Aye. Not great for now but letting numbers recover is the best way to ensure the tradition can continue in future. Allows the islanders to decide how to proceed themselves.
We have tickets 🧟
And everyone will be in costume! AKA Whatever you would normally be wearing when a zombie apocalypse happened to strike 😝
Hard to say. Probably around twenty pounds though. All reuseable bits. Charity shop purchases. Stuff I've made. The armour is infact cardboard, so very light, but based on real world armour parts. Research! Held up surprisingly well.
You choose a family to be part of before the event. Each has a theme.
Mine was The Withered. So I wore some lovely but faded old clothes. A green table-runner as a scarf. Pointed ears and horns (sheep-like). Pinned some bits of vine in my hair and drew some vine-like swirls on my face.
Oh, and there was the metal-looking arm I made.
Went to the Unseelie Gathering in Paisley. Learned that if you think you're over-dressed for it you're wrong.
I realise I often have a different perspective on this than many but, if no-one is using it why not let it grow wild? Bees and butterflies will be thankful.
Agreed. Either say we're independent and appoint an ambassador or have some respect and abolish it because we have our own government and this guy is literally nothing to do with them. Don't think I've ever heard one of these "Scottish secretaries" do anything of any use ever.
Until very recently I didn't either. It's made to sound very complex but the very basic version I have is just a tiny radio you can connect your phone to to send text messages to others with a meshtastic radio.
Mostly just a bit of fun but potentially useful if the mobile network is down / not reachable somewhere.
At the weekend went to my first LARP at the ACVC hub in Govan. Was very confusing but fun.
Plan to take the Meshtastic radio my friend helped me set up for my phone around for some walks. See if I can connect to any others. Sort of feels like Pokemon Go for mesh radios XD
Either my browser is being weird about loading things or everyone is too exhausted by what they've been up to to post.
Was up at Pride in Dundee. Not the biggest event but enthusiastic and friendly.
It's Midsummer weekend so going to a party. Haven't been dancing in a while so we'll see how that goes 😅

Post text reads, "Citizens of Glasgow have a tradition of putting a traffic cone on the head of the statue of the Duke of Wellington. They've brought the tradion over here and Glasgow'd George Washington [laughing face emoji] I love it."](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/401aa9d0-ed80-43e9-8445-353ee604ad72.jpeg)
