I know y'all have been waiting, mostly patiently, for kilt tales. It has been a rather odd season so far. While was excellent the first two weekends we sold very kilt. Last week kilt sales improved dramatically. However, the timing of sales was odd. Not only for us but other shops as well. We stood about twiddling our thumbs wishing for a customer, the suddenly the place was packed to the gills for an hour or so. Then everyone disappeared again, a bit later we were all busy some of us, me, helping multiple folks at one time. That doesn't  allow for the more personal attention I am known for. Today was less busy, slowest day of the year. The weather forecast was late day/evening thunderstorms. They arrived just before 3pm. 

Fortunately,  because it was a slow day I had opportunity to do three separate kiltings. Saddly,  none of the lads made a purchase but I told the first two lads we were doing the kilting strictly for the merriment. 

The first lad came in with his lady and another couple. They were all dressed in faire appropriate garb. He was in a white short sleeve pullover and well fitted khaki pants. I say well fitted because he had a very shapely bum. He stood a bit over six foot, had a 32 inch waist and long well formed legs. Have mentioned that a shapely male calf was considered of prime importance during the Elizabethan period. We have the Queen's beloved turtle dove, Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester for that. But, I digress, Andrew, that was the lad's name acquiesced to becoming a bit of eye candy. Oh, I forgot to mention he was blond, blue eyed and had a charmingly handsome face. Normally he would dress in colors less likely to draw attention. However, since this was strictly for our fun he allowed me to dress him in an eye catching kilt of soft pastels. The base color was a very subdued butter yellow with broad cross lines in turquoise, magenta and soft purple. I know it sounds garish but it's not. We refer to as the Easter egg tartan. When we first introduced it three years ago the master only ordered 25 yards. The majority of those kilts sold within three weeks. We only have this one left because it is a small and it will require a young teen of stout heart to wear it. But again I digress. So in case you do not remember when I do a kilting I typically take the lad to a quiet back corner to dress him. The I call the interested parties to join us. I stand directly behind the lad shielding him from view while the others line up behind him preparing their devices for capturing photo and video memories of the event. The kilt walk begins with me giving soft instructions for lad to walk in his normal gait across the shop. Stopping at the far side of the shop gazing at the varied and sundry this on the other side of our garden. Whilst he is perusing those things we are contemplating his assets ... er, I mean pleats. Now imagine if you might a pair of lovely melons lovingly wrapped in clinging pleats. I rang the bell and cried "KILTING" only to have my cry echoed but my compatriots. Andrew began his walk. Those delighfully muscular hams flexed with each stride causing pleats to swing and sway. When he reached the end of the walk he stood back to us ... we were awestruck. The ladies were sporting ear to ear smiles for the lad was very well hung. He's pleats people his pleats. They draped in loving embrace display his extraordinary fine form. Once we'd had our fill of that view I bid him return to stopping him short about three paces so we could admire the front view. I think I mentioned he had a charming face but really we wanted to see his backside. I bid him turn and stand with his feet spaced shoulder width apart with his fists upon his hips. The stance of a bold Scot. Then I ask him to twist at the waist so he could look his shoulder at us and wink ... that my darlings is the "I'm too sexy for my kilt" pose and yes Andrew was most definitely too sexy for his kilt.

Shall I continue on to the next tale or do need to catch your breath and settle your heart?

Oh, I neglected to tell you the lad was in his mid-20's.

Okay fine, I guess I can forgive you for your bullying just this once...

At the beach.  Foot is very sore but I don't give a rip.  Beach and pool this morning then lunch and a nap on the deck.  I might be in heaven.

So Clo, if I go to France, should I just expect to wear a beret everyday, and have wine and a baguette with every meal?

A baguette? yeah definitely.

A glass if wine? Are you an alcoholic 🤔 

A beret? No one were a beret

But to be allowed through customs you'd have to pass a test to prove you know how to do a strike

Spike forgot that every single building in France has a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower

Good evening everyone

Looks like tomorrow could be a bit rough - massive cold front is crossing the south west corner of Australia. A huge area has a severe weather warning for Wednesday, about a million square kilometers
