I am very small so do wear heels a fair amount. The best thing ever is to get proper orthopaedic style insoles that support the feet well. I can walk a good couple of miles in my 3in heel knee high boots without pain. …

It's amazing what a touch of mascara and eyeliner can do to turn a fairly attractive man into one who is very attractive.

The lady in the Body Shop is absolutely right about not wearing the same colour eyeshadow as your eyes.

I'd also like to say thank you to the organisers - there's a few messages from people over on the UK bookcrossing list, but I guess they are around here more. It was a wonderful day and great fun. Everyone was lovely. …

I've just PMed but in case it doesn't get through.
You can add Hexa and me to the list as we've just made a last minute decision on it.

At Kew Gardens in London they got three to bloom in 2002 after a gap of 6 years - the previous bloom had been about 50 years previous to that. Now it appears they can't stop them flowering as they had another one last y…

Hexa led me here by letting me grab a big pile of books. Now I'm making a nice big pile of my own to register and release.
