Yay I have new boots! Very STOMPY new boots at that. With FUR
http://www.jamesandjames.com/htmlfiles/shoefiles/caterpillar/catmardybn.htm

Well, it snows in Canada, I shall need them ([livejournal.com profile] kearsley i do not wish to hear that it is currently unseasonably warm and the big snows don't come til after xmas anyway. NEW BOOTS!).

Also, I bought a furry hat, with earflaps. Not a Jayne hat alas, but it *does* make me look like a idiot, so it's still a win ;)

Managed, after a bit of faffing with online booking, phone calls and email, to book hotel just round the corner from Paddington station.
Many thanks for the offers of a bed, but this is so handy for the Heathrow express. And the pub ;) I shall come visiting properly another time!

So, is the Paddington station pub ok for everyone? If so meet up there from say 6 onwards? If it's not ok, we can look elsewhere.

I'll actually be there from about 3/3.30 so if anyone is free to come along earlier, or wants to sneak out of work (HI [livejournal.com profile] leeda!) earlier, let me know ;)

Stompy boots!

I should be there earlier hopefully (possibly early enough to scope a pub or two, from 3ish onwards) will probably have to leave a bit earlier than everyone else too though, so it all evens out :)

I can be at the pub at 6, no problem. Looking forward to it!

You're from Ireland - NI, no less - and you're buying warmer clothes to go overseas with?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2005-11-30 03:16 am (UTC)(link)

I think I would use the boots for leaf kicking - the water would kill the fur!
