Damn volcano!

Another year, another Icelandic volcano erupts and disrupts flights!

Last year this didn't affect me but this time I'm flying up to Glasgow each week during my secondment (yes, the company I work for is mad enough to fly me up/down. And put me up in a decent hotel during the week). Currently many of the flights to Glasgow are cancelled. The Grimsvotn ash cloud may mean that instead of flying back later in the week, I'll be driving back home to just south of Manchester (not a huge distance, I know).

Thankfully the Met Office's current prediction is for the ash cloud to thin out from tomorrow. So, fingers crossed...

More Glasgow

Another week, a different hotel in Glasgow. Here was the view out of my (grimy) window...

The fly-over to the M8 is visible to the left and the tall Hilton hotel is on the right. 'Nice' view, eh? And here's some more of Glasgow's architecture...

At the top is Glasgow's City Chambers and at the bottom is the Gallery of Modern Art. It was very cloudy when I took these so they look a bit dull.

Glasgow

...or at least a little part of it with some modern architecture.

Things are quiet 'round these parts...

For the forseeable future, I suspect we'll be seeing a lot of tumbleweed 'round these 'ere parts and not so many posts. I've just started a secondment up in Glasgow for at least 3 months (probably 6) and, due to travelling and stuff, won't have as much time to waste spend on this blog. :(
