However, I'm really bad at buying sensible shoes. It doesn't take long for me to find ones that I like the look of, but the lining is never right or then they feel uncomfortable on. And then there's the price to consider, too. But it's gradually getting colder, so it's really about time I found some winter boots!
These are so warm and comfortable to wear that I liked them instantly. At first I was going to stay away from anything too suede-y, but these felt quite sturdy (and the tag also said 'water-proof'). I had a certain price limit I didn't want to go over, so I was really happy when I found these at TK Maxx for £20 cheaper than I was prepared to pay!
I also got cheap autumn-y ones at Shoe Zone that I can wear in the autumn before it gets too cold. For some reason I always get black boots.
I was so glad that I got both of them on the same day, because it's surprisingly annoying to buy shoes that have to last.
Then I found some books at a charity shop, which was good because I don't have anything to read here! I left all my books in Finland, which may have been a mistake!
I'm not sure if I've read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in English before, but I've read it at least twice in Finnish. The Mill on the Floss I don't know anything about. This morning I was reading a poem by this girl who's in my poetry class, and the poem referenced this book, and I really liked the poem. It was quite cool that I had never heard of the book before and then I saw it in the charity shop! It was only £1, so I decided to get it.
I have to show you what I got from the bank I have my English account in. You put your card in when you want to make a payment online, and then the reader gives you a code that you have to type on the website to identify your card. It's so cute! I have never used anything like it before. It reminds me of a calculator.
It's been such a nice and relaxing weekend. Next week there'll be more test runs of places to eat, and I'm going to see a play!
