Well why would it work? And some birds.
Sod's law: having decided to make the effort to post here more, I discovered that I -- and at least some of my f-list -- couldn't see the pictures I was posting, or only see them intermittently. In recent posts, I solved the problem by using LJ Scrapbook to host the pictures, but that didn't fix my earlier posts

I love the slippers - mine are felt, too, but by M&S and so much less interesting.
I do have a Facebook account - I gave in and joined when my niece got married four years ago. My FB has lasted longer than the marriage... But I rarely put anything of interest there, to be honest.
My grandfather used to treat me the way your dad did you - I was regarded as assistant in chief from the age of about six :)

It was a different world, wasn't it -- kids were free labour! And, apparently, when my grandad was a boy, his dad had him cleaning out the drains, and let him smoke a cigar to counteract the smell!
It's very sad to think that something like a FB account can last longer than a marriage.

I love your shoes.
I’ve been out this morning learning about birds of prey and getting up close and personal with them.

Like you, I'm quite happy to let them have the garden!

People say that, but I have no evidence for it, LOL.
I noticed that you'd posted about it. My brother bought my sister-in-law a bird of prey experience for her birthday and I know they had a great time.

And those are gorgeous slippers, too.
I just bookmarked Futurelearn. I do have facebook & twitter, but this looks a lot more constructive.

So yes, I can now see your photos, which is wonderful. I love the icons you made (and I love that there is a community for food icons!).
Also, I am going to Krakow next week! Anything I absolutely have to do/should miss out on?? I am only going to have two full days, but will arrive fairly early on Tuesday so I count it as three days (leave early on Friday).

At the centre of Krakow there's the big Main Square, the Rynek Glowny, with lots of shops and cafes, and the Cloth Hall in the centre, which has tourist shops and stalls on the ground floor (where I get my slippers ;-) and a museum of Mediaeval Krakow underneath, and an art gallery on the upper floors. There are also horse drawn carriages for hire, but they're very expensive. The main thing is that every hour, on the hour, a trumpeter plays the hejnal from one of the towers of the Mariacki -- so you must hear that!
Then there's the Wawel, which is a fortified complex with a castle and a cathedral. I'm not sure how much you can see without paying, but you can walk around the outside of the walls and along the river bank, where there's a big bronze sculpture of a dragon that breathes fire the moment you've given up waiting! (Mediaeval Krakow had its own dragon, apparently).
I would go to the Bunkier café, which is a good place to get a light meal and a drink and use the free WiFi; it's usually full of students and ( ... )

I also wanted to ask about cash vs. card. I have read some conflicting advice on this, but maybe that is because it was geared more towards Americans who might not necessarily have the chip European cards usually have, and that might cause issues when trying to use a card? But what is your advice; I am going to bring some cash regardless, because I like to use cash when I am an travelling, but should I get pretty much all of it in cash (except for my larger purchases) or should I do a mix?
I am getting really excited about the trip now! I haven't had too much time to do research about what I want to do, beyond a quick look-through to see what things might cost to help me determine a budget, so this helps a lot! <3
