Good morning all.

It's a chilly Saturday morning - just 4C / 39F but it is due to get very warm later.

We are heading out to London today for a bit of culture. We are going to see the David Hockney exhibition at the Tate and have a spot of lunch.

Son came home for the weekend yesterday. We saw him for roughly 5 minutes between his arrival and him going out with his mates. :rolleyes: JoesDad says son rolled in at 4am, but I didn't hear him. :D Maybe we will see son this evening!


good morning mum, someone will need a fry up!

here it is illegal, usually a fine of around £40 i think
Ooh yes. I just googled. Local law to your area. It's been illegal in the Glasgow area since 1996 but is still legal in Edinburgh.

Local by-laws are tricky things!

I shall have to correct what I said to "it's legal in most places in the UK".

Let's just say that Glasgow had a reputation for a less good relationship with alcohol in the past which is probably what prompted the by law.

My house backs onto playing fields which have a bylaw prohibiting any alcohol consumption..

What a beautiful day here again. :)
Lola's had an hour out in the sun and seemed pretty relaxed about it all.
It was lovely to see him stretched out soaking up the uvb.
Who'd have thought watching a tortoise lying about doing nothing could bring so much pleasure?
Certainly not me until 3 years ago!
Hope you are all having a lovely sunny Saturday too.

Go Lola! I'm glad he was relaxed enough to enjoy some outdoors time :)
