Som jeg nævnte i et andet blogindlæg, havde vi forleden besøg af min søster med mand og barn.Jeg syntes, jeg hellere måtte købe noget lækkert til aftensmad, når de nu var her, og de havde tilbud på svinemørbrad i Metro (eller Makro, som det hedder herovre), så jeg fik fem mørbrader til ca. 100 kr. i alt.Danskere plejer at regne...

I’m pleased to be able to introduce the newest member of our family: Rosie Hamster.
We bought her on a farm in the Coatbridge area today. She was born on 12th April 2013 (so she’ll be one month old on Sunday), and she seems to be really lively and not shy at all.
So far she’s just exploring her cage, but we’ll start handling her soon.
If you’re interested, there are some photos of Rosie and her siblings on Facebook, and Phyllis has also created a whole photo album there.
Rosie will hopefully be with us for the next two years or so, so with a bit of luck she’ll live to see an independent Scotland!

At a cost of £5 for adults and £4.50 for kids (age 12 and under), you got a huge buffet with unlimited crayfish, herring, salmon, ham,...
