Not just any old town, this was Glasgow town. I was meeting Alex for a photo walk.
A photo walk that would start in Caffè Nero, as most of our photo walks do. We’d intended going to Paisley if the weather was fine and if it wasn’t we were heading for Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the West End. After some discussion we agreed that we’d get the bus out to Kelvingrove because there were occasional rain showers and the weather wasn’t great. Before we went there, I wanted a look at a replacement Sony 24-105mm lens and by luck they did have one on display in Jessops. It’s not my favourite photo shop, but their price for the lens was just the same as any other of the shops I’d looked at online or in the photo shops. I had a look at the lens and a listen to make sure there were no squeaks or squeals from it and that put my mind at rest. I thanked the assistant for the chance to test it. I might just buy it some day soon.
With that done we walked round to the bus station and just managed to catch the bus to Kelvingrove. The Art Galleries hadn’t changed much, but they rarely do change their exhibits. I walked round the outside of the building to get some architectural photos while Alex went looking for something new to photograph inside. I did get a few photos of the old sandstone building and fancied that one of them would make a decent photo. In fact, it made PoD, there being no real contenders to take its place.
We met up again inside and Alex suggested we go for lunch. We both went for a sandwich. The food in Kelvingrove is really quite excellent, and quick service too. Another walk round and we bought a few things in the shop, then we caught a bus back to town.
Another coffee in Waterstones and we walked down to the bus station. Where we parted company and decided we’d pick somewhere we hadn’t been for a while for our next jaunt. Possibly along the coast if the weather was kind to us.
Back home and with a plate of soup on our laps we settled to try out Wordle because neither Scamp nor I had attempted it. We pooled our collective knowledge and managed to outwit the puzzle setter.
Later we watched the final of Masterchef The Professionals. For once, I got it right.
Tomorrow, Scamp is intending to go to her last FitSteps class. She thinks it may be the last one of all, as the numbers are dropping away. I’d just say “Never say Never”.
