I had a work trip to Montreal this week, and I stupidly packed a cup noodle snack thing without wrapping it up, so of course it burst and got flavour powder all over everything. Thankfully I overpacked, and had enough clean things to cobble together a couple of outfits. This is one of them, and I kinda love how it turned out.

@Impossible_PhD I just finished Nameless, and I absolutely loved it. It's hard to find the words and I'm still processing it. I read a fair amount of science fiction, but I never managed to get along with cyberpunk before now. I think, with body modification being common in the genre, most handling of it felt clumsy. You addressed that head on and made me realise that my physical dysphoria was probably what was speaking to me as I read those books.

A coincidence caught me off guard. I just got back to the UK from a work trip to Montreal, and it was pretty cold and snowy. I was glad to have bought a pair of good boots with me. I found myself thinking a lot about Vimes’ boots theory. I did *not* expect to see Vimes get a shout out in the book!

Do I know at least one other Aura on here? I need to stand next to you one time so I can be part of an aurae.
By the way, I was a good girl and waited until 3:45am on Nov 1st before having a mince pie.
