Thanks,
They usually send me a postcard, I would miss it if they did not.

So I got around to taken a pic of my new hat.

Nice if Grandpa was a round he would offer to arm wrestle you for that one.

That would be the highlight of my life right there.

Enjoy having you here scottish steve- had to go look up "pillock."

I like picking up some UK slang. "Toff" is a favorite.

Thanks!
I had to explain to a Wisconsinite a while back what a "Mummsy Sloan" was. This proved slightly more difficult than I'd anticipated!
And Scots too, is full of amazing expressions, as in The Wategaw, by Hugh McDairmaid below

"Ae weet forenicht i the yow-trummle
I saw yon antrin thing,
A watergaw wi its chitterin licht
Ayont the on-ding;
An I thocht o the last wild look ye gied
Afore ye deed !

There was nae reek i the laverock's hoose
That nicht - an nane i mine;
But I hae thocht o that foolish licht
Ever sin syne;
An I think that mebbe at last I ken
What your look meant then."

or
Am nay fou sae muckle as tired deid dune
It's gey and hard wark coupin gless for gless
Wi Cruvie and Gilsanquar and the like,
And I'm no juist as bauld as aince I wes.

The elbuck fankles in the coorse o time,
The sheckle's no sae souple, and the thrapple
Grows deef and dour: nae langer up and doun
Gleg as a squirrel speils the Adam's apple.

Forbye, the stuffie's no the real MacKay.
The sun's sel aince, as sune as ye began it,
Riz in your vera saul: but what keeks in
Noo is in truth the vilest 'saxpenny planet'.

And as the worth's gane doun the cost has risen.
Yin canna thow the cockles o yin's hert
Wi-oot haen cauld feet noo, jalousin what
The wife'll say [I dinna blame her fur't].

It's robbin Peter to pey Paul at least....
And aa that's Scotch aboot it is the name,
Like aa thing else caad Scottish nooadays
- Aa destitute o speerit juist the same.
