There was a trip to theatre to see Adam Kay’s live show reading excerpts from his book ‘This is Going to Hurt’ – very funny and was worth braving (one of the many) storms to go see him. Also some live sounds at the Field Music gig in Kelvingrove Art Gallery – loved the concept of their new album Making a New World, go give them a listen …
We ate at the Partick Duck Club in Glasgow’s West End, one of the friendliest places I’ve ever eaten in with a full vegan menu to boot for the other half – the infamous chips were to die for. Also took a drive up to Glen Etive (hence the Skyfall film!) and had lunch at the Kingshouse Hotel – beautiful views and again a very friendly welcome from both the staff and the deer!
I ran a total of zero miles, which I am totally putting down to storms, hail, and all the feels to bunker down to stay out of the torrential rain! Hoping March will be an improvement on the mileage front – watch this space ….
I shopped local at Colab Store in Partick where we picked up our new Mustard cabinet in a gorgeous navy colour and is now sitting proudly in our hallway and keeping clutter nicely tucked away. I shopped my wardrobe again for the whole of February, and my Brick Cords by Sideline were once again the most worn item – well worth the investment!
Well there it is, February in a nutshell, next time I write my ‘7th of’ it’ll be officially Spring and we’ll be a quarter of the way through the year, now there’s a thought …
