Kilted Fridays Adventures

I Finally after acquiring some non-white hose (don't blame me - the white hose came with the kilt)

Don't knock white hose, the great thing about them is you can dye them any colour you want.

Don't worry too much much about your ancestors either, I'm sure that if you are like a lot of us you'll have done plenty of other things to embarrass them already and vice versa.

Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. I sometimes feel (inadequate?) because I know what a kilt CAN and SHOULD look like and I know mine DOESN'T (because it's very cheaply made and it shows) but you have given me the courage to wear it proudly knowing I've done the best I can.

Well at long last the temperatures have dropped down to around 20 Celsius, haven't been kilted for around 2 months.

Nothing special happened today, except the other Scottish chap in our team was challenged by the ladies "why aren't you wearing your kilt", poor guy.

It's been great kilting weather in Derbyshire, worn one every day.

Killer heat wave in Virginia, but I'm cool as a cuke in my USA Kilts casual in Grey Thompson tartan. On the road to see my Dad I pulled into a Wawa (service station) for a cup of coffee. Concentrating on putting a lid on a cup of coffee, I heard a female voice asking how I was doing today. I responded and asked the beaming associate how she was, thinking if I was bifurcated this would not have occurred. A moment later as I was llooking for something to go with the coffee, another female associate said one of the other girls wondered where I was going.

I told her and said she wants to know because of the kilt. Yes, she replied and I told her I wore a kilt on Fridays as a takeoff on Casual Fridays. Then I added that the next two weekends I would be attending Highland Games. She sighed with delight and said have a good time.

Gee, I wished I had taken up kilt wearing when I was a young man.

Kilted and walking Irish Wolfhounds has always worked for me.

My Kilted “Friday” Adventures shall expand the next two weeks beyond Fridays. Our local XMTS Rabble are meeting up Thursday evening at Park Lane Tavern for William Wallace Day. Friday is an off day for me to head for Saturday’s Green Hill Highland Games in Salem, VA. On Sunday, our local Scottish Society are gathering at the Colonial Tavern for recognizing William Wallace Day.

The following weekend, Labor Day weekend is our Virginia Scottish Games. Again, I have Friday off for preparations for that weekend. I just may continue my kilt wearing next week through the 4 office work days tying the two long weekends of kilt wearing together. I find wearing the kilt before these events help spread the word of them to encourage those of Scottish ancestry or those who just want to have fun; to attend.

Dusty, PM me on where you had your procedure. I know doctors here in Oxford that may suggest kilts for recovery and day of procedure if they knew it was an option. You may start a trend for the medical profession in MS (maybe across all borders).

I've had two-ish hernia repairs. One was nasty, the other turned out to be a huge lipoma causing the symptoms. Post surgery, trying to put pants on with a freshly stitched gash where one bends, was a nightmare. A kilt, would have made life much less painful.

Dusty, wish you a speedy, recovery & good health in the future!

That's a HUGE midge just above your elbow
