSOON.

spark_of_chaos , I will either finish beta-ing your fic before I go or on the plane, sorry! Have emailed mods to let them know I am crap, while you are fab. Everyone I owe comments to, yes, I do. Eventually! Nail polishes are packed and will be posted in London. What have I forgotten?

Have a wonderful trip! It's sunny and beautiful in London today, after 40 days and 40 nights (no, I don't know how long it's actually been; what am I, a meteorologist?) of pouring rain.

Never buy boots at Monsoon, they have a terrible selection. Heh.

Send me an LJ message if you need anything while you're in LDN!

AHAHAHAHA! Yes, you're quite right. I am currently inclined a little towards a Kurt Geiger pair, which I never thought I would say ;-)

Are you in town? I will be museum-ing and gallery-ing most days so if you wanted to meet up for a cuppa or lunch, that would be lovely!

Messaged you. :)

I like this pair: http://www.kurtgeiger.com/online-shop/94895-kg-serena

THAT IS THE PAIR I LIKE!

Obviously we now have to meet as we have exquisite taste. (Alas, I also have thick calves after a youth spend dancing and running and a lifetime of riding, so we'll have to see how they fit.)

I have thick calves too, but mainly because I'm kind of a fattie. Heh. But I got some fairly narrow DKNY boots last year and because they have a zip up the back and an adustable tab, I'm able to stuff my sausage calves in there. :) It totes depends on how the boots are constructed, in my experience.

Let's not pretend I'm as thin as I once was ;-) They look as though they'll be good for walking if they fit, though, which is my essential need in a shoe, I love walking.
