Runrig - The Last Dance


The soundtrack to our university years contains a number of bands who are still playing these days.  Elton is about to get his last few concerts underway (and I dont have a ticket yet) 

So when we saw that Runrig were calling time I was scheduled to try to get tickets. 


I joined a facebook group, and had a little trial run booking tickets before the site opened. 

Then two days before the sale started, I saw a wee post on FB saying that someone had bought tickets.  I followed the link on my phone and found that the mobile site was open for business!




Boom!

2 tickets bought and 6 months of a slight worry that someone might spot the error and cancel the tickets.




We could have sold the tickets many times over, but I still wanted to hear the band and it was listed as their last gig.

And it was great!

Mackintosh - not McIntosh

Summer holidays - continued...

So we reach the last week - the dreaded single digit days before the start of term.  So in an effort to keep Mrs C's mind of the impending return to the golden hours of classrooms and assemblies, of saturday trips with the hockey team, etc etc, we headed off to see what we could of Chas - Chas McIntosh, currently doing the season in Kelvingrove.   Obviously there are no photos of this as I was very good and only took a couple.


We weren't over-fussed about the CRM exhibition, but I did like the heads who were hanging around.

And we hit the pizza jackpot afterwards:





For the first time IN MY LIFE I had to get a doggy bag.  Oh the shame!
