So Long,
Farewell,
auf Wiedersehen,
Goodbye.

It seems,
To me,
the time has come that I;

Should say,
Farewell,
au Revoir
& Goodbye....

Well, I have resorted of late to writing little of substance and posting much fluff; perhaps I will return one day when I have something more interesting to contribute.

Until then,
Goodbye :)

Saga of the Shoes: Afterword

Now I know I said the saga of the shoes was over, but then I got this email (which had a lovely company letter head and pretty colours etc, but I have pasted just the text for simplicity's sake)...
This was about the time that VISA sent me a letter saying they were refunding my purchase. I have no words for the ridiculousness of this.

And I don't know why they correspond with me in French; the order page was all in English, though the website shows up half in French for me, but only sometimes. It is odd.

Saga of the Shoes: Closing

It appears that the saga of the shoes has come to an end. I got a letter from VISA today saying that they have been in contact with the merchant's bank and are crediting my account for the price of the shoes.

No new shoes for me.

Not that I need them...

...there is so little dancing in my life now.
