I’m truly sorry, Man’s dominion
Has broken Nature’s social union,
An’ justifies that ill opinion,‍‍
‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍Which makes thee startle,
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion,‍‍
‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍An’ fellow-mortal!

—Robert Burns, “To a Mouse, On turning her up in her Nest, with the Plough, November 1785”

Happy Hogmanay! ✨

As a proud Canadian with equally proud Scottish heritage, I love this moment of reflection, celebration, and starting fresh.

Here’s to 2026!

A dramatic nighttime scene shows a group of silhouetted people standing in front of a large bonfire. Several figures raise arms or hold sticks or swords, while one person waves a yellow flag with a red lion (the Scottish Lion Rampant). Sparks and flames light the background, creating a fiery glow and strong contrast. The figures appear celebratory or defiant, gathered closely together in a public outdoor setting.

A little dram of #Scotch in hand for a rare pre-supper treat. #slainte!

The wind is howling outside and our Xmas wreath is smacking the door.

Cats are quiet and washing after getting their supper (don't let them tell you it never happened).

THANK YOU, ROBIN! Die Nachricht, dass Robin Laing verstorben ist, macht mich fassungslos. Hier geht's zu seinem Song "Thank you Whisky Vicar", mit dem er mich 2020 überrascht hat: youtube.com/watch?v=0rOj... Gott hab' ihn selig! #Whisky #Scotland #Schottland #Slainte #Tod #Death #Trauer

Medicinart capsule 017/444 Title: Vieren
Definitely not my most beautiful, but we're here for fun in the first place, right? Title says: '(multiple) Fours' in Dutch, also meaning 'Celebrating'.
Since I thought out the 'medicinart' concept in 2017, recovering in hospital from a brain hemorrhage, anticipating a new life with handicaps and pills, I made 444 of these #analogue little works of #art meant to #heal myself and recipients. I do not intend to stop here, but it's time for a modest #skol #prosit #kampai #sante #yechedmat #proost #slainte #salud #serefe #salam #skal #saude #nazdravi

A photograph of Irish actress Denise Gough against a gray background above text of her quote: "The same British forces that terrorized Irish Civilians were then sent to Palestine. We were terrorized by the same army. Irish-Palestinian history is so linked."

I would be remiss if I didn’t make a grid for today. 🙂

With St Patrick's ☘️ Day tomorrow, here's Part 13 of 'There's more to Irish stout than just Guinness' - Big Fish by Bullhouse Brew Co.

Just like that worldwide beer, this is also 4.2% ABV and served via nitro - but hold on! The difference is Big Fish is enjoyable 😄 Creamy, nutty, dark chocolate and a whiff of roasted coffee beans all make for a great St Patrick's Day trial run ☘️

#Guiness
Lots of stories in the UK about shortages of Guinness. Maybe true, maybe clever marketing but either way there is some humour to be had.
