Breakfast in bed for her, then after selecting one of her ball gown, we headed off to Glasgow for a wander and lunch.
We got the bus to Glasgow and it was a slow bus that chugged away through every township on the way and stopped at every bus stop, I think. But we mustn’t complain, it didn’t cost us anything with our Bus Pass. The SNP are good for one thing at least!
Coffee in a Nero with a Cinnamon Swirl. The pastry was good, but it was a weak version of coffee in my cup – never happy!
We walked down to see the progress that was being made at the site of the fire from a couple of weeks ago. It’s still an alien place, nothing like the building that had stood there for all those years. However, work is being done and something will take its place soon, I’m sure.
Scamp fancied going to one of the restaurants in the Merchant City. It was her day, so she got to choose. She picked Santa Lucia near The Italian Kitchen.
Her starter was Cozze Ai Pomodorini. Shetland mussels with garlic, chillies, and cherry tomatoes. Her main was Sea Bass with Veg and a Lemon Butter sauce.
My starter was Bruschetta Classica. Chargrilled sourdough topped with a vibrant mix of cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. My main was Caserecce Salsiccia e Nduja. Twisted pasta with Italian sausage and spicy Nduja sauce.
Both washed down with a bottle of wine.
Good food in a place we hadn’t visited before. I think we’ll be back.
I had no camera with me today, on purpose, but walking back to the city centre I saw a nice shiny black car covered in raindrops with the message ‘Mother of the Bride’. And a few ribbons tied to the mirrors. That was an easy PoD!
We got the X3 bus back home absolutely stowed and with people standing upstairs and down. I think that’s actually illegal, but we weren’t caring, because we had a seat! The usual noisy, cheeky weans got on at Muirhead and began to show off that they could swear. They should be made to walk home from school. I had to do it!
We walked back from the bus stop in the rain and Scamp was just in time to catch a phone call from Hazy. I let them talk because it wasn’t my day.
Tomorrow we’ve business to do in Hamilton.
