may!
Back on my blackberry again.
Yesterday Ronnie and I went out to the Barras for a stroll. It was a nice walk, like we were going back in time, but if truth be told I think we were there towards the end of the day and it was quiet and a bit depressing.
We ended up going in to see a fortune teller. It was sort of the reason we went out there, it's something to do eh and to be honest, I wasn't expecting to actually find it. It all happened really quickly though, we saw the sign, walked up the stairs then a moment later I was in a small room needing to take my coat off from the heat. I was quite nervous. She began by saying "I will tell you bad news if I see it so please be prepared"...
It cost £25 for what was at the most a 10 minute reading. She basically told Ronnie and I both the exact same things (I see travel coming up soon, studying will bring you good luck, you will emigrate, property will bring you success). She seemed really nice, but she also said my parents were separated (30 years of happy marraige) so I don't think I'll really go back.
Afterwards we went in to a pet shop and I saw these tiny wee kittens! I want one I want one I want one. We had lunch in Mono and then we went to see the Glasgow Cathedral. It's recently been refurbished and looked totally stunning. Then we went next door to the Peter Howson exhibition of research art work for his St John Ogilvie piece. The school I went to was named after St JO, so I know his story well. Seeing the paintings and the pain Howson managed to capture was quite awesome and made me feel quite emotional. Something I've never really got from a painting before. Oh well!
To top it off we went to the GFT to see Hanna. Never been to the GFT before, it's really olde worldy but I don't like the seats :( Hanna was good, so was Banna mwahaha. I'm not a film critic so I'll just stick with 'It was good' and maybe say more when I'm not using my phone :)
I hope you all enjoyed this photo of Ronnie carrying my bag!

My lovely gran
Today I went to visit my lovely wee Gran. We're so similar, we love to spend money and spoil people so when I was leaving she said she had this bag upstairs she had never used and she wondered if I might like it.
She came back downstairs with this gorgeous vintage, brown, box clip bag in perfect condition. Now I've looked into it, it's by the jewellery designers Mappin & Webb, dating from I think the 1950's. It also turns out to be made of lizard skin (wtf?!) and retails for about £100, depending on where you look.
Not sure how I feel about it being made from real animals, but omgosh it's just sooo prettyyy.
I'm back!
Internet's back and good to go!
Today I met Ronnie and we had lunch in Zizzi's in Princes Square. We were celebrating because he's just got a job offer! It's a fixed term advisor role on tax credits for the Inland Revenue. I had goats cheese ravioli. Scrummy!
I was feeling a little fragile having gone out with Adele last night. We went to the Blue Dog for some cocktails and then we stayed up watching 30 Rock, eating rubbish. After lunch Ronnie had the idea of going to The Lighthouse, off Buchanan Street. It's a Charles Rennie Mackintosh building, former offices of the Glasgow Herald and now home to Glasgow's first/only dedicated centre for Architecture and design. From level 3 you can climb the famous helical staircase to the top of the water tower, which we did, to find some really stunning views.
Glasgow's just lovely and it was really fun trying to get your bearings from a real birds eye perspective. There's a whole other city up there I didn't even know about. People had roof gardens and painted lines showed that some buildings had car parks on top of them. I only managed to take one picture because my phone battery was low, low, low.
When it was time to go and we were having a wee kiss, I looked round to find we were being watched from a window and two people started waving at us, giggling. Ah Glasgow!
