I hope you'll be having a fine haggis tonight and a wee dram to toast the Immortal Memory wink

And since we can't travel anywhere just now......

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here
My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer,
A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go

Daddima, I remember it well! I spent six weeks in high dependancy there, just after I got married! sad

It's long gone now.

Daddima loved it, nearly as good as Aman walked into the bakers and asked "is that a doughnut or a meringue Naw yer right enough replied the baker.

It took me a minute to get that! DH came in and I was saying it over and over to myself, before it clicked!! I'm losing my touch. grin

Is it a doughnut or am I wrang? ( am I wrong?)

I have no association with Burns night, but my son sent me a joke today.
“A couple of my friends are having a joint party for Chinese New Year and Burns Night. They are calling it Chinese-Burns Night. I didn’t want to go, but they twisted my arm!”
