strangers in the night

Well, it's definitely still night-time, and a strange person has just wandered in, muttering something about "hills", and wearing a classic "highlighter" ensemble - pink legwarmers, stripe on leggings, headband, and a neon yellow top ...

I'd add a photo, but frankly, she's scaring me.

Happy Friday everyone!

Next time, I will! Before it gets too warm for long-sleeved neon and legwarmers :)

Please add a photo. To me it sounds the Ghost of the 1980's Christmas Past but I'd need a picture to confirm it :-)

Good to know there's someone impersonating a highlighter out there. I apparently am working my inner "Christmas Tree"?! LOL. Fair enough it's because of the lights, but it's an odd Christmas tree he has given they're all neon blue! :D (So you can try & picture it, I have wraparound clips on the back of my trainers and like a glo stick dog collar around my upper arm!). So if you need a hand scaring people... :P

there's a few people on here - rolysmate doesn't have so much as an inner Christmas tree but an outer one :P and soooo many of us have a "highlighter" colour scheme going on. Your lights sound amazing! If we're near each other I'm sure we'll spot each other and possibly give each other a fright!

I also remembered with slight concern that I think I caused someone to go through a red light as they were busy staring at me ... so I might not run that way dressed like that again!

Luckily I have them on static, because if they were flashing people would be thinking Police Scotland had had a serious budget cut... :D The dog collars work a treat. Cheap as chips and there's no way you can't work out there's something in the road! I shall have to check out rolysmate 's ensemble though. :)

Scotland! Well then, between us we've got much of the country lit up! Glow-sticks and legwarmers - what an 80s/90s pair we'd make!
