My new boots arrived in the post yesterday which was perfect timing because it has been snowing here all morning and despite the fact that the temperature is a little above freezing, the snow has settled and we have an inch or so covering the garden. The kids are very excited about it, but I can just see that I am going to have the usual fun of putting the winter tyres on the car after it has started snowing for the second year running. Will I ever learn?
The Timberland Earthkeeper boots are apparently environmentally friendly and contain 1½ plastic bottles in the soles. Not being able to get my size in any of the shops in the UK meant that I had to buy them on eBay. Despite the shipping costs from the UK, they were £30 cheaper than in the shops in the UK.
Now that K&L have told me that there is an unused guitar in their basement, I can have a go at trying to play without shelling out for an instument. I guess that will avoid me finding myself in the same situation as the guy I was trying to buy a sused one from. He claims to have owned it for 1 week and played it for only 2 hours.
Are you becoming a shoe/boot fetishist?
ReplyDeleteYou had a guitar when you ere a teenager, B has it now.
That had a similar history - given board & lodging but little used.

I'm not becoming one, I've always been one. However, I haven't bought a pair of boots for at least 4 years and these are to replace a pair that I had to throw away this year which had fallen apart. Yo bought methods when I was a student so they were probably around 15 years old!
ReplyDeleteThe guitar B has is a classical guitar and I want a rhythm guitar - they're not the same, that is why Ben got a new one too. Lars is lending me his old one to try out.
