With all the shenanigans yesterday, going to see a doc here and a consultant there we had no time to celebrate our unofficial anniversary, so we nominated Friday to stand in for the 30th!
Scamp went out to FitSteps as usual and arrived home tired, aching but happy. I’d been in slob mode writing yesterday’s blog while she was out, so both of us got changed into something a bit more in keeping for an anniversary and got the bus to Glasgow to look for dragonflies in December!
We found one in Argento in Princes Square. A pretty one with blue wings and diamonds was the choice. Deal was sealed and the girl in the shop saved my day by inserting the charm into the bracelet for Scamp.
With the main work of the day done, we walked round to get a book in Waterstones with a book token Scamp had given me along with a bar of Fruit & Nut. As it happened, I changed my mind and bought a fancy bookmark instead.
We had discussed lots of places we could go for lunch / dinner but hadn’t settled on any particular one, but we headed up the hill roughly making for Sauchiehall Street after I’d taken a photo of a building John Malley had told me about. We were discussing going to an Italian restaurant we’d been in before when we noticed a place called Mowgli on St Vincent Street. We’d tried to get in there a while ago, but didn’t have a reservation and it was a two hour wait, so we left. This time we did make it and were placed at a small table beside half a dozen ‘Ladies wot Lunch”, obviously having a great time.
Food was sort of Indian and interesting. It was served like tapas with different things appearing at different times. We had too many small portions to list here, but basically we had starters to share, three smallish mains to share and instead of a dessert, Scamp had a latte with a measure of Kahlúa (coffee liqueur). I had their version of an “Old Fashioned” (whisky cocktail with bitters, soda water cardamom and orange). I’m glad we chose to take the bus and didn’t drive!
We went for a wander along Sauchiehall Street before we got the X35 bus home with a crowd of rowdy weans on the top deck. We chose the bottom!
With a bit of tweaking the photo John told me about became PoD. It actually looks a lot brighter that it was in reality.
A lovely relaxing day just what an anniversary should be.
Hopefully dancin’ tomorrow, although we don’t have a confirmation that it’s actually on yet!!
