Slept in till 9am...
Unusual..
Some "work" on gathering together the 37 entries for this year's Eurovision...
And Laura Thorn's various versions of Luxembourg's song...
We headed down the hill around 10:40...
...for the bus to Glasgow...
...arriving at midday...
Too early for La Pulcinella which opens at 1, so we walked a block to Little Tuscany...
Sparkling water...
Zucchini Fritte as a shared starter - lovely - never had this before...
Crispy fried zucchini, lightly seasoned and perfect for sharing, served with pesto mayo...
Raviolo all’Astice for Anne - fresh, homemade ravioli, filled with lobster, served in a
rich bisque with red onion cream, pistachio crumble and lime zest...
And pizza pollo for me - with chargrilled chicken, red onion and red lily peppers...
Tasty...
From there, a short walk to the concert hall for 2pm...
Front row seats...
...for this...
Here, the ceiling just before the recital commenced...
Beautiful and, at times, complex music, expertly played...
Here, a page from one of the two cello parts...
Then, a split and a wander - mine, of course, taking me down to Missing for the last 40 minutes of their day...
Eight purchases...
2CD set for £4...
3CD set for £3...
3 discs for £2 and 3 discs for £1...
Reasonable haul for £10...
Out...
...and a walk up Hope St to the Pot Still...
Met up again with Anne...
...and, half an hour later, nephew Craig and partner, Jillian...
Here, Jillian coming back from the bar....
Chat was top, so much so, apart from the above, no pics...
So here are their cats, which were a topic...
...and Craig & Jillian on holiday in January...
To the bus station around 8:40...
...for the 9pm bus home...
...followed by a 26, populated by people (like me) who had ventured out with, quite probably, too few clothes on to cope with how cold it got when the sun went down...
Walk down from the terminus...
...and, by 10:45, we were watching the highlights of Hearts' final win of the season, 1-0 against Kilmarnock - no doubt cousin Robert would have been there...
Commentary, for me, replaced by sampling some of today's acquisitions on the pink Walkman...
Ripping can wait till tomorrow...
Highlight of the Day : A trip to Glasgow - lunch, quintet, music shopping, meet up...
Today's New Music
