Scottish Maddness

As you know we had some fairly strong winds recently and today another gale warning was issued (along with a prediction of 6" of snow overnight) but what did I see on my way to the in-laws but people playing golf now I realise that al golfers are mad after all what type of sport is it (if sport it is) that sees a grown man chasing a wee ball around a field with a club I ask you ! So it is no wonder that advocates of this "sport" were out in the wind and snow when all sane people were away home..

As most know I have been here a little while now and every now and then the little things remind you just how far from home I am. Some examples of this are after a big night out instead of having a hot dog or pie then heading home people test there bravery (and level of intoxication) by having a "haggis supper" as well some of the other local delicacies are deep fried pizza or battered hamburgers (salt vinegar and tomato sauce are a must on one of these heart attacks in waiting).Of course there are some other things here that have me wondering "now why don't we have that in Oz" chief among these are "toastie bags" these are a type of plastic bag that one uses to make a toasted sandwich in the toaster the bag doesn't melt you get a great toasted sandwich and no mess !!! (my favorite part ) all you have to do is wash the bag and your ready to go again.
