Boots on the Other Foot

Thanks to all those who were concerned enough about my foot to laugh. Nothing serious, however. A stubbed toe and injured pride.

In other news, I just summoned the Piper to a special meeting in the Moot House. I felt it was important that we made some progress as I hate it when arguments develop to the point where people are hurt. No, sorry. I put that wrongly. I hate it when arguments develop to the point where I  get hurt. And did you know about the amazing power of electromagnets in attracting steel greaves? the Knight Shop International tells us that greaves were to protect the legs during the "vicious kicking" that went on during battle. Well, when their shins are clamped onto the Moot House wall, it turns out that Pipers aren't as immune to vicious kicking as they imagine. I think the noise he made could best be described as "skirling".

A pre-emptive apology to Pipers

I know we rarely apologise to Pipers of any Ilk, but it has occurred to me that I posted this morning in haste.  And in doing so, I may have unintentionally insulted innocent Pipers (if any such exist).

I referred to the performance of the Piper as "skirling".  To be honest, I'm not sure if that is the correct term.  When the Archdruid referred to "that skirling Piper", she may have been being just, um, descriptive.  So sorry to any sensitive non-Piper readers (the chances of there being any sensitive Piper readers seems remote).
