The discussion on dress codes always amuses me. This week I went to a well known UK outdoor event.

 

Events such as this in Australia are known to be very casual in a dress sense. So I didn't quite expect the things I saw. Lets just say the average show attendee was better dressed than a La Terraza diner on an informal night. Many gentlemen wore jackets. Most women were in long dresses.

 

There were more women wearing stilettos than Tevas. Sandals were quite rare. Though as it is in La Terraza the white tennis shoe was the most popular footwear.

As for the men many wore ties,even a few bow ties. But the prize went to the fellow in a dark suit,tie,bowler hat and red spats. I actually saw 3 men with spats and only 2 in shorts.

 

But I wasn't allowed to get this shirt.

 

Passed a tailor on the way backn to the apartment and thought this would look god on the Muse.

 

Rojaan said don't be stupid hat's a morning jacket. I said but the Aussies and Americans wouldn't know that.

I guess the vests aren't going to be allowed.

 

Isn’t that a waistcoat? Pronounced Weskit?

Whatever its called, its quite splendid!

Love the wide lapels on the morning jacket.

I'm British and pronounce it waistcoat, but some may say weskit I suppose.  You won't see very many like this around, though.

Love this @Lvshack

Thinking back on the Rascals:  songs like Just a Little, Groovin, Lonely too Long, introduced me to soul music with their versions of songs like Mustang Sally.

Have a blast at Wembley!

You look beautiful!  Obviously not thrilled with the direction of your flight though.  Onward and upward to infinity and beyond!  And seriously consider a World Cruise!  😄

Greetings Coolers!

 

Today's funny.....

 

 

Have a great safe fun day all!

Commiserations Rojan and drron. Thank you both so much for allowing us to follow along on your adventure. Here’s to the next one!

Currently on Whisper in Alaska. Service way below par, but Internet much improved thanks to Elon Musk's Starlink Satellites!

Well we nearly made it home with out a problem but stumbled at the last hurdle.

Our limo driver of 30 years retired while we were away. He had passed it on to the company he was working for.

He had confirmed that the company had the booking and some one would be there to meet us. They weren’t. Rang them and got a message saying this service is unavailable please email us.  
 

So rang our old driver who rang the owner and they had the date wrong. Arranged for someone from Brisbane to take us home.

Now looking for a new limo company.

 

But the good news is that we board the Muse in 19 weeks. Only a short cruise of 44 days.

At least your trip home next time should be a lot easier!

 

It was great to meet you both on the Moon, maybe we’ll share a ship and trivia again sometime.

And I think I am the middle one - she appears to be eating rather than smoking, and is a touch on the chubby side.  Mysty, that meal looks divine, as usual.
