Once again, Teppy is me regarding shoe-expenditure; afaic, £15 is plenty for a pair of shoes. (Unless they're trainers.)
However, there is a company here in Bangkok that custom-makes shoes. And I find that I am monstrously tempted to take them up on this...
Mostly I want them to make me some proper Dorothy slippers. But I'm open to other suggestions?
Oh! And, crumbs, ChiKat - so glad you and the kitty are okay! Bloody hell!
Also, The Angry Flower was the funniest damn thing I've seen in WEEKS. My God. That is one pissed off looking kitty, Kristin!
So yesterday I went to this cocktail party. And initially I was going in this very cleavagey dress, but on the way down in the elevator (which is mirrors all round - I don't have a full length mirror in the house) I concluded that this was NOT the appropriate dress for the occasion. So I went back upstairs and changed. A decision which, as it turned out, was exactly right! I still had a v. nice dress, but rather longer and with cleavage of a slightly less terrifying quantity. More dignified for an early evening event at someone's house, for sure. (And I spent much of the evening talking Buffy and Firefly and suchlike with my hosts' eldest daughter, who is splendid! That was fab!)
Also, I have been offered a position on the committee of the drama group. Which I've tentatively accepted. So that's kind of cool! Really, I feel like I'm getting pretty settled here in Bangkok - and next weekend I'm going to go and watch/play my first ever D&D game, with a view to possibly getting sucked into the dice-rolling side of the force. (World of Darkness - apparently vampire-tastic.)
