Horsey HAPPY

This iPhone is growing on me, here I am again sitting relaxing and typing up this post. Yes... I could be sat by my laptop and get online, probably via many social media sites and some externals site browsing, to complete this blog- but the convenient app on this iPhone allows me to touch type until my hearts content.

It's almost midnight and I'm just in the cottage. The night is still purple and pink from the setting sun fighting the moon, I couldn't believe the time when I came inside. Having been outside since 7pm I've just spent the evening pondering and wandering around the farm, enjoying everything there is to smile at without leaving my humble abode.

Lounging in the field with my furry friends.

Why the long face Hayleigh?

My homegrown vegetable patch Strawberries- oh so fresh!!


Now I'm off to sleep, like this sleepy horse- relaxed and happy.

GOODnight!

Week Two. Wonderful Times.

Starting my second week of my second semester at university, I find myself stumbling accross stereotypes for Scottish PEEOPLES.

"Scotland
  • All Scottish men wear kilts and tam o’shanters. They play bagpipes, golf and Highland Games and eat haggis and drink scotch whisky. Invariably their last names start with “Mac” and they use words like “aye”, “laddie”, “wee” with a strong emphasis on the letter “r”. Their hair will be red or yellow brown. Men wear sideburns or a beard.
  • Scots are often depicted as dour, grouchy and mean. Toughened by the harsh Scottish climate this has lead to the Violent Glaswegian stereotype. But yet they are so tough that they are usually cast as the Brave Scot.
  • The Scottish also have a reputation for being thrifty misers, which is a source for a lot of jokes (by foreigners, of course).
  • Scots deepfry everything.
    • From Doctor Who: "You're Scottish, fry something!".
    • Mock the Week, "Weird Things to See on a Road Sign": "You are entering Scotland. No salad for 200 miles."
  • "Get three Englishmen together and they'll start a club. Get three Welshmen together and they'll start a choir. Get three Scotsmen together and they'll start a fight."
"

I will admit to the occasional AYE(yes) getting used in my vocabulary, but then again would you not smother yourself in your native language.. .. However there is a time and a place for a fried mars bar, fortunately I shall never stumble accross that place, nor time and a FRIEDchocolate mars bar shall never be welcomed to my taste buds.
Haste ye back, you braw little creature! Cheery-BYE!
