Happy Birthday June!

Done it again haven't I

This is extremely brave of me. I may have to watch my back for sometime as this young woman is fed up with me sticking her face on leaflets and the internet from the age of 2 upwards! It was her birthday yesterday and she invited us to it which was nice considering. A great time was had by all. My one regret is that the camera batteries died on us which meant we couldn't have the same immense fun we had the last time we went to the Golf Hotel. You see there's a speed camera on the way home from the hotel and if you get really drunk you can hang around it and take photos of cars as they pass. Keeps the streets a damn sight safer I say.

Further fun was had on the way home from work. Bloody demonstrators demonstrating on the George V bridge and generally causing traffic chaos and gridlock all because they want to save the planet from global warming. So I can't get the bus and have to walk. Not only do I have to walk but I have to take a bloody big detour. To make matters worse I get caught up in amongst a large line of foul smelling, long haired bedraggled hippy types with rainbow flags and black flags and drums and expensive looking cameras and I'm really beginning to think that this lot are just the sons and daughters of the middle classes taking their summer break from uni to have a good time and party before settling down to a life of comfort without a hint of the poverty that surrounded them when they set off from Glasgow's East End. Still I'm sure their hearts are in the right place and I'm only a bit bolshy because I was mildly inconvenienced at the end of a long hard (okay okay less of the exaggeration) day.
