In this land where -10C is nowhere near unbearable (we have gone as low as -58C), it's now late afternoon and a warm 4C for this time of year. Have worked and run errands all day despite a sprained calf due to slipping on ice/snow. Now, I've been banned from doing anymore work and designated as an invalid for the rest of the day/night. Scotland is definitely on my bucket list, especially Edinburgh.

I'm in central North Carolina, USA, sun setting. It was a warm beautiful day today. I always wanted to visit Scotland. I love watching Shetland.

Some of y'all live in places I'd love to see. Scotland is right near the top of that list because that's where my ancestry originates. My long gone grandmother, Effie, had a very thick accent when she spoke. She came from Edinburgh.

She was also very, let's call it, frugal. She grew up poor and despite having money after marrying my granddad, she always seemed to think poverty was right around the corner and lived her life in fear of it happening again.

Tell me about scotland.. pictures whatever

It's about 10c in East Tennessee on a cloudy afternoon, but no rain at least. It's a quiet work week given the holiday on Thursday, and then all hell breaks loose on Black Friday. Is there a Black Friday equivalent in the UK?
