Thank Yous, and a London Question

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes on the job. I'll respond to everyone soon, I promise, but at the moment I have to make a birthday card for a party Ros is going to this afternoon, complete the assignment for an online course that's due while I'm in England and, ya know, pack.

This time tomorrow, I'll be jetlagged and in London!

And speaking of London, can anyone there tell me what sort of footwear I should be bringing? Would the big, furry, Canadian boots be overkill, or can I get away with a solid pair of walking shoes?
