The park by me has a weird pattern of dandelion growth just now, and I've only just clocked that it maps out the lines of the former football pitch that was there yonks ago, which I find rather cool.  I presume the stuff they use to paint the lines must enrichen the soil or something.

I love Glasgow. Just saw a man walking down the road with a TV under one arm, walking a mini pomeranian with the other hand. Superb.

You can't turn that down.

I'm going to an Indian tomorrow with my two brothers, my brother and sister and law, two nephews and possibly my old man (he's away and getting back at some time tomorrow but unsure when).

I was thinking about it earlier and for a brief second was worried thst if my dad couldn't make it there wouldn't be any adults there and they might turn us away.

Including myself there will be five adults there, six if the old man makes it. Only when stopping to think about it did I realise what pish my mind was coming up with.

I don't think it speaks well of my psyche that I often don't consider myself an adult before realising that I actually am, as this is far from a solitary incident in terms of this thinking.

Now I'm 61, I'm willing to acknowledge I'm an adult but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. I never asked to be an adult, it isn't something I'm good at and frankly, I can think of better things to do with my time.

I bought two rolls from the bakery late on yesterday and later found that they felt a bit hard for my liking, as if the wifey there had bagged the top ones from a basket that had been sitting out all day.

Fast forward: I check the same rolls this morning, which have just sat in the tied poly bag overnight, and they're now soft and absolutely perfect for my liking. What the hell is going on here?

Apparently you don't think of your brother as an adult either, so I wouldn't be too hard on yourself about your personal self-image.

It is interesting that anyone your age or younger has stayed a child in your head. Some people have the opposite problem - my great-uncle ripped into his son once because he offered me a cigarette after seeing me again. I was 12.

Condensation building up overnight from the rolls' breath, which softened their tasty flesh.

I've noticed lately that the morning rolls I buy taste much better if frozen, then defrosted in the microwave. They're a lot softer too.

I get thoughts like t his all the time. Ranging from similar to what you have described, to having to remind myself when buying beer/wine at the shop that im an adult and its not some sort of crazy risk, to having one cos I fancy it and reminding myself that thats ok too and 100% my decision

Celtic pub next door currently blasting out Roll With It with mass accompaniment. I think I found the IRA songs earlier less offensive.

I am in Turkey just now. Was in same hotel 2 years ago. Was mainly British folks then. Now full of Russian loudmouth p***ks!

Hotels predominantly occupied by Brits are to be avoided in my experience.

Does not compute.

In peace 🤝

If you get a chance please watch the Saturday Five which is on at 18.00. 

It has a good mixture of presenters with different political views. They discuss various topics that are relevent to what is happening in the news at the time.

It is one of the better shows on the channel that viewers with different views are catered for. 

Last nights show was excellent. 

Not looking for an arguement or abuse. As I say peace 🤝
