Boxing Day

26th Dec, no boxing! it is a Sunday and woke up in the morning, went to church. But before, I had promised to wake up D with flute. She got a march! I walked alone, C was not well enough and D woke up too late to walk.

After church we went to pub with some people and after that to our house, ....

[some people drove but there was not enough space, so I said I will walk and R walked too. Or as others said, I walked, he ran. it was cold!

We had interesting conversation, why do women wear heels. Firstly, I wear heels at uni because it helps with back pain. Or maybe it is lots of (well-selected) exercise, I do not do some of the cruel classes any more). But I never wear heels to be taller. No I do not want to be taller. It is just nice to wear heels sometimes (especially if in this weather, I can only wear walking shoes/hiking boots outside. I went to shop to find boots other day, but they have no grip, this country does not have boots that are nice and have grip and I could wear with a skirt or dress. I actually don't care too much, I have worn a dress and walking boots on the street this month and just changed when entered a building, otherwise I could not have walked where I was going. The choice in shops is either nice boots with no pattern or hiking boots).

I do not want to be taller than anybody else, why would I? Would this mean that if I ever move to a non-Nordic country, I would always need to wear flat shoes because everybody else is shorter? Noooo!! I never have too high heels, just 3-5cm ....in fact I have exactly 10 pairs of shoes in total:
2 pairs of walking boots (one pair has a hole, so not waterproof)
2 pairs of trainers - one for sport, one for street
wellies
ice skates
black "work" shoes
black more formal high heel shoes
dancing shoes
sporty sandals

 ....
played games (jenga, Uno, brain builder), made some puff pastry squares and salad. E had texted me nad C to go to her house in the evening and "bring friends!" So I texted her, asking if is it OK to bring 5 additional people. Yes! At the end it was 3 additional, but still 5 instead of 2. We watched a film and played a word game. I am quite bad at this....name a character in the Bible starting with F.....Pharao....Philemon....no, the are all with P!

So in total I spent 14+ hours with nice people from church, none of which was planned yesterday (except the morning service). Good day.

Neighbours are having a party, I cannot sleep and listening to this:
