Saint Andrew's Day

The Google Doodle reminded me: today not only the last day of November, it is Saint Andrew's Day, among other things it is Scotland's national day. I have some Scottish blood from my mother's side and I always had a particular fondness with the Scottish people, so I wanted to mention it on Vraie Fiction. Happy Saint Andrew's Day everyone and to my Scottish readers especially, if there are any.

Saint Andrew's Day's Treats

I am sure nobody noticed, but it is Saint Andrew's Day today. Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland. I often forget it, Google reminded me today that it was Saint Andrew's Day. It is also the end of November, which means it was absolutely frantic at work today. I didn't have time to go to the local sandwich shop. My colleagues and I had to ask our Kiwi colleague to go and buy our sandwiches for us. Still, I had my usual treat: chicken baguette, with tomatoes, lettuce, salt and pepper, Coca Cola and cashew nuts. And for breakfast, as it was a colleague's birthday, there was a heavy, absolutely decadent chocolate cake available. The last day of November was exhausting, but overall enjoyable.
