Looks like the heat wave has ended as we awoke to a more normal climate in Glasgow.... 19ºc with a high of 23 forecast. We will take it!
We walked over to the huge mall next door, the Enoch Center…. Big mistake! Toy stores galore! I grabbed a croissant while the shopping went on. 😃
So many parcels that Kelly had to return to the flat to drop them off. We then headed off to Glasgow Green to watch North Stratton's practice but as we were early we stopped for a beverage at the Old Ship Pub right across from the park. It was very nice as we sat outside and enjoyed the goings on. Lots of band members walking on by. Prices were very reasonable too!
We
easily found the drum section as they set up for a YouTube video shoot
by Rhythm Monster. It should be published in a day or so. Video will
eventually be here
The
pipers all showed up early for their 2 pm start and the band proceeded to warm up. Kelly
wandered down the path and found St .Lawrence O’Toole PB (SLOT) and
watched that for a while.
Drummer Kyle, the band’s resident scotch expert, bought us a nice 200ml sampler of Kilchoman single malt. Incredibly kind of him.

| Nice!!!! |
After band practice we wandered back towards the flat. A stop at the Old Ship Pub for a refreshment with Cody and some other band members.
We prepped for our dinner tonight with Mary, her sister Isobel and husband John. We are going to House of Gods for a drink then to The Citizen for dinner.
Drinks and dinner were very good and we really enjoyed meeting Isobel and John. Lots of laughs as we all got caught up on grand kids, travels and activities.
It's show time for the World Championships as it gets underway tomorrow morning.... we will be there!
Steps: 11,200
Weather was sunny with 23ºc temps... very nice indeed!
