Burns Night and Lunar New Year!
Evening all, I hope you're having a great day! Seeing that it's Burns Night today, I thought it'd be nice to write this entry in English. Hopefully, I'll be able to write one in Scottish Gaelic next year! I just have to work harder! :) Happy Burns Night to all the Scots here! x
Today also marks the start of the Lunar New Year. Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate it! 😊 Here in Hong Kong, it's a chance for families to spend quality time together. We usually visit relatives that we don't see very often. Though, the younger generation usually does not enjoy the festivities because they think they're merely exchanging pleasantries with (pretty nosy!) relatives. I partly agree with that. I'm not close to my relatives at all. In fact, we literally see each other once a year. It could be a bit awkward sometimes during the Lunar New Year reunion. However, I still think it's nice to catch up! :)
Traditionally, children get red packets from their parents and relatives. Well, you don't even have to be that young. As long as you're not married, you'll get some red packets!
I'm heading to the family dinner now, but I've made a full Scottish breakfast earlier to celebrate Burns Night! I couldn't get hold of haggis and black pudding, so technically it wasn't a full Scottish, hahah. x I did make a whole batch of potato scones. They're my favourite potato side dish, not even hash browns can top them! If you've ever been to Scotland and tried freshly-made crispy tattie scones, then you know why I love them so much! I usually make around 30 scones at a time and, yes, finish them in less than 15 minutes! I'll also be making cranachan tonight. It's a traditional Scottish dessert which is often eaten after the Burns Supper. I like it a lot, probably because it has whisky and honey in it! Lolx I'll be reading myself a wee bit of Burns' poems tonight! Making Scottish dishes always makes me miss this beautiful country so much! I spent a few months in Aberdeen before but I haven't been back for a few years, I hope I'll be able to make another trip soon! ❤
I have to go now, have a nice weekend you all! ❤ Stay healthy! 😊

Starting a sentence with "though" doesn't sound right. Usually we put it at the end, but putting it at the end of a long sentence doesn't sound quite right either.
I partially agree with that.
"partly" is for tangible things and "partially" is for intangible

I can't think of another way to rephrase the end of the sentence. You're not in it, so it seems weird to say "this" but "that" and "the" also don't quite work. Of course you can always exchange "beautiful" for "bonnie" XD
I have to go now, have a nice weekend you all!
❤ Stay healthy!

Rarely have I ever met someone who enjoys a Scottish breakfast xD, but maybe it's because you missed the black pudding and the haggis! Those are the ingredients that always freak me out. Happy Burns Night, hopefully you had a wonderful Hogmanay!
