Mono

And, now, our first visit to Mono. I was only told about the place yesterday, a veggie bar-cafe-music shop. 

We’re not hungry, but the menu is impressive. They even stock Sam Smith’s beer too. 

West

Glaswegian German beer. This is my third visit to West, a great bar/brewhouse just off Glasgow Green. 

We’re having Munich Red.

Saramago

Last time I was in Glasgow, There was a bar-cafe that I really wanted to try. It’s just off Sauchiehall Street, near the ABC. Saramago. 

I was with old gentlemen, so didn’t get to visit; it’s a vegan place and they don’t get such things. 

I’m here now though. And it’s truly great (although expensive). 

A bar of note

My second in command and I are presently enjoying a nice cold Staropramen in the 13th Note, my most favourite bar ever. 

Not only is beer labelled as to its suitability for vegans, the whole (gorgeous) menu is vegetarion/vegan. 

If you’re ever in Glasgow, have a wander down King Street.

Plastic Letters

… was the name of a Blondie album. In my opinion, their best. Today, though, I bought some cardboard letters.

Yes, the Z is the wrong way round, but I’d taken the picture before noticing. Rest assured, it’s now correctly oriented.

After buying half of the contents of Hobbycraft, we caught a bus to town. Before returning home, we called off at the Bridge Hotel, where I found two Atom beers on draught. 

Only staying for one, this was a difficult decision. Light or dark?

Or a half pint of both. 

And both were very nice. We may also have had a game of skittles in the Split Chimp while in town. 

Regrettably, I was defeated by my second in command. But only because she cheated.

I’m sure there was a ‘1’ prefix missing from my first score. 

My friend Jake

My second in command sometimes starts/finishes work late, when there’s a function in the hotel. It’s only once a week for her at most. 

I thought I’d meet her from work so I walked down the hill to town. I’m now waiting in the Bridge Hotel. With a delicious pint of Jakehead. Might be a mistake. 

Excellent value, though, at only £5.20 a pint.
