Scotchy goodness
Two important dates for next year’s diary:
- Robbie Burns Scotch Tasting @ C’est What? on January 23rd
- Spirit of Toronto at Roy Thomson Hall on May 10th.
Thoughts for the day
Only two years ago terrorists blew up a Tube train and two buses in London. Two years ago – in some ways it seems a lot longer because we still hear more about September 11th, and that was 2001.

There are a lot of crazy, fanatical people out there … but I still don’t understand what makes a bunch of doctors and other health professionals lose their minds and launch attacks against innocent people anyone?

Time flies, eh?
It’s exactly six years since I moved to Canada! I suppose we should have Kraft Dinner to celebrate or something, but I’d rather count last night’s sushi instead. 
So what’s happening in England? Let me know what I’ve missed.

Blue Monday
I preferred them when they were still Joy Division, but New Order had a few good songs … oh, wait – wrong Blue Monday.
This particular Blue Monday is defined as the most depressing day of the year, which for this year has been calculated as being today, January 22nd.
Personally, I didn’t find today to be any different to other Mondays, and fortunately it was a whole lot better than last Friday. How was your day?
