Saturday evening. A man phones up and says ' I see from our records that you're retired. Would you like someone to pick you up and take you to the voting booth on Thursday morning ?' He speaks slowly and clearly in case I have difficulty understanding what he's saying. I inform him that we're perfectly capable of making our own way there.
On our morning walk we pass a gift shop. There's a sale on . Someone has bought way too many Scottish soccer outfits. With Scotland the first to be knocked out of the tournament this has proved to be a mistake.
Town, as you can perhaps tell, is quiet .

My sister is one of the many kayakers who make use of the canals. I like to walk beside them. YAM xx
I too can recommend the Forth Clyde Canal route. I cycled the tow path a few years ago. Interesting and attractive - even the bits through the outskirts of Glasgow!
Cheers, Gail.
Everything seems to have outsold Pepsi - a sign that people there have good taste.
Love the addition of the bunnett and sunglasses to the mechanical cobbler. Angus and the shoe repair shop continue to entertain with refreshing sense of humor. (A fan in the US)
I enjoyed reading abut the canals. Less so the exploding ants.
