this and that

Still cold. Am on my third cup of tea within the last few hours. Contemplating sofa and blanket and kitty and book, but all that takes effort.

Managed to go out to town yesterday towards the evening but wasn't really in the mood for a walk. Dragged the big camera with me and ended up not even taking it out of the bag once. Spent some three hours shopping, instead... didn't find shoes in spite of trying on a few dozen pairs in at least five stores (mum got a pair though) but did get two new jumpers and two pairs of darker/thicker trousers for the autumn/winter. Columbia menswear once again - so they're a bit loose around the middle and loose around the thighs, but when one spends the days sitting at a desk, loose is considerably preferable to too tight.

And I'm more or less done with the exchange stuff. I think. Still need a title, among other things...

wow, almost done with the exchange fic? congrats! :D
so, was it as scary as you had expected it to be? I mean, you didn't seem too stressed out from what I read :)

Thanks. And ... well, could have been worse, but scarier than it's probably seemed. Poor [livejournal.com profile] ayerf has had to bear most of my wibbling in private. ;-)

Sorry you're still cold.

I think I'll be looking at Columbia menswear as well. I've been in it all summer, so why should I change my habits?

It's now steadily under 10°C and no heating. *grumbles*

It definitely seems to be a safe choice for me now. Although I did have to go up a size for one pair, compared to the previous four ... guess that the cut makes a difference there, too.
