Aiming High - Practicing in Heels

I've often said the same thing about Hanoi winters. Theoretically, at 10 or 15 degrees, I should certainly be comfortable without a jacket. But Hanoi is so damp, even I am cold at that temperature. I don't blame people for wearing winter coats inside the house. I imagine England is the same. Someday I hope to find out for myself.

I can attest to that. Even the summer can be that way to. I was in Bath in June and it was cold, wet, and windy

And then Scotland ...

I was also at the Edinburgh Castle in the same trip in June and the cold-wet-wind made me think I was at the top of a double black run when its -5F (-20.5C) and howling. I was so glad I took my heavy duty ski jacket for that summer time trip.

I'm surprised how much I like these boots the more I look at them and think about them.

Probably I should just buy them and see how it goes. Maybe sleep over it another night, we'll see.

That would be awesome!

 

 

Can you return them if you don't fit or if you don't like them in reality?  Then it a (as we Yanks like to say) NO Brainer.

Yes, I can return them.

I'm so excited to see if they fit and also about the height.

Our weather here in Britain is fickle to say the least. I went up to Scotland for a couple of weeks this past August and came back with a tan. Sunny every day and temperatures of about 25°C. You just never know. Mind you this past spring and summer was unusually dry and warm.

its definitely not warm now! I’ve obtained some wood for heating - much preferred to coal! - and now that I’m warm again am about to resume my practicing in my 12cm heels. I suspect I’ve lost a bit of whatever skill I picked up …

I am really trying to get up the motivation to go out for my walk. It's the first day that it's been really cold here (below 0). The temperature wouldn't be that bad, but of course it is very windy, and it has just rained yesterday, and whatever is left over is ice, I'm sure. My deck is probably a death trap, especially in heels. I gotta go. Bye for now! Wish me luck!
