And so the great weather continues. Today I had lunch with Ally W sitting outside Prêt in Sauchiehall Street. It was like being in Paris! It made me wonder how constant good weather might change the nature of Glasgow - and the people who live there. Everyone certainly seems very willing to get outside when they have the chance. How would we plan our lives differently with guaranteed sunshine?
We then went to “Symphony, Soup and a Sandwich” at the Royal Concert Hall, in the New Auditorium. This hour long lunch time concert was extremely well attended and very enjoyable. Today’s programme consisted of Peter Oundjian conducting the RSNO to play Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto (brilliant, I’m still humming it now!) and then Mozart’s lovely Sinfonia Concertante. If you worked nearby you could just about go to the concert in your lunch hour, which would be fun. It was very relaxing, letting my mind float freely with the beautiful music.
Later, after a wee bit of shopping, I sat outside again, this time at a table outside Ask Italian in Renfrew Street where I enjoyed a leisurely coffee, and then picked up James by car from outside his office. We had another barbecue when we got home. James tells me it was our third one of the year so far. Let’s hope that we get the chance to have a few more.
