Winter in Sydney

Have you ever noticed how quickly the puddles form and the rivers in the gutter flow when it rains in Sydney even for a short time?  It is truly amazing.

Today I honestly could not work out what to do about the shoe situation.  I like shoes - to look at... but not to wear.  Me and shoes have a history.

As a child I would run around barefoot the entire winter with my mother yelling at me to put some socks on.  Years later she would tell me not to go outside in my socks and to put some shoes on.  But now I've got plenty of shoes and socks and I'm happy to wear them but none of them are truly suitable for a Sydney winter.

You know the kind of winter I'm talking about - it rains... non-stop for days at a time.  It's not cold but it's wet. 

Today I procrastinated even turning up to uni because I couldn't work out what shoes I could wear which would prevent my feet from getting wet!! Pathetic I know - but this is a serious problem!!

Despite how truly unfashionable gumboots are, I think it is time that I got some.  I jumped online (in class of course) and browsed the web for some slightly decent looking gumboots.  I'm thinking about getting these - they're kind of funky and I could wear my skinny jeans with them.  What do you think?
