brrrr! it's going to be COLD!

[winterbadger]

But it's time to kilt up and go down to Alexandria for the annual Scottish Preview at the Lyceum. I anticipate a lot of very chilly, erm, knees, as various faux Scots talk to passers-by about things Alban. Two or three of us will be there representing the 18th century Highland regiments. I think in view of the cold I'll be in my 77th Foot kit today (the waistcoat and coat are good, heavy wool...)

Edit: Oh bugger. I won't, either; john_arundel still has it. "Temperate" 42nd uniform for me, then (the one with the thin coat and the linen waistcoat...)

Do you really go "authentic" when out amongst the Sassenach?

If you're asking what we wear under our kilt, the answer is, as always, "socks and shoes."

She stared at the glowing screen, chewing her lip. "Should I ask if he has a picture of him participating in the march?" she wondered. "More to the point, should I ask him where he keeps the badger?"

No picture of me, since I was doing the shooting, but here are snaps from our day at the Lyceum. The walk was the next weekend, right after surgery, so I didn't go.

But there are some photos of me in our (sparse) unit photo album. In this one I'm the file closer to the far left of the picture (no beard--yuck!). This one is me having luch (again, no beard, yuck!). Here I'm on the far rgith of the line.

And the badger stays home on the desk where it's warm. :-)
