Ok, so maybe we’re now in the 13th Note rather than on a train. The second pint of stout in Mono persuaded me that I needed a falafel burger. And a pint of West’s St Mungo.
MacSorley’s next I think. Then perhaps a train.

The end
The end of Augustines. At least for my second and command and I. There’s a gig in Belfast, then a final one in Liverpool, but we’ll not be there. It’s quite an emotional time for my second in command; she’s been addicted to their music for some time now.
And, so, we’re seeing them this very evening in Glasgow, my favourite city.
We’re currently in the 13th Note, which happens to be my favourite bar. A bar that serves the most delicious falafel burgers.
My second in command lost her (most expensive ever) Brewdog hat this afternion. In the Horseshoe Bar, she believed. But it’s not there.
It’s possibly a day for lost things; Augustines, my second in command’s Brewdog hat and, technically not lost today, but purchased across the road to this very bar a few weeks ago, before being mislaid the next day, sheriff’s badge.
One of the above has now been replaced.
The Schooner
The Schooner is a very nice pub. Currently playing a bit of Ska.
Although I’m only here because of a breakdown in communications between myself and my second in command.
I planned to meet her from work, and communicated my intentions, but for some unknown reason, she left me waiting in the Split Chimp while she went home.
So I left to go home too, only to find that my second in command had set off (an hour late) to meet me.
Anyway, I’ve had a nice walk; a walk I’d not done in ages. Through a cool, but newly defaced (I took no pictures of such things) cemetary.
There would be other pictures, but I have a rubbish signal and can’t be bothered to look for the wifi code.
I’m assuming that the railings were removed and melted down during WWII, but I bet the place looked great a hundred years ago.
Running
We wandered down the hill this morning to watch people running.
It was all a bit tiring, so we found somewhere to have a sit down. The roof terrace in the Central.
Then, obeying the instructions on my beer glass, we had a walk along the quayside.
We’re now in the Tyne Bar, then to the Ship for some lunch.
Addendum: Since the sun is shining, we’ve decided on another beer in the Tyne Bar.
Sloans
After a call to the SPCA (a man was killing pigeons in Argyle Street), we returned to Sloans.
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.
Sloans
Sloans, a visit is compulsory.
Macsorleys
The name has no apostrophe. But a gorgeous bar though, pretty high on my list of preferred establishments.
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).
