2011 Project365 (day196)

Not working on Fridays anyway, and HD having a long weekend thanks to the Glasgow Fair (local holiday), we headed off to Stirling today for adventures. We did a fair bit of walking round the town (my legs ache now!) and stupidly, although I took my camera I neglected to take my memory card (doh). I took this picture with HD's phone - it is from the wildlife garden at the back of the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum, a cracking little museum which I really liked. The main museum collection is all in one room, it's pretty eclectic with everything from Roman artefacts to a flag from the local mine dating from the 1984/85 miners' strike. It really gave a sense of how much history has both passed through and converged on Stirling. When we got back I found myself dealing with a succession of numpties - one of my credit card companies has cocked up a payment, then the bank couldn't seem to sort it out, also the delivery office has returned a parcel to sender despite only giving us the card a couple of days ago (they're supposed to keep the parcel 2 weeks before returning it), and their helpline and website "customer services" (quotation marks deliberate) were both woeful. However, I have now eaten 3 walnut whips, so whilst I am still cross at least I have a nice sugar buzz.
