Home safe only to have the taxi driver here tell me there was a big fire in Glasgow today. It wasn't us honest, though we are hot stuff. Apparently it was the Hydro next to the Armadillo that went up.

 

[Northerner]

Glad to hear you got home safely Ally 🙂 I presume what you just said is Scottish, so I shouldn't understand it 😉

The Armadillo is the SECC in Glasgow. You can see why.

 

[Northerner]

Ah yes, I remember seeing that when I went for a walk along the Clyde 🙂

That's a cracking pic of it Allison. Funny though that the SECC is there too and now they're building the Hydro next to them. Seems to me they are all in a tiny wee space and there's so much unused land at Clydeside that they could have spaced them out a bit better.

I think they figure that if they keep it all together then they don't have to build too may new transport links, one lot will do the job for everything and keep the cost down.

Hmm never thought of that. Yes the Armadillo, SECC and Hydro are right at Exhibition Centre railway station so definitely no need for new transport links.

Had a great day and enjoyed meeting up with friends old and new. In some ways because there were only a few of us we talked together more, there was only one conversation at a time and there were very few, if any, silences. Big bonus, I understood most of what was being said!!! Yay!!

We passed 3 or 4 fire engines when we were talking back to Central Station but that must have been something else.

I had met Hazel and Carol before but now I know Alison and Donald too. Donald, there is another photo you have not uploaded!!!!

 

[AlisonM]

Donald, there is another photo you have not uploaded!!!!

If you mean the one where we were line dancing round the bar and I accidentally whacked that wee polis with one of my sticks. I paid Donald to 'lose' it. 😱

 

[MargB]

Oh, I had forgotten about that one. No it is the other one, you know the one I mean. 😉
