These Boots Are Made For Walking.....

Hmmm..... I know my Supervisor or my husband will not approve me keying in an entry at this moment. I am due to hand in part of my dissertation. But truth be told, though I still have a quarter more to do, I mean a quarter of 67 pages...! And I need to send it in shortly. I suddenly can't focus anymore! HELPPPP!!!!! At this rate, I am going insane! Not that I procrastinate either. Nope, I have been working on it all these while. But, you see, at this very moment, I realised if I just add something else (and that is not just one thing) my dissertation will be much much better than it is now. Hmmm.... Zura, if you are reading this, you know what I mean exactly don't you?

On top of that, I am feeling very anxious and Allah only knows how I must have felt at this moment, I have been in and out of the VFS website as well, in the hope some decisions have been made on my children's visa application. It is already 5 working days today since the application was submitted and .... well, I know I have to be patient. But realizing that does not help either. Ya Allah, have Mercy upon us... To Thou we seek Forgiveness.... To thou we seek strength.... & to Thou we have Faith.....

Well, let's stop there. I just need a space to release my feelings. And let see. If you don't mind I am going to talk about boots today. Boots?  Why boots? Well, I love boots, so why not? I am not sure how many of you out there like boots. But it doesn't matter. I just love them. My feet just feel more secure in them :-D I know it is summer now. But our summer up here is not as what you might think. There are days when the weather are very very good, but on most days, it is either cloudy, windy or it rains. So, I have yet to wear any sandals.

Anyway, here are my beloved boots :

Well, three of them are bought new through e-bay. The brown, the sage green and the black pairs in the middle. And they are only £0.99 each pair except for the black pair.

This is my first boots here. Found them at the Car boot sale in Errol. Cost me £1. Well, cost my husband, really not me. But I love them so... much. Tough boots they are. I wish I have a horse to match them.

I wear them when it rains (C'mon! It's difficult to find a cheap wellie at the car boot sale. Even if there are, the sizes are always too big for me) or when we are going to the country side. And still they are going strong. Once I took them down the river at Glen Isla too! Silly me!

I wear this pair inter-changeably with the black one. When it is not raining, this faithful companion of mine will get me to school, to lecture theatres, to discussion room, to the library, to the GP, the dentist, the City of Dundee and of course to the Exam Hall. :-D

This is my latest find. I bought the pair two weeks ago at the Errol Car boot sale. Well, the people at the stall were seriously getting rid of everything so, they sell everything for 10p. Yes, you heard right. I bought this pair for 10p.

You see? Still in very good condition. Even the sole still unscathed. Have yet to wear them though.

When I bought this one, I was thinking of sending them to one of my nieces. But after a phone conversation with her, she told me, she's not into boots. Arifah, are you sure you don't want them? What about Afiqah?Well, looks like I have an extra pair of boots. :-D The black boots in the middle? I think they look a bit like LG's boots (of Salam Antara Benua). But that is the most expensive of them all. Hmmm.... but don't tell my husband, yeah? :-D

And while I was taking snaps of my boots, Aqil asked me to take snaps of his wellington boots too. Hmmm... well, in order not to disappoint him, here goes :

He loves his boots as well. Coming to think about it, he will always ask to wear his wellie even though it is not raining. Hmmmph! Like Mother like son.....

Well, while we are still at it, Mia's pair of wellie. If this pair can cry I think they have done so long ago. Actually, they are a few scratches and a hole somewhere on them. Dear Damia - Never Girlish are you? That reminds me - to look for a new pair for her!
