(For the princely sum of £15, no less.)
Boots are polished and out by the window, though, and probably very grateful for it they are too, given how long & how desperately they've needed a clean.
It is an interesting tension, for me, between not-my-religion and definitely-my-cultural-heritage, but observing Heiliger Nikolaus is a link to my grandmother and also an excuse to clean my shoes, so here we are, and in the morning I'll get up early to go to lab & they'll contain treats & I will pocket some of them to take with me.
