Guessing Game

Here's a little picture puzzle for you. What links the above photo with the significance of today?

Any ideas?

Need a clue?

Ready to give up?

Well the answer is of course Burn's Night. A Scottish celebration of their national poet Robert Burns, on his official birthday.

Now the big question is why doesn't England celebrate the birthday of our greatest wordsmith; William Shakespeare?

The 26th of April is his day, and it would be great if we could do something in a similar style to celebrate his life and work.

Instead of haggis and potatoes, we could have roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, and for afters, apple pie and custard. Or maybe the other classic English dish of fish and chips.

It's All Over Now

Well our last few hours of freedom are slowly slipping away, as we have to go back to work tomorrow, after having the week off and spending it at home together.

We both have fairly enjoyable, if not very well paid jobs, rather than having to do something that we both dread, but have to do it to live.

I am rather disappointed to find out that my Mac has developed a fault, after switching it on tonight and just getting a grey screen; so I am having to write this entry on my little Netbook. I am also not able to put on the photo that I was planning to. Instead, here's a shot from Glasgow, which I took earlier this year, on our last holiday away; albeit for only a few days.
