Yesterday, after years of wishing to, I finally took the Glasgow Central Tour and it was really brilliant - the best £13 I have spent in many a long day.  I certainly gave me lots to consider - social history, industrial archeology, hiddenness, revelation and muchmore.

This post is really a bit of an advert - if you are in Glasgow, have legs that can walk for an hour or so (alas it's unsuitable for anyone who isn't mobile) it's well worth it.

Also good when the only person able to recite the motto 'nemo me impune lacessit' in Scots is me!!

As part of my last major declutter, I discarded my 'banner making' books, thinking I no longer had use of them.

Recently, I regtretted that, thinking they had ideas I might wish to adapt for current use.

For various reasons, the boxes of books from the last cull have sat undistrubed in my kitchen for a few months - and yesterday I realised that there was a chance the books were still there - and in the very first box, there they were.

Well, it made me smile and express a little 'hmmm'
