It being a lovely morning we got up and out fairly early and headed down Glasgow Green for a walk in the sunshine. Hunners of cyclists were also taking advantage of another unexpected sunny morning. Watched and listened in to some apprentice rowers getting loud and possibly expert instruction from the overhanging platform while their more proficient compatriots sailed gracefully past. Thought we would go to the Wintergarden of the People’s Palace for our usual Sunday lunch, but it was closed for repair of the roof. It’s been closed since July when a pane of glass crashed down from the roof. Luckily nobody was hurt. Unluckily Glasgow Council moved with their usual inefficiency and three months later, we seem to be no further forward. No press release to inform the public about their progress. A notice at the entrance says unhelpfully that the Wintergarden will be closed for the foreseeable future. So much for the information age.
Today’s photos were taken around Glasgow Green, but don’t bother clicking on them as Flickr has decided that they aren’t photos at all and refused to load them. It also tells me that the photos I uploaded yesterday aren’t photos either. I don’t know what was happening in September with Flickr, because there wasn’t any outage that month. I think every other month this year has seen at least one ‘down day’. It usually happens at a weekend when there’s nobody available to fix it. Yahoo, who own Flickr, don’t seem interested in maintaining it, but they still pester me to go to a Pro account. I don’t think so.
Scamp and I planted allium bulbs today. Two big pots of them. It’ll be interesting to see how they fare. One gigantic bulb in each pot, surrounded by five slightly smaller ones, surrounded by five even smaller ones.
Dinner tonight was Tuna steak for Scamp and Hogget for me. Hogget was interesting. A bit like lamb and also a bit like liver. Tougher than I’d have expected, but that might just have been my cooking.
Another of those beautiful mornings that faded to cloudy skies in the afternoon. Getting a lot colder too. Scamp got some pictures of a squirrel this morning trying to steal some nuts from the bird feeder. It sat for ages on top of one of the high fence posts. Quite comical.
