Down t' pub again.

arkady has been using her spare time productively: dolling up (kitty ears and all), going to Camden and sitting around the Dev midweek. I wandered down yesterday evening (having missed doing the same on Tuesday evening - bah!) and got pics of the Nice Boots:

First two with my finger over the flash, in an attempt to moderate its effects - I had to turn the red right down on the resulting images. Third is full flash, and, of course, being next to a wall, Arkady's face is washed out. But the boots come out immaculately!

The boots are nine-buckle pointy boots from Underground Shoes. You can tell they're trad as fuck by the thin soles, the flat heels and that they're held together with real nails. They look ten times better in real life than in the catalogue pic.

Happy birthday to ins0uciance - I can't promise I'll make the Turtle this evening, but I'll give it a damn good go!

Next time, on an All New Episode of Star Trek: The Crouton Generation--

"Croutons From the Sky"

Captain Crouton and Commander Crossfire decide to go on shore leave and go
camping up in the Rocky Mountains. Buuuuut the evil Romulan Traitor Barbara
Davis locates them and uses her Dolman-Saxlil Weather Intensifier Ray to
make it rain...croutons! Will the environment ever recover from this horrible
predicament? Can Crossfire and Crouton find a use for this unexpectedly
crisp bounty? Will Jez the Wonder Kitty save the day? The forecast calls
for scattered crunchiness as Crossfire and Crouton fight to find a salad on
the next exciting episode of Star Trek: The Crouton Generation!

Eh??

I'm amazed that something as obviously important as the Dolman-Saxlil Shoe Corporation can be so sparsely documented. Even H2G2 doesn't have any reference (although clearly it ought).

Unfortunately footwear dynamics, the Shoe Event Horizon and the rôle of the Dolman-Saxlil Shoe Corporation would take too long to explain for me to do it here. Either I'll do it the next time I see you, or someone else will enlighten you first.

Ah, d'oh!

Do you have any of the other Crouton Generation episodes? I was telling my daughter about these today, and now (of course) she wants to read the entire series, at least the part I was involved in.
