Was out to a nearby cycle store yesterday and in general conversation with the proprietor he mentioned he owned an apartment in the Canaries. This he let out on occasion, but only to select people and as I appeared to pass his criteria, I was offered the opportunity. This whilst I was wearing a plain navy-blue kilt which must be unusual since I have never seen anyone else in a kilt in my area.

Also just completed a full 48 hours without t******s, although still a little nervy about wearing a kilt in very public places. I did steel myself to go into B&Q (large DIY store for our overseas friends) - noted a few sidelong glances (mainly from staff) but otherwise ok.
