clothing

it might be rather chilly but it doesn’t stop the local wearing shorts

suitable for massive man (or woman)

way too tight, but way too cool to chuck away. not sure if i ever actually wore them. definitely gone in the pile marked ‘take’

nearly posted this with a typo in the title which would have been rather less family friendly than your usual funkypancake fayre.

i love this sign.  not entirely sure what it means.  but it’s a great.

rules me out.  i’m about 5% tidy.  at best.

i haven’t mentioned my military poncho for a while, but it’s still an essential part of my wet weather wardrobe.

for example, here’s a picture (taken by jane’s mum) of jane and i eating our picnic in the rain on an island in wales

and here we are slightly before a horrendous rain storm turned up on a boat.  everyone laughed at me in my poncho, but i had my camera bag on my knee hence the strange look.

when the rain storm came everyone got absolutely soaked, but i stayed dry (except my backside which got a soaking from the seat).  i got asked a number of times during the day where i’d got my poncho from as the once scoffers had become converts.

so there you are folks.  a military poncho update.  shown here is my lightweight model, ideal for summer showers.  the real heavy duty one is reserved for guaranteed rainy days.
