How lucky!

How lucky is that? I got upgraded for the 14 hour stretch from Dubai to Melbourne. WOO HOO!

Bring on the champers...

Slàn Glasgow

Oh well, here I am, cappucinno in hand waiting to come home.

I thought I was going to be charged for excess, but the helpful guy at check-in showed me how to changes the bags, and I avoided it totally! So helpful! I brought home even more than usual, as there is a postal strike at the moment, and I couldn't post all the sheet music ans CDs that I bought - so I'm very lucky....

The plane is delayed half an hour take off, but it shouldn't affect connections....

I'm looking forward to coming home, but I will miss gorgeous Glasgow - a most wonderful city.

Gorgeous Glasgow

I can't believe how wonderful Glasgow is looking at the moment - clear skies, mild weather - not at all cold.

This pic is taken from near my Gaelic teacher's house in Kelvindale.

The Tardis of Buchanan Street

Here's the police box in Buchanan Street Mall, Glasgow.

Just thought I'd share it with you...

Highland Umbrella

This picture is, if course, the Glasgow Central Station railway bridge across Argyll Street, affectionately called the Highland Umbrella.

In the 50s and 60s, when large numbers of Highlanders and Islanders moved to Glasgow, usually for work, they would gather beneath this bridge on Sunday afternoons off to meet. The bridge provided shelter from the elements, hence the nickname!

How do you like this?

This is pretty arty, eh?

Another autumn pic

The colours and light are wonderful here in Queen's Park today.
