They Were On Sale...

I have no idea what I am going to do with these silks, but they were on sale and they're gorgeous.

Three And A Half

Just working my way across here.  I should be done with this pretty soon.

Making Flower Mountains

This is almost like a band sampler.  I've gotten the next band done, and it looks pretty good.

Dinner In Glasgow

We were looking for Greek food, but ended up at this place because of the smell of the bruschetta wafting into the street.  The bruschetta was as good as it smelled.  I had Irn Bru to drink.  For some reason, I was the only one of the three of us to like it.  I do like it a lot.  Cheryl and I had shepherd's pie and Andreas had duck.  We also had a very Scottish nationalist waiter who was proud I drink Irn Bru.  We talked quite a bit about Scottish and British politics and he was great.  

For Warmth

I was very cold in Edinburgh, so Andreas bought me a cashmere scarf.  I love it - the colors are me, and it's so soft.  It also kept me warm the rest of the week we were in Britain.

On To February

February is started now.  These months are bigger than last year's, so it's taking me longer for each one.  I've got a pretty good start here, though.

Pho In Manchester

After looking around the Christmas markets a bit, we realized we were hungry.  We had no clue what we wanted to eat, so we ducked into the old Corn Exchange and found a pho restaurant.  Both of us decided pho would be a good idea on a chilly evening, so that's what we had.  It was good!  The drink is a mojito made with Vietnamese liquors.  We both slurped up all our pho and went back out to downtown Manchester and walked more Christmas markets, all warmed up inside.
