Grouted

Sue finished filling the tile joints yesterday. We've seen that the grouting changes the whole appearance of the floor. Suddenly the 'black' lines disappear and the floor takes on a unified colour. We're pleased with the result, but pleased that this phase of work is now finished!

We continue to do things for the first time, but this time it was not a gallic experience but a gaellic one. We have some Scottish friends who laid on a Burns Supper. They had gone to an incredible amount of trouble, serviettes with pictures of Rabbie Burns and copies of his poems. Donnie (duly decked out in kilt) addressed the most enormous haggis I have ever seen.I never realised that there are "gourmet" haggis - but I soon did after tasteing this one. We toasted Rabbie with a " wee dram" and then tipped some of it on our haggis - you should you try it, it is delicious. Some people had written poems in the style of Burns and we had a great evening. Annie assured us that this may be our first Burns Supper but it wont be the last.
