Bring it

I’m finally ready for winter. Last week I bought a bath robe, so I can wrap myself up in it when I step out of the shower and am hit by the sub-zero temperatures (OK, that’s an exaggeration, but you all know what I mean). I’ve been wearing it around the flat, whether it’s morning, night or in the middle of the day. It’s warm. But what I soon discovered was that a bath robe didn’t help for my feet, which are always cold. I’ve been looking at slippers for some time now, but I thought I’d be alright by just putting some warm socks on. Alas, how wrong I was. So yesterday I wen’t to The Warehouse and bought a pair of slippers. I love them. So, so much. I only take them off when I go outside or get into bed. Oh, and does anyone want to try to guess which colour they are? I spent about 15 minutes thinking about it last night, but I’m still not sure. They seem to be some kind of purple-grey or whatever.

If you know me, you’ve probably seen my incredibly flattering new profile picture on Facebook, in my bath robe. So you’ve seen it on me. But just for the hell of it, here’s another photo of it, in stand-by mode.

I think I might actually survive the winter living in a non-insulated flat now. I’m never cold anymore. I’m almost hoping for some really cold weather to hit us soon (we had 19 degrees yesterday, sigh) just so that I can see how well my slippers and bath robe are working to keep me warm.

 

By the way, yes, this is an attempt to make amends for my bad “attendance”. At least my intentions are good.
