More Summer Nights at the Bandstand

Friday evening found us back at the Kelvingrove Bandstand for another concert - this time OMD. It’s such a good venue, I much prefer small places like this, and the Friday night audience was even more lively than the one on Monday. I got there early to bag our seats because James had been in London for the day, and his flight back to Glasgow was running late. He took a taxi straight from the airport to Kelvin Way and I nipped up to the gate to give him the car keys. He then followed my directions to  where the car was parked, and got changed (like Superman!) in the car, where I had left his bag of clothes for the concert. All very convoluted but it worked. The concert was really great and the whole audience danced and sang throughout; I thought that it was just as good as the Pretenders whereas James thought it was even better, which provoked much debate on our way home.
David came home on Saturday to help James put everything back into the garage, now that it has its new roof. (I have made hundreds of cups of coffee for the workmen this week!) He was extremely helpful and as a reward we took him out for a delicious curry in Dakhin and then we went to the cinema to see the ridiculous but entertaining “Ant Man and the Wasp” which we all enjoyed. Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas were both very good.
As a result we were late home and didn’t get to bed until 1 a.m. This shouldn’t have mattered because we had no firm plans for Sunday morning so should have been able to have a leisurely start to the day. However, at 6.45 a.m. the phone rang ....
To be continued.
