Glasgow

Friday 1st July 2010

So yesterday I flew up to Glasgow for a six show week. The weather started off nice, which gave me that incredibly annoying feeling that I had forgotten something. You know the one I mean when your flying somewhere and getting up at 5am! Well it turns out I had, I had forgotten my sunglasses. Now my sunglasses are actually an expensive pair of Adidas Polarized sports glasses. For those of you that don't know, that basically means that are pretty shit hot at keeping your eyes nice and glare free during those sunny moments. I do love those glasses. There wasn't much I could do, being in a foreign country and all, so I decide to attack the nearest Primark (I hate to name drop). After a rummage around the almost car boot style store, I find a nice (well as nice as they can be) pair of Aviators. Also a snip at two pounds. That's two drop off/pick ups at "London" Luton airport...
I stroll outside into the Glasgow summer and the sun has remembered this is Scotland and therefore buggered off to a more tropical climate, with his hat in tow. I clearly made a completely school boy error in judgement. People of Glasgow don't ever buy sunglasses unless they are going on holiday and there's a very good reason. The sun isn't a fan of haggis. He prefers tapas and nachos to red heads. In the immortal words of Annie the orphan "The sun'll come out, tomorrow", this is has never been the case for Scotland. Despite Annie being a red head, she is certainly not from Scottish heritage. And if Annie was, the last thing she would be singing about is sun.

Off to Avenue Q at the Kings Theatre, Glasgow later. I do love that show and am very much looking forward to it. Always nice to see other things once in a while and especially an easy watching musical comedy starring puppets. Thank you very much Mr Gareth Akehurst for the tickets.
