Couple of days holiday

Just back from a couple of days off work.  One day and then off again for the weekend.  Result.
While I was off, I went bouldering at the climbing wall, then me and K went to the art galleries to see the Glasgow Boys exhibition.  It was good, but I've got issues with the way they've laid out the exhibits since they've renovated the galleries.  It's harder (to me anyway) to find what you want to see.  There's more interactive exhibits for kids, which is good, but of the ones I saw, there were a few that were out of action.

Yesterday, I went for a bit of a wander round the West End, where I picked up a book of Holbine's sketches of Heanry VIII's court, for K, in the Oxfam on Byres Road.  I also found a Charles Laughton movie about Henry VIII for £3 in FOPP, so I picked that up for her as well.
Then I met K outside the Ashoka in Ashton Lane, and grabbed lunch.

Walking back into town, I went to see When You're Strange, a documentary about The Doors, at the GFT (highly recommend it), before meeting Simon for a pint after work, then heading home.

Nice semi-slobbish couple of days off.  Now one day of grind before vegging at the weekend.
