A pleasant surprise and a subsequent dilemma

[AJBryant]

Is it wrong of me that my first thought was "there needs to be a comma after 'Jane Owen'"?

I'm sorry, I used to be a newspaper editor...

Congratulations, sir! I'm looking forward to some smashing pictures from the day.

Pictures! Don't forget pictures.

You are quite right, sir, there should indeed be a comma there..

Jumped out at me. Unless this is another example of the U.S./U.K. language divide.

It sounds like a wonderful event to attend, and I'm sure you'll look great!

Hector Russell came through! My new jacket and vest were delivered today and seem to fit very well indeed. I haven't gotten around to trying them with my kilt, but will do so during the weekend. As requested, and promised, pictures will be presented in due time.

I can't thank the kind people at Hector Russell enough and I have made sure to telephone and tell them just that. They even deducted UK VAT from the bill!

OK, so I had to see how it looked with the kilt on.. Not the best picture, but it's the best I could manage using the "teenage approach" (photographing yourself in front of a mirror) :P...

Hope to get some better ones on Monday!

The jacket and waistcoat appear to fit well, and certainly work with your tartan. I think you'll be quite dapper!
