    The 'Brittany Walking' Kilt has arrived.

    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.

    You have my sympathy, John - and my jealousy!

    Oh, now that is just too cruel.

    Weren't you the one donning a Speedo and greasing up with goose fat when the dandelions needed delivering? Methinks a reprise is in order. . .

    I meant to imply that he swim BACK to retrieve the kilt, if that's his only way off the platform.

    But as it's a "walking kilt," it might not respond well to such treatment.

    All right, back on topic -- congratulations on the new acquisition, condolences on the temporary additional Jonesing, and we'll wait with varying degrees of patience for the pics!
