Happy Burns Day!
Wednesday 25th January 2012
It's our first Robert Burns Day in Scotland, so we have been looking forward to it for a while now. Penny went out and bought a haggis for our dinner but I'm not convinced it will be better than fish!
I certainly consider myself to be Scottish (or at least an adopted Scot) but I have to admit it's difficult for penguins to get involved in the day.
My flippers don't seem to be ideal for playing the bagpipes, I can't really understand what people are saying when they're reading Burns and as for ceilidh dancing... well let's just not go there!
My ideal Scottish day would include listening to The Proclaimers, eating some of that tablet and drinking Irn Bru - mainly for the lovely orange colour that reminds me of Penicuik!
Anyway, happy Burns Night to everyone, I'm off to catch this haggis - it's running rings round Penny...
