Do you ever have a couple of weeks, where you have nothing to do and then after they're done, you think wow those boring weeks, werent so boring and went in very quickly? Thats what the past few weeks have been like for me!

There was Angela's 21st in Dundee (photo on left!), Steven and Nicola's wedding (photo on Right!) and my mum and dad's 25th Wedding anniversary (photo in the middle, altho it was taken at S n N's wedding, but it was nicer than the ones that we have of their anniversary, plus i wore the same outfit anyway! lol!) (ok so the photo wont work! so look in the post above this one!!! *************)

Last week i decided that i would go and have a proper look round Kelvingrove Art Gallery. I've been once since its been re-opened but there's only so much you can see with a brother in a wheelchair and an 86 year old grandmother with a stick! So i get to the galleries, and its very busy and there were police about, i parked over at the Transport museum and headed over to Kelvingrove. I was going to walk along the front of the galleries, but 2 policemen told me i couldnt! I asked if i could get inside, afterall i only wanted to see the paintings! The policeman then turned and said 'oh if you want to see the Queen you'll need to go round the back'. The Queen, yes Queen Elizabeth the second, was visiting the gallery and therefore it was closed to the public. Having nothing to do, i wandered round the back and joined the other 200 people that were there, and out walks the Queen! It was a really weird experience, i wasnt expecting to see the queen, but there she was with Prince Philip, only about 10 feet away from me! The only bad thing was that i had forgotten to take my camera with me! But im almost certain you could see my little head bobbing up and down in the crowd, when there was film footage of the Queen unveiling the little plaque thingy, on the news!

I really like this time of year! Glasgow is beginning to get busy again! There's students everywhere, and all 1500 students that have moved into halls at Strathclyde University now have their can of free 'Christian Beans!' A group of 10 to 15 of the Christian Union handed out the beans on Saturday as the students were moving in! The beans have labels detailing the CU events this week and have become infamous to halls students over the past few years!

Today, Monday, we had the first of our free lunches. Not many people came, so we headed out to the streets armed with trays of sandwiches and leaflets! I love just going about chatting to people and inviting them along to things! it was a good laugh! I even got to play a few games of pool this afternoon, normality is beginning to creep back in!

Im off to have some soup before going out again! hope ur good and settling into normality again!
