I Think I'll Go Back To Scotland

I've been thinking about this blog for a while and finally return to it.

I knew it would take a mishap of a day to get me back to this and today proved to be just the day.

As a quick catch-up, in June, I decided to forego a year of sitting at a desk marking out commas (an editing internship) and instead move back to Scotland and write a few more papers before entering the grown-up land of cubicles. So, here I am.

Up until this point it hasn't rained here! (Miracle of miracles, I know.) But today, the threatening clouds finally proved themselves. I was out at a welcome ceremony and then walked out the doors to see the umbreallas being popped up all around me. I had no umbrella, but that was the least of my concerns. The more pressing problem was my feet, on which I was wearing these

Now, If you're thinking, "My gosh, those look like house slippers." Well, you're quite right. And, most unfortunately, they feel like them too.

About 20 minutes into walking in the rain in these, I realized they had developed a hole. Very soon, my house slippers had turned into small feet canoes. And a nice bath of edinburgh street water continued to wash over my feet.

It was all a very enjoyable experience.


I finally couldn't stand it any longer and popped in a store and just bought some shoes. Perhaps needless to say, I don't think I'll be wearing the slippers much more.

Sending all my love and a little rain!
