Luca in a kilt......

......is a picture you'll see on this blog in the next few days. Apologies for raising your hopes in advance. Tomorrow Luca, Ross, Donald and I have our kilt fitting at McCalls (http://www.mccalls.co.uk/), while Dad will follow suit on a later date. While there we'll book Scott, Cade and Braedens kilts too (with final fittings when they arrive in Scotland in October)

The most pressing matter is whether Luca will accept being dressed in a skirt? We have enough "fun" with him in the morning deciding upon which t-shirt to wear ("I want the Ben 10 t-shirt, I don't like the monkey one any more. Or that one. Or that one. Put it back") without attempting to wrap a heavy woolen kilt around his waist.

"It's very drafty" is what I fully expect him to say if we get it on him......

Following my brief daliance with the idea of wearing morning suits rather than kilts, as you can see I'm now fully (albeit reluctantly) committed to wearing this outdated outfit of an age long since passed. With this, I now need to address how best to put weight on before the wedding in order to avoid the matchstick leg look. Unfortunately, I'm a little unsure as to how to go about this.

"Eat more pies" is the obvious solution, but not one that seems to work with me (I eat many pies). What foods are best for adding weight, in particular taking into account the limited exercise I presently undertake (one game of football and one gym session per week, allied to dog walking)? This question is aimed mainly at the medically trained readers out there - Lucy, Kelly and Liz. See the new poll attached to today's blog and vote to help me stride confidently out in a kilt with legs appearing a little less similar to a hairy spiders than they presently are.

**Useless fact of the day - The spider's leg is obviously very hairy. Almost all these hairs are sensory hairs (in fact they are more like bristles), and act as receptors that can detect touch and vibration**
