So what do you do during the Jones?

[New World Czech]

Now that I have been informed of a delay in receiving my kilt due to mill delays, I was wondering. What do you do to ease or take your mind off the Jones?
I started playing with color pallets for a future Czech National kilt. What are your thoughts.
Weathered

Ancient

I flipped the blue and green and darken for a Hunting

I don't know about others,but I go over and over the website of the place I ordered my kilt from and check and recheck my Email till the shakes go away.Also I find buying hose and such helps take the edge off.

I like the hunting color way .

You can make the shakes go away?!

Weathered for me in this tartan. Lovely.

I like them all. Nicely done.

To ease the wait I try not to buy another Kilt. Not always successful in that though.

Well, I learned to knit and made three balmoral bonnets. Working on number 4 now. Since it's going to be a year before I can even consider my next kilt purchase, I should have about twenty bonnets by then. :-)

I took up the penny whistle. Thousands of tunes to learn...so little time.

I took up the bagpipes. Dozens of neighbours to annoy in the space of five minutes!

Bagpipes are too much of a commitment for me. How long have you been playing?

[English Bloke]

... How long have you been playing? ...

As it turns out, they are a bit too much of a commitment for me too. Firstly they are much harder to play than I envisaged (I play other stuff) But mainly, my unusual work pattern doesn't allow for formal tuition and my children's needs and priorities don't enable much time to practice, so I wouldn't exactly describe my proficiency level as "playing". I am quite nifty on the practice chanter but the pipes tend to stay in the case. I'll get round to it again when I have a bit more 'me' time I expect. Provided I can still draw breath.

Those 'round to-its' are hard to find. When you find a source let the rest of us know. I received a bodhran in May and have yet to find time to work on technique and rhythms.
