Yesterday I was in town for the Glasgow ship meet - at Ad Lib diner in Hope Street. It was great to meet familiar and new people, we had a good crowd altogether, and my food at any rate was excellent (despite all the sneering about nobody else possibly wanting a potato and chickpea burger). I took a few photos.
I left early with my beautiful assistant, before pudding (which I gather took another nearly an hour to arrive, so it's just as well we left when we did), and headed into town to look at dresses :D Thanks to the recommendations on my previous dress post I started off at Monsoon, but sadly nothing there did it for me (well the 70% off sale prices did, but unfortunately not the dresses, which didn't look awful but just weren't what I was looking for for various reasons). We then went to a proper scary dress shop, and I have to say I had a ball, although to start with I was really nervous and didn't feel like I had any clue at all. But then I tried a couple of dresses which, although they weren't quite right, had *something* which made me feel like I could actually look good in a wedding dress, and then I tried one on which made me feel amazing. So I'll probably go for that, I'm going to try it on again later in the week as I didn't want to commit myself straight away in case I came away and felt like I had rushed into things. But every time I think about it I get this big goofy grin, so unless something thoroughly disastrous happens it looks like I've found my dress. Hooray! :)
In the evening I went back to beautiful assitant's place, and we watched "March of the Penguins". What a gorgeous film - though the narration is very heavy on the cheese factor. Those penguins are amazing, and the scenery, though often brutal, was stunning. Worth a look-see.
