    What more could a kilt wearer wish?

    A lady in her late 50th, I suppose, talking suddenly very loud in a mobile phone outside a Copenhagen railway station around noon today:

    “O dear, a man in kilt is passing by right now. How exiting!”
    “Yes, a kilt. A kilt! He is wearing a kilt, a Scottish kilt.”
    “Yes, and a very good looking man, he is too.”

    I couldn’t hear what followed. But what more could I wish? Certainly another good day.

    Splendid. Wouldn't it be nice if we could bottle up a moment like that so we could pour ourselves a drop when needed!

    The kilt certainly get's one noticed - no blending into the background except at a Highland Games.

    Congratulations. It's always nice to hear the approval of the ladies. As the Wizard would say,...Swagger plus swish equals swoon.

    Lol! Similar thing happened to me this summer. I was walking through the airport when a women talking on a payphone called out to me.

    "Excuse me! Sir. Yes. Excuse me."

    "Yes?"

    "Could you tell me what tartan that is?"

    "This? Isle of Skye."

    "Isle of Skye," she repeated into the telephone.

    I would've stuck around to find out what that was all about, but it was final board call for my flight so I was in a bit of a hurry. :-)
