September 2009Well that's our first day over with Another completion - it must be the weather OK, so I mentioned that the restaurant section was next on my little tragic hit list of things to do on the site, but once again I got sidetracked, and have trotted out a wee section on flatsharing in Glasgow. Basically, flatsharing is becoming a great deal more popular in the City these days, and given the regulation and quality now built into this type of accommodation, no longer can it be associated with the old 1970s style barking landlord and grubby student lodger. More and more people in Glasgow are saving money on rental by sharing with others, or by letting out spare rooms in their house to make some extra cash on the side, taking advantage of some tax savings while they're at it. So feel free to have a wee look, hit the sparerooms site I introduce you to, and see if it seems like something you'd be interested in.

The whole thing about running naked down Buchanan Street if I didn't get some sections of the site completed by the end of 2009?Well, it's September, and I've finally got round to finalising the section on getting around Glasgow, with the addition of the guide on the Glasgow sightseeing tours. Next stop therefore, the restaurant section, failing which get your cameras at the ready as I strip off in public (or some blankets, whatever would make you feel more comfortable about the whole situation...).

Must've been the Vodka  Last weekend saw the launch in Glasgow and elsewhere in the UK of the new Smirnoff Green Apple and Smirnoff Lime drinks, and to mark the occasion here, a fantastic replica of Glasgow's iconic landmark, the Armadillo, was unveiled just outside the Buchanan Galleries, measuring 8 metres long by 2.4 metres high.Apparently it took 4 men about 5 hours to sculpt what weighed in the end about 2.5 tonnes and contained 100 pieces of lime and apple. Unfortunately I missed the event but I've posted a photo and you can see more images of the Glasgow event and also the others around the UK by clicking the link here. Tracey's already earmarked a few bottles of the new flavours for her regular cocktail night, and I've no doubt I'll give them a try soon. Click for more info Give it up for Saint Mungo  Another page down on the attractions section in the site, this time about the Glasgow Cathedral, a building once declared as a place of pilgrimage only Rome could equal, and recognised widely as the high point in the construction of cathedrals in Europe.Have a read here about its place in the history of Glasgow.
