jewellery making session, using reclaimed materials.\u00a0 Led by <a href=\"https:\/\/stefaniecheong.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stefanie Cheong<\/a>,\u00a0 we spent a hugely enjoyable day learning how to choose, shape, solder and fashion our own silver rings.\u00a0 The day passed very quickly as we were fully involved in the creative process aided by copious cups of Earl Grey, and a lunch provided by Diana.\u00a0 There may also have been cake. \u00a0 I was genuinely intrigued to see the end products, especially as I have a rep for being fairly maladroit in these situations.\u00a0 My chums have a bit more flair!\u00a0 I&#8217;m delighted with mine, every aspect of it was of my choosing.<\/p>\n<p>Once I receive a picture of me I will add one in!<\/p>\n<p>Paul and I had been to Glasgow on Saturday, to see Still Game at the Hydro.\u00a0\u00a0 We stopped off at the Riverside Museum first, and enjoyed a look round the exhibits, which spark off so many memories. \u00a0 We were there the weekend it opened., back in 2011.\u00a0 I posted pictures about it then and noted that everyone who passed the horse drawn hearse was clapping* the (fake) horses&#8217; heads.\u00a0 Happy to report that the noses of these fine beasts are just about threadbare by now, seems the folk memory of cuddies in the streets runs deep.<\/p>\n<p>*&#8221;clapping&#8221; is Scottish for showing tactile appreciation of an animal. \u00a0\u00a0 &#8220;Can Ah clap yir dug, mister?&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4260\"
