Knock-off T-shirts and tailored suits

Jun 01, 2005 12:25

In the final stretch now, just over 3 months to go. And I've had my 1st stint of travel fatigue, which I suspect is a less-wussy name for home-sickness. But hell, I'm a world traveller and can get away with the non-wussy name for it now.

Well hey, I still haven't come up with a non-wussy way to say we miss you both terribly.

We've seen Ronald MacDonald in the Wai pose

That's really quite scary. You couldn't make it up, could you ?

The photo will be made public on return.

my tailor is buying us lunch

Just don't be surprised if it's a bit chewy. What do you think happens to those offcuts?

"This is a bit loose isn't it?"
"Just wait until after lunch, sir!"

Both very good theories! You would not believe how fat I am, however. I have trouble believing how fat I am, and I was there when the tailor measured me. That he offered me lunch after discovering my waist measurement suggests he's a very brave or very wealthy man. Perhaps undyingking has the better idea - he's realised I'm a porker and is trying to slim me down some, in case I have a heart attack before final fitting...

Mmm, breezes, sand, surf, being able to drink alcoholic cocktails by the bucketful...

Hope you both stay well, we're all just sitting here really...

Ugh. Hungover today. Frances insisted we hang with the locals last night, and ended up headbanging to a chinese guy doing Metallica covers. Excellent bassist, playing a regular bass guitar left handed, didn't seem to fret at the difficult riffs. Or perhaps he was shit and I was too trolleyed to notice.

I'm jealous. But if I'm still in London when you get back, we must go to dinner and compare tailored suits...

That'll be 3 dinners. 3 suits, you see.

;o)

I'm going to be poor, but very well dressed on return!
