A night on the town...

Went up to Glasgow on the bus yesterday to catch our son Mark doing his improvisation show with 'To be continued'...they were very funny!

Had dinner in the very Christmassy 'Merchant city' before heading to the show.

Glasgow was looking great!

Got slightly distracted on way back to bus...heard live music coming from pub...which was full of an eclectic mix of Glaswegians having a rare old time!

Then met German couple who  had been to the show and stopped for a 'blether' in George square...spent too long with them which meant we missed the bus. Had to wait until midnight to get next bus. Glasgow bus stations are interesting places...were joined by others in same boat. One young (and slightly drunk) man was begging for the use of a mobile as his batteries (had two phones -one his work's) had run out. Asked the wrong people...Pauline had the same problem and I don't do phones.He needed to make it up with his girlfriend back in Prestwick...something to do with a Christmas present. Eventually borrowed a phone from someone who claimed he was the station manager but I don't think his cause was helped by the bus queue singing 'I just called to say I love you' down the phone! Sat beside us back to Ayrshire...think he wanted us to adopt him! Great night had by all!

Footnote: As we were walking the streets of Ayr around 1.40 am the birds were singing in the trees above us practically the whole length of Racecourse Road...a very looong road. Is this normal behaviour?
