Saturday was birthday and cabaret day, as I spent the afternoon with friends to celebrate their son’s third birthday. One of his friends declared it to be a “boy party” – the kids had split off into girls (who were mostly older and friends of the older sister) and boys.…

It’s Robbie Burns Day, so I’m wearing my clan tartan (kilt) – Fraser hunting tartan. I do this every year. Of course, I need pants underneath while travelling in this freakin’ Canadian weather.
