    In shorts, but happy

    I drove to a job yesterday, kilted, but changed briefly into shorts just for the job. I'm glad I did.

    I was high up a ladder updating honour boards in a High School gymnasium. Below me was a girls choir, practising.
    I don't think I could have done that kilted

    Today I was at another school. A small lad walks past and boldly asks: "wotcha doing in a kilt?", I was surprised by his openness and could only reply "what are you doing in trousers?".

    With a sigh he said "It's not my choice" (school uniform). So I said a kilt WAS my choice. What a nice lad he was.

    I met an Indonesian women in the main street, she exlcaimed how nice I looked, I thanked her and reminded her that in her country the men wear a 'sulu', I guess she is more comfortable than most with MUGS.

    Glen, I got 70c discount on a cuppa tea today 'cos of the kilt! I'm catching up with you!

    best for the job

    Hey Graham.I wear whatever is best for the job at the time.I needed to do some work on the roof this past week and knew I would be kneeling for most of it so to litteraly save my skin I opted for pants.(bl$$dy uncomfortable as you guys might say) BUt I kept my skin.It's nice to hear children who haven't been currupted by predjudice ask questions.Their openness is refreshing.


    Take care
    Dave
