Xmarks Burns Supper @ Ferintosh 2007!

So we'll prpobably sneak out alone to get that kidless-and-just-the-two-of-us feeling

Entirely the right thing to do, Patrick. Ann and I don't get out much together because of her limited mobility, so I'd expect she'll be key to whatever I do around Dumfries on Saturday before the Burns supper actually starts. She may want me to take her around the town centre shops, as there is much better shopping in Dumfries than we have here in rural Hawick.

So you drive on the left in Norway too then?

Do the other drivers?

Jonesing for a Burns Supper makes a change from Jonesing for a kilt.
Not long to wait now, with Porrick setting off tomorrow night.
Have a safe journey, Porrick and everyone else coming a long way for this event.

A safe journey to all!

I'm now polishing off my fingerprints to get the last pins smooth and shiny

**McClef** · 23rd January 07, 05:36 AM

I'll be at choir practice, kilted in my Scotland National.

But my heart will be at Ferintosh!

Safe journey all!

Well, I'm almost finished packing, the details are taken care of - I think....

I fly out of here at 18:45 tomorrow so I still have a bit of time. Lordy...

Robertson - Is there a dry cleaner nearby where I can get some stuff pressed? The kilts will most likely be OK but the jacket and shirt I have some doubts about.

AND I can't find the formal tie that I want to wear -- I assume that I can buy a silver long tie at perhaps "Anderson's"? If not you folks may have to endure me as the perpetual "Ugly American" in a jumper, kilt and Argyll jacket.
