Happyzine 2015 = exciting times ahead

Well, that’s another Happyzine ezine written for the week.  How many of those weekly updates have I written?  A couple of hundred maybe? Two hundred or so?  So, I’ve just done the quick mind-scan for the fun or chillaxed moment of the day and it was the red gumboots.  Of course it was that moment!

Today my friends, I spent some of my happily earned Positive Writing Course money on buying myself a new pair of red gumboots.  I’m sorry, due to the absence of my camera (it went back to it’s father) I cannot show you the shiny, new, red and cheery boots, but I’ll try to find something nearly as good on flickr.com.  Ahhh!  Here they are, though mine are brighter and more along the lines of the ones children would wear to walk through inviting puddles.

I’m a red gumboot wearer.  Here in Golden Bay gumboots must be worn. For it’s a luscious area (the land I mean).  And over the past few days it has rained with gusto, so that the earth is once again squishy and filled up with liquid.  Around these parts (here I chew on straw and look out at you from beneath my cow boy hat) when people visit people, they walk on actual land.  Aint much concrete round these parts.  Yep.  So, when a girl goes walk’n ‘n she finds herself with one wet foot, she’s gotta git herself down to the shoe shop to make amends.  Ok, I’m going to stop writing in a Colarado accent (did you realise I was?  Or was I too subtle?).

I love the people at the shoe (and other stuff) shop.  They’re this older couple, who have owned that shop for years and appear to be targeting a … conservative, hunting, manly outdoorey sort of market.  I always feel slightly nervous when I walk in, sort of a like I’m half naked, with dreadlocks, smoking a joint.  But then they smile at me and our outer appearances fade away and before I know it I’ve bought a pair of red boots, bonded with the motherly woman about wearing bright colours and parted with twenty five easy earned dollars.  Yep.  Now that’s what I call good community build’n trade.

So my new red boots sit promisingly in my bedroom and now the only decision I’ve got to make now is whether to carry on with my rebellious habit of wearing my trousers tucked into them, or not.  Some say it’s fashion mad-ness.  As for me, I wouldn’t have a clue.
