All together now...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?

We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.
Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne,
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.

We twa hae sported i' the burn,
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne.
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.

And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

It's New Year's Eve

Just one more day left of 2010. Enjoy it!

Christmas isn't over quite yet

Still receiving Christmas cards, due to the postal delays caused by the recent wintry weather. Happy Christmas everyone!

Nearly the end

As we come to the end of 2010, I've suddenly realised that the year in roman numerals (MMX) will be the one with the shortest length for 40 years, i.e. until 2050. How my mind works?! Roll on MMXI.

Preparation is everything

Spotted up at the castle in Edinburgh. Seems like they forgot to prepare the sign properly!

White Christmas

More snow overnight in Edinburgh, so there's no need to dream of a white Christmas. I hope everyone has an enjoyable day. Stay safe and warm. Jx

One eye to good spelling

Spotted in Monday's "i" newspaper. Seems like they're obsessed with the letter "i"
