It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

There is a video loop on display at the Peoples Palace on Glasgow Green which has one of Stanley Baxter's Parliamo Glasgow sketches as well as Billy Connolly and others. We have a copy of the Parliamo paperback somewhere around, must dig it out for a laugh. Stanley is still going strong with his Playhouse on Radio 4.
One of my closest friends in Belgium is originally from Glasgow - born, bred and universitied. When she gets excited I can't understand a word. She's been known to speak to me in Flemish - when shopping in Leuven - and I've understood more.

Parliamo Glasgow had us in hysterics usually because I found out what my patients were really trying to say🤣

House is decorated,cards are written 😀. Even managed 30 minutes “gardening” - noticed that all the snowdrops I have in pots are pushing their noses through (feels very early 🤔), so did a spot of weeding in the borders where I have snowdrop clumps. They are emerging too.
Good morning all a sharp hoar frost under a pink dawn this morning ... beautiful. I had a look for snowdrop noses last week but found no sign ... I shall have another look ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning early birds/afties,evening Pat if you're there Freezy weezy here Hosta. A welcome relief to have a couple of dry days. It's looking crispy outside but it'll get whiter as it gets light. Lovely jubbly. chicky - I've had crocus poking through for a while in pots. They're always earlier than the snowdrops I have, but I don't think my s'drops are the 'usual' kind so they're a bit later. Indoor [and outdoor] decorating will be next weekend here. I think we should get you a flashing red nose for the festive season Hosta

Have a good week folks
Day off and I've been awake since 5.30! ( to be fair, I did go to bed at 9.00 last night )
Hopefully there may be a point where I can get into the garden today. It seems to have rained from the minute we got home on Wednesday.
