you don't need to understand the Scottish accents - you speak the language of loooooove :)
ReplyDeleteHah! "I can barely understand what they're saying" -- I'm glad I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteI want to know what historic things you've broken already! haha, that part made me laugh.

Ha, this is awesome. I love hearing about your life in Scotland!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying all the pros and cons in europe! I chuckled a few times at the juxtaposition of the pros and cons!

As you know, Rod is back in Scotland; between bad connection via conference calls and his thicker accent now that he's home, I can hardly understand a word sometimes!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love this list of pros and cons! At least the cons aren't too bad. Plus, who needs to understand what those Scottish men are saying. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I smiled reading this - there are definitely hidden cons. So glad you're seeing the sunny side of life (had to pun on Scotland's rainy weather!)! Getting skinny is nice in Europe with all the walking - I gave up processed foods for my year since they're typically expensive and dropped a full pants size. Plus, you get to go to the farmers market, and if you can, get to know the farmers and their colorful lives. xo
