It's the Scotswomen that are wonderful trouble.<br /><br />Just keep the rain in your face and a stiff wind up your kilt, 'n everything will turn out fine.<br /><br />As for having no energy for writing something clever, go on now, you're just giving us more evidence that the Scottish are epic tellers of tall tales.<br />Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.com
