Time goes

Everything seems to go at such a pace at the moment that I don't seem to have the time or perhaps inclination, to sit at the computer and write on the blog.This past week I attended my biannual committee meeting in Glasgow. I arrived early courtesy of Easy Jet and had some time to spare so I decided to wander around the old cathedral right beside the hospital Glasgow Scotland - Cathedral Precinct


In the grounds amongst many ancient gravestones I found the tomb of Dr Peter Low who founded the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons at Glasgow Infirmary

I liked the inscription!
On Saturday Heather and I had the weekend to ourselves -went for a walk in the sun at Whitehead.

The times they are a changing

Wednesday like many other days dawned dull and wet. Summer, for the second year in a row, appears to have occurred in April and May and ever since then we have been on a slow ride to autumn. There was a distinct chill in the air on wednesday as I left to leave my daughter to school and the leaves on the trees have long ago lost that bright green hue and have started to turn russet and fall. I made my way into Belfast and into the centre, a cold and wet tramp, with an injured leg that didn't help. It was in one of the major retail chains that it happened!
I spied my first christmas tree, admittedly a small decoration, but in a sea of other christmas paraphernalia. I couldn't believe it, that on the 3rd of September, just two days after the schools went back christmas material was out.

Surely this is too far, we don't need christmas in September-I think we should adopt the american style and not commence christmas celebrations until the first of December
