There was supposed to be a storm today, but it has not arrived in Glasgow as of 10 p.m. However reports have reached us from friends in East Kilbride that say it has been “lashing with rain” there. It is very humid and clammy, and it was so hot at school that sweat was trickling down my back even though I had all three of my classroom windows open wide. I arrived in town at about 3 p.m. and parked in Albion Street with the thought that we might eat in Merchant City later. There was one rumble of thunder and a few spots of rain but nothing more. I did a bit of shopping (new sandals) and then walked up to the GFT to meet James - oh boy it was hot! The streets were full of people and just about every pub and café had put tables outside, adding to the summery feel.
We went to see “2001: A Space Odyssey” which is one of James’ favourite films. I had forgotten how good it is, and I enjoyed it very much. When we came out of the cinema it was still very warm and we strolled back down the hill amidst the Friday evening revellers and had an absolutely delicious South Indian curry at Dakhin.
