Well excuse the craniotomy ……it was the best pic of the kit. For today’s adventure I donned my USAK semi in Stewart, black, Artificer sporran and kilt belt, and recently acquired pair of Matt’s discontinued Tain HOC hose.

I had a couple of meetings with contractors to review their proposals on re-plastering our pool and spa. One the contractors was a Campbell. This fellow has done work with me in the past so is ‘comfortable' with me. I listened as he told me about kilts, tartans and the Campbells. Most of it was inaccurate, but sometimes you realize your job is just to listen and not correct.

Later in the morning, a hearing specialist who was conducting a hearing clinic came to the office to photocopy forms. She was wowed with the kilt. Leaving the office, she said, “I love kilts…. thanks for the copies, sweetie” (an endearment for an old guy). So much for that first blush of excitement.

Anyway, the Fred Red Ale at Park Lane tasted good after a busy day.

Casual again in the Freedom PV. There's a festival nearby and on my noon walkabout I came across a large table of "Men in Kilts" enjoying the fare. We had a great chat. For a work uniform especially, the kilt they wear looks very good. One passing compliment by a fellow and his lady friend.

Happy Friday, all

Stopped into USA kilts earlier today with the wife and kids. Got the middle child fitted for a kids kilt in USAF; he really loved the colors. His grandfather and I have a good nature tussle over both kilts and the airforce, he was an airborne ranger and wants his grandsons to follow suit. I'd prefer they stay out of the military but if either join I'd prefer they choose to not go jumping out of perfectly good airplanes.
We'd just come back from a 22 mile bike ride on the Lebanon Valley trail so I was just wearing my Muir box pleat with a black button up jersey and sneakers.

(Syd, Australia) I was at a friend's birthday karaoke shindig, and afterwards, some of us went to find a bar, but one of the guys didn't get let in, so we went elsewhere to a bar/club next to a backpacker's place - so it was a bit wild

A Scottish lady was admiring the kilt and asking questions about where I was from (I was saying - the Czech Republic, but born in Australia) - and then a Scottish guy joins the conversation and freaks out - he's like "are you William Wallice?" - and I'm like - ...yes~

Then he started dragging me around the club tapping random people on the shoulder introducing me to everyone - "it's William Wallice!!" - he was so excited, it was hillarious

my friends were leaving at that time, so I started shuffling to the door (they were just sitting near-by getting air) - and he says "lets go have a fag" - he introduced me to his friends - and then I was giving him piggy-back rides up and down the street while he screamed "freedom~!!"
then his friends were saying - security won't let you back in - and he replied that it just made his night, and he was ok to just go home and sleep, hahahaha,,

Definitely the best kilted adventure yet~
(there were photo/video but didn't get to me)
ah also they were getting me to say some stuff, so I practiced my scottish accent, I think it was a respectable effort ~ (I mean.. I can roll Rs from speaking Czech,,)
