Regrets...

I have a few regrets...one of them is that I wish I had trained as a vet, or had repeated my first year of University and become a Doctor...these regrets annoy me..sometimes I imagine if I won Lotto or couldn't have children that I would go and train to be a Doctor...this is one regret...

Another more gut wrenching regret is that I didn't buy myself a pair of Cat Camper boots. I am in love with Camper shoes and boots...I own one pair(with a donkey and sheep on them) and a pair of fakes (purchased in Athens, Greece)...if I could turn back the clock I would have parted with the ridiculous sum of money needed to own these beauties...

This is the best photo I could find on my Google search...one boot has the cats face, the other it's tail. Those of you who know Camper Twins will be familiar with the different but matching shoes/boots. These beauties came in grey as well...I want them...my heart aches for them...they don't make them anymore. One of the Drs at work owns a pair...she has so many boots and shoes I have never seen her wear her cat boots, I was talking to her one day about my yearning for a pair and she announced she had some...they must be in her magical Aladdins Cave shoe closet...

No other regrets to mention right now..oh, there was the otter in a bargain bin just outside Loch Ness in Scotland...it cried for me to buy him...he looked like a real otter, he was soft, silky and fury (realistic soft toy about a f00t and a half high)...I walked away. He was probably purchased by a revolting ginger mullet scouser whinging English tourist 7 year old who treated him like a circus otter...oh the sadness.

Well I am gutted that those whingers didn't get eliminated. Very annoying!!!

I would have loved to have got to vet school as well - if only I'd thought about it more before going to Uni. I never really knew what I wanted to do before I went, so it all ended up being a bit aimless. A waste of money really. If money wasn't an issue, then I reckon I'd move to Palmy and study there. Or just buy a farm and do farm animal things. Sigh.

I have never seen boots like that - I can understand the regret at not buying them - maybe obsessive searching on the UK ebay will unearth a pair one day. Does the Dr at work have the same size feet and you can offer to buy them from her?

Wednesday tomorrow already. Yay!

Oh, regrets are awful. I hate maths, so I'd never have made a good doctor or vet. Plus I wouldn't like to be peering into places doctors have to look. Or worse, touch. I'd like to be an artist or full time crafter. Very cool cat boots, but not sure about the earrings in the background. XXX
