I have some good news and I've got some not so good news.

The "Randonnée Bretonne" (Brittany Walking) Kilt I ordered a month or so ago has, despite the UK postal strike, arrived safe and sound at my house in Lancashire.

The not so good news is I am currently situated about 50miles off the Norfolk coast, on an offshore Platform in the southern North Sea and will not be home for another 16 Days. Can't even post you a picture of it draped over a chair as photobucket is prohibited out here. Ooooh... I can feel this trip being a bit of a drag from now on.

As soon as I get home I'll give you all an illustrated low-down.
