Duck Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 As people in UK will probably know, today was a bit stormy with the weather deciding to be mean. On my way to lectures it decided to chuck it down while blowing a gale and the rain stopped the moment I got inside. Anyway I knew that today I would be staying pretty late in the lab so as I have several times this term took some nice boots with me to wear on the way home. Finally after an amazingly sucessful day in which I now know that Rad51 shows very little cooperativity of binding ssDNA compared to recA at about 19:30 i headed out to a quiet place to change shoes and head home. At the time it was only drizzling a little and all seemed like a good fun idea. With boots sucessfully on I headed to Sainsbury's to get some food just before they shut or I would have no dinner and all was fine. The moment I left the wind picked up the rain poured down, my umbrella imploded and I got soaked. In my battle with the elements I forgot I was wearing heels and the concept that men aren't supposed to wear them and charged on back home. Now reaching my computer, I would normally be thoroughly pissed off at the soaking but heels have saved me from despair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh4evr1 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 What type of heels were you wearing and did anyone notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Like these but in black, they're really comfortable and easy to walk around town in. Some people probably noticed, I don't really mind but it was unusually quiet around with such rubbish weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh4evr1 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I have a pair of black ankle boots with a heel like that. I used to worry people would notice when I started wearing heels in public but as so many other people here have said hardly anyone notices. Now I'm not worried.

Thighbootguy Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Duck – Great story and thanks for sharing. I’m not concerned that you got soaked, your fairly waterproof, but it seems like a shame to do that to that great looking pair of boots. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Yes, I hope you didn't catch cold and I hope your boots survived! Thank you for sharing that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
