Home Again But It Was A Good Trip

by Mark on Thursday, 17th November, 2011 at 3:40 pm

Finally getting a few days at home after an extended stay in Glasgow. Lucy had a longer stay in hospital. So it’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve been doon hame. Not that a couple of weeks in Glasgow has been a bad thing. In between treatments, we’ve been out on the town, enjoying the restaurants and entertainments.

Restaurant recommendations are many. Eastern food abounds but we’ve adopted Yo Sushi in Silverburn, for a fast and enjoyable eating experience, and Wudon on Great Western Road for a more relaxed meal. Both cater to the gluten challenged. Just ask. Italian is also a big feature in our diet and we especially like DiMaggio’s just up from the Royal Concert Hall, handy for disabled parking and gluten free pasta, and Little Italy in Byres Road, home of gluten free pizza.
The world’s tallest multiplex cinema, CineWorld off Sauchiehall Street, hosted us on a number of occasions. We can heartily recommend Crazy Stupid Love (hilarious), Ides Of March (gripping) and The Three Musketeers (beautiful in amazing 3d).
Add to this he fantastic Kelvingrove Museum and other cultural delights and we kept ourselves entertained. But it is good to be home.

Happy Hallowe’en

by Mark on Saturday, 29th October, 2011 at 3:37 pm

The skies have turned greyer and the daylight darkens. Winter must be on the way and Hallowe’en ushers in Summer’s end. Now the rain falls and the wind howls. Hope it’s not as wild as this on Monday night and the local kids will get to go guising.
I’m not sure whether we’ll all be home on Monday. Lucy might be home or in hospital but is planning an evening with some fun scary favourites: Ghostbusters, The Addams Family, maybe the Creature From The Black Lagoon. I hope to have cleared my cold to share that with her and that she’s back home to share with Ann and Simon. We’ll manage some combination of family fun, maybe virtually.
So, here’s a Hallowe’en pumpkin head to share on the night. Have a fun time.

A Wee Update

by Mark on Tuesday, 4th October, 2011 at 10:38 am

I’m back in Glasgow, supporting my daughter through some more treatment. Wonderful staff here who are very helpful. Updates and comics on the site here will be a little less often but there should be a new ‘Meanwhile’ before the end of the month.
Until then, please post your comments on the comics. Let me know what you like. I’ll check in when I can.
