Well the RSNO was fantastic, particularly their last piece which was the theme tune from Star Wars - sounds great played live! I must go to their next concert which is songs from the films. Claire and I grabbed a quick bowl of soup in Dinos (a Glasgow institution) and the waiters were hilarious. They kept calling us beautiful and asking for our phone numbers! All banter of course and complimenting a lady is always a good way to ensure a tip!
On Thursday we packed our tiny suitcases for the weekend. We are taking the MR2 up to Dingwall and Aviemore because the brakes need fixed and we have a contact up there. It ties in nicely with my folks timeshare in Aviemore so we'll get a couple of nights in the chalet with lots of walking and swimming (maybe even cycling!). However can I just say - don't ever have 2 cars in a 2 person household or change your name when you get married! In the last week we have had to fork out over £1000 to get the brakes fixed, MOT, tax, service, insurance renewed, petrol and get my name changed on my passport! I can't believe you have to pay £72 to change your name on your passport (even more annoying when I still had 9 years left on it).
Anyway the other exciting news today is that Glasgow have won the bid to host the Commonwealth Games in 2014! Hoorah!
Here is a wee photo of my brother at the finishing line of the New York marathon - Well done!
