Shades of Scottishness

Four years in Scotland today and I'm quite settled:

- I can read 'Trainspotting' without an English - Scots dictionary
- I don't expect rain to last long but I also don't expect a week without rain.
- I no longer expect instant hot water in a tap.
- I no longer expect just one tap.
- I don’t even turn my head if I hear Polish on the street.
- I can drink neat whisky.
- I rant, skive, get grumpy, get pished and have a blether.

Wonder what the next four years will bring...
