Safely in Scotland! We had a long but uneventful (bar being delayed for four hours to start with…and really, a flight delay is an uneventful as one can possibly get, when traveling) trip—now pleasantly settled down for a week in Glasgow. Lovely peaceful Sunday; we walked to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and enjoyed the exhibits, then had lovely Italian food at a nice place called Spuntini’s (see me with their Most Excllent Pizza Oven, below). Have just written 1000 words of MOBY, and ready to retire. Actual work (of sorts) begins tomorrow, but I had the pleasure of going out to the studio (aka “Outlander-world”) on Saturday, and meeting Terry, the head of the amazing Costume Department. The place—just the Costume Department—is HUGE! Enormous spaces filled with shelves of fabrics, rooms full of worktables, sewing machines, mannequins, walls of embroidery and sketches…and little Newbie, Terry’s new puppy, acquired just three or four days ago, and awaiting Ron’s arrival before being named. Here are a few photos of Costume—and one of Liz (one of the lovely costumiers) holding Newbie. All the people there were wonderful, and did a FABULOUS job on my costume. It’s Just Beautiful, and they did the fitting with remarkable skill—though I suppose they do have quite a lot of practice by now… I can’t show you my costume, but I can tell you that wearing stays is something like wearing armor. Small projectiles bounce off them, and you have Really Good Posture, perforce. Tomorrow, I’ll be on set most of the day, for read-through and production meeting, which will be Exciting. Will tell you what I can about it.
