When did we arrive home? About 8:30 on Monday night, about 18 hours after waking up in Glasgow.
Where have I been? In the past week, Glasgow in Scotland, Keflavik Iceland, the phone store, the grocery store.
What about the phone? The screen on my phone went black, with occasional flashes of gold, about an hour after we boarded the ship a month ago. In 20+ years of smartphones (starting with Blackberry,) it is the first one I have had fail. I was an easy sale in the phone store, I am an Android user, and not terribly demanding. New phone is a Google Pixel 9 Pro. It was a good value, and ready to go.
What have I been eating? Haggis, I know the description of how it was originally made is gruesome, the modern version is kind of like sausage filling, with grain - oats - added for texture. The spice mix is primarily salt and pepper. It is not horrible. Would I go out of my way for it, not really. I would gladly eat it to please the locals that I was willing to participate in their quaint local customs. Don't fear the haggis.
What is to come? I downloaded 4,247 new photos from the four week trip. That will keep me posting for a while.
What am I reading? Nothing for the last 2 weeks. So much going on, and sufficiently escaped from the day to day, that I took a break from reading.

Interesting of course, but I did have a laugh at the last photo.
ReplyDeleteI find doors interesting, this one is short, only about 5 feet tal, then the sign just made it all the better.
DeleteYes, A truly fine door. 😊
DeleteI love that last photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, a fun place to wander the back streets.
DeletePull then push? Did you try it?
ReplyDeleteNope, but knew the photo would come in handy for something.
DeletePull then push is what I tell my men.
ReplyDeleteI'd love Glasgow.
Great minds think alike
DeletePull then push is how I get through life.
ReplyDeleteThat street scene in Glasgow; Oy those buildings are beautiful.
The city is packed with carved stone buildings.
DeleteLooking forward to the photos of your travels!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of Tuesday posts ready to show
DeleteOh, I meant to share a quote I got from another blog a long time ago that goes with your photo up above the clouds:
Delete"However thick the clouds, the sky above them is always clear!"
Always reminds me not to give up hope!
36,000 feet. I flew over a thunderstorm at night one time, looking down on the lightening.
DeleteDid you kill the haggis yourself? Many Americans visit Scotland just for the golf and the haggis shooting.
ReplyDeleteNo, I have never shot anything that was alive. It has been 50 years since I played golf.
DeleteThat's a lot of photos to work your way through. That will keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteAnd inspired.
