So they arrived in Glasgow on Friday just as we arrived home from Ullapool and we all had a convivial evening, then on Saturday they went to the first match with Ally and James. Meanwhile I was in Ardrossan having lunch with Helen and Libby, which was lovely. The only problem with the game at Ibrox had been the lack of tickets for sale; they had already nearly all been snapped up by season ticket holders and the few that appeared for sale were singles, nowhere near each other. In desperation I phoned Ibrox and was told that there would be more tickets released on Friday, which seemed strangely close to the match day, however sure enough at about 10.30 on Friday morning there appeared quite a few tickets, and this time a few of them in adjoining seats. I quickly bagged four (two plus two in separate areas) and after a short drama with trying to log in to the website, I managed to secure them. Davie phoned at that very moment to say that he and Chanel would be coming to Glasgow even if they couldn’t go to the football game and he was absolutely delighted when I announced that I had got tickets. They all enjoyed the game with Rangers leading 1 - 0 until the 90th minute when Hearts equalised which was very disappointing! In the evening we had a very pleasant dinner at Ibrox overlooking the pitch and the waitress brought out Davie’s birthday cake and we all sang Happy Birthday.
Today Davie and Chanel left bright and early to go to their Everton match which started at 2 p.m. in Liverpool, with Chanel’s Dad and brothers. Sadly Everton lost 1 - 0 but they all looked very happy in the photo that Chanel’s Dad sent me of them having another birthday meal in Liverpool! What a great birthday weekend Davie has had!
