Morning Mary,
Early afternoon. Its my brother's ...............one of those static ones.......the 3 bedroom job.......in the middle of some woods in the middle of nowhere with no power, no signal but has a gas oven and a wood burner and we a toilet in the woods.

And we have torches.

[IamMary]

I did have a kilt, black and red, during my 'never smile' goth period.
It was v cool.

Good morning to kilt wearers everywhere.

Ah my hubby will be there with you! Sounds fabulous! You'll have a ball and come home all Zenned up!
We're taking the tent out again later in the week. Last of the summer sun, I hope.

I'm away to do a few jobs........Mr JC is being 'busy' so I'd better look as if I'm doing the same.

Hello again, I was just up at the shop treating myself to a calorie laden danish, yum.

Just another silly milestone I thought I'd share
Just painted my OWN nails for the first time in 2 years.
Unsteady hands never really allowed for it or in my downtime I was too busy drinking to do it

:yay:

I've read before about you all buying jumpers (and must say I was kind of surprised :egad:!) but now that I hear you wear them with kilts, I'm guessing this isn't what you mean:



So... I looked it up and found this:

There is a lot of regional variation on the meanings of these words. I am only familiar with US English and UK English, others can fill in the blanks:Jumper: In the UK this just refers to an garment you wear over your shirt for warmth. It doesn't have buttons, and it pulled over your head.
In the US this has a completely different meaning. It is a type of girl's dress, a top, with attached shorts basically. (Google will be happy to show you images.) It has a kind of "little girl" sense to it kind of like pinafore, however, for sure adult women wear them too.
Sweater: In the UK this is the same as a jumper, a garment you wear over your shirt, with no buttons, and is pulled over your head.
In the US this is a similar item, however, a cardigan with buttons can also be called a sweater in the US.
Pullover: again is a garment you wear over your shirt, pulled over your head. The meaning is the same in the US and UK, but it is a pretty uncommon word in the US.
So in the UK it all means pretty much the same, however there are considerable semantic variations in the US.
This is just based on my personal observation having lived in both countries. I am sure there are lots of subtle regional variations. For example, in the UK the further north you go, the more likely you are to use jumper instead of sweater, and vice versa. Though pullover is pretty universal.

Am I on the right track now :smile:???

PS I don't agree with the "attached shorts" part for the U.S. usage".

Am I on the right track now :smile:???

Yep. Mind you we call a vest ..........a waist coat......a vest is something like a strappy t-shirt to wear under a jumper when its really, really cold.

Right off the kick Mr JC's backside.............you'd think it was an Arctic expedition not a week in Scotland.

Think of me while I'm gone.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
