I belong to Glasgow..

 Hello again!

I think I make the mistake of leaving things to the last minute, hence posts like last month!

I made my 200K target again, no real problem as the weather was good and I had plenty of spare time, working as I am only now and then at the vets place. It feels like semi-retirement, not bad to be honest but I don't want to fall into the trap of walking, then hitting the two local pubs every single day, crivens, most of my mates seem to the other side of 70!

We'll see what the future brings, probably have a big decision about vets place to make this month, I have a lot of holiday and we'll see how many are granted in the last month of holiday year. I may have to resign to get holidays paid if it comes to it, also on my mind-do I really want the Xmas shifts from hell I got last year? Maybe time for a change.

As mentioned, I went a few walks, also went to Glasgow for 2 nights a week ago, got plenty of walking done, even through Possilpark looking for my grandmother's address before her marriage in 1930. The pubs were good, over 20K steps on the last day too. Also was in Edinburgh the other day, German doner kabab is the traditional breakfast, then onto the cinema to watch "Old" was OK, not bad. Also ate German in Glasgow by the way, jagerschnitzel, though wasn't really that good, the sauce was even under, not over, the schnitzel. 

Been great weather this month, been hanging out with Wishart a few times, Burntisland has been mobbed with people due to european holidays being impossible or risky. Hope I get to a German beer gargen soon though. 





Here are some photos from this month..yeah the positioning is crap, but you know my views of the blogger since the updates. The barman is from Bon Accord, a great pub in North Street, best whisky selection in the city.  The photo is of Killearn Street, where my grandmother was brought up, things have no doubt changed a wee bit since she left this exact spot 90 years ago.
