wine, haggis and some highland dancing

drinking up before the dancing begins

my plate of tatties neeps and haggis

friday, Jan 23 was Robbie Burns day, and in true style, a group of us went to a ceili. it was so much fun!

of course, we went to a pub first and saw others wearing thier finest tartan (or in my case, plaid...close enough) had some pints and over to the hammersmith town hall. we had more booze. then we ate haggis, tatties and neeps, chased it down with a bottle of red wine, and we hit the dance floor. i have no idea what dances we learned that night, but they were so much fun! i wish i could post video. i of course brought my camera but have no idea who took most of the photos and video but i'm grateful because i got to be in them.

i woke up this morning extremely hung over and i had to quickly pack. i have 15 mins before the taxi comes and shuffles me off to heathrow for the flight home. i have to say though, i got up at about 5 am this morning for a pee, and i went to stand and my feet were in agony. all that jumpin' around.

i'm definitely not as young as i used to be!

ok - this is my last post til i'm back...i think that now that i'm here, to blog from canada is kind of...dumb.

i'll post pics when i can
