Glasgow was great! had a really good weekend and managed to relax a bit too. Da boat was so gentle on the way down, but on the way back they warned us it wid be rough. Force 8. I gobbled down some stuggereon but forgot about the instruction to swallow whole, and chewed them. So I conked out pretty soon. And the trip was really smooth, no need to panic at all.
To make matters worse I made my friend eat them too, and she conked out too.

On the first day we travelled by bus to Edinburgh, did some shopping and met a good friend and ex-neighbour, caught up wi all the news and gossip, and had wir tea in a pub. Because of the rugby we couldna get any accommodation, so we went through to Glasgow. Amongst other things we wanted to buy a drum, a very kind taxi driver took us round all the drum shops in Glasgow. I left da lasses to meet my son who is studying in Glasgow, and had a very nice Moroccan lunch wi him. Lamb, cous-cous with almonds and prunes, in a tagine.Must make it at home. (must buy a tagine first) On Sunday we picked up a car from a friend who bought it at auction, and drove back to Aberdeen. It should have taken us a couple of hours but we took most of the day. One of us wanted to visit a pal in Woodend hospital, so we tried to find it - and failed, gettin lost several times. We had to have to car at the boat by 4 at the latest, and when we left Woodend we had 20 mins to get there. I was map reader, but through no fault of my own(?), missed the first instruction and took us on a detour through Aberdeen's back streets. Fortunately I could remember Aberdeen quite well, but unfortunately I had never been in this bit before. We ended up drivin through containers over narrow cobbled streets, and at about 1 minute to four I waved my hand in an 11 o clock direction (north-north westerly for the sailors among us) and said - 'Da boat's ower yonder - I ken it is'. When we drove past some Shetland Transport containers I knew we were gettin close, and as if by some miracle we emerged out of the container park - and we were just across the road fae da NorthLink ferry. Phew. THEN they said they mibbee widna be sailin till 8 because of the tide....
And I never got to Ikea!
