A very pleasant week at home

Back home from Ireland we were happy to be reunited with the cats, and have had a pleasant and fairly social week. The weather has continued to be hot and sunny, so we have spent plenty of time outdoors in the garden. We went to the Banksy exhibition at Glasgow MOMA, which was very interesting; the explanations at the exhibits were funny and self-deprecating, however the elusive Banksy is clearly a very quirky, imaginative and talented person. 
We went to see Peter Gabriel at the Hydro with Gordon and were absolutely thrilled to be upgraded to the “Hydro Club” where we were in a booth with a great view of the stage. More importantly it had its own toilets and bar with NO queues at all! It was bliss. Peter Gabriel was fantastic; his voice is still very good and he performed a mixture of old and new songs. I loved Solsbury Hill, it’s so joyful. 
I had a coffee with Jackie’s Mum. It was difficult to see her without Jackie there, but good to be able to talk about Jackie. My heart goes out to her and the whole family. 
I had brunch with Sharon at Vin18 and it was totally lovely to catch up with her. And we had lunch with Janet and Peter in a splendid restaurant in South Queensferry; the food was great and so were the views of the three bridges over the Forth. It was good to spend time with Janet and Peter, of whom we are very fond.
