I&#8217;ve been thinking of reducing my Internet use at home to the bare minimum, i.e. just emailing (when I have to) and &#8216;information search&#8217; (including buying stuff).
Why?
For a number of reasons.
One, security/privacy. I don&#8217;t like the idea of putting myself about online &#8211; I&#8217;ve completely gone off that idea. I don&#8217;t want anyone [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lenina.wordpress.com&blog=315080&post=1405&subd=lenina&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I found out the other day that my wee nephew&#8217;s birthday was this Sunday passed (25th January) which is the same as Burns&#8217; birthday (the Scottish National Poet). The funny thing is that my nephew is also a redhead &#8211; this gene &#8216;jumped&#8217; a generation (my dad is a ginger or &#8217;strawberry blonde&#8217;).

Today (25th January &#8211; 250th anniversary of Burn&#8217;s birth) marks the start of Scotland&#8217;s Year of Homecoming.
Apparently, it &#8220;aims to attract expatriates back to Scotland to celebrate the country&#8217;s culture and heritage.&#8221; (from Burns Events kick off Homecoming). There are at least 20 million people with Scottish ancestry living outside [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lenina.wordpress.com&blog=315080&post=1393&subd=lenina&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

This Sunday 25th January is Burns night, where traditionally, people in Scotland eat a Burns Supper and recite his famous poem, Ode to A Haggis. I&#8217;ll be spending it at my BF&#8217;s parents&#8217; house and will all dress up (wearing a tartan scarf and jacket hehe).
