Ximeria's Journal

On the Sunday, we had talked Cats into joining us for a trip to Glasgow. We left from Dunfermline, she from Edinburgh and met up at around 11 in Glasgow. Then we went on a bumpy ride with the subway (jeez, I miss the Copenhagen metro - with its nice and smoothe glide).

Then a short walk from Kelvinhall station to Kelvingrove park and the museum. It's a nice museum, but there's a lot of stuff crammed into a very small place - of course that's really half the fun *g*. There was also an incredible amount of toilets!

Right, so on to the pictures - and go ahead and view the full set of 70+ pictures on Flickr, because there's a lot more than I'll submit you guys to in a single LJ post *g*


Kelvingrove Art & Gallery - just as it was starting on a light drizzle!

So all around a good day - and I'd say that the museum is well worth visiting.

aka. our planned trip to Stirling Castle went south, all thanks to the bloody queen *rolls eyes*


This picture sums up the day rather nicely XD

( A day full of obstacles )

PS we're going to Glasgow on Sunday with Cats, and I'll be mightily annoyed if things are shut down because of the queen LOL

So, yesterday, after having a nice slow morning with Kabal, he walked me to the Metro and I went out to the airport. Nice and easy - Metro sure makes it a heck of a lot easier than getting a bus.

Got picked up by Nicci and hubby @ the usual spot and then we headed home for a nice and quiet evening. Well, quiet, we went shopping fairly late in the evening *g*

Anywho, as the weather forecast was pretty brilliant for Tuesday, we planned to head off to Edinburgh Zoo.

That nearly killed us LOL - hours upon hours of walking, taking photos, up and down that damned hill the zoo is on LOL

So, without too much chitter-chatter - I have photos for you:


Asiatic Lions (or in this case, lionesses)

( photos galore )

1. So, congrats to New York

2. The world's a sadder place for having lost Peter Falk (Columbo)

3. I may have had random bouts of homicidal urges through the week - dampened, I believe, only by the mutated cold from hell. (Hey, I didn't kill anyone! I consider that a plus)

4. Had a thai massage today - feel completely knackered now

5. Laundry done - time to do some serious packing!

6. Unearthed the ticket to Copenhagen tomorrow - going to visit with kabal42 until I'm initiating the Danish Invasion of Scotland on Monday (flying out at 1PM). I'm hoping to swing by blnchflr on the way home on the 15th of july - there was talk of going out to the sea to bathe ^_^

7. Gonna be at Chez Mc for almost three weeks - there's gardening in my future, I know. And possibly getting peed on by the gunea pigs XD - cooking, dishes - stuff I'm not fond of at home, but don't mind doing when I'm out *g*


\O/

re. #3 We've had so much to do with the IT side of life (apart from my usual stuff) that with the cold that hit me on Monday, it's been killing me getting through the week. So far let's just say it's a good thing I didn't actually have the energy to kill anyone XD - no one in particular - just a random act of maiming.

and a bit of mutual appreciation never went awry *g* Face to Face: James McAvoy & Michael Fassbender

And some McAvoy/Fassbender fun as well *g* - thanks to sol_se for sharing that one.

Brain is not functioning well enough to do a post on what we've actuallly been doing since we arrived in Taynuilt yesterday - however, I just HAD to share the latest Scandinavia and the world comic strip XD

About Iceland's Penis Museum getting a new ...piece to showcase...
