Having A Nice Lie Down

If you are ever cold-called by someone trying to sell you something, remember and copy the following from the very clever Robert Popper:

Alternatively, you could aways try, "Would you like to know Jesus?".

Any Questions?

"Any Questions?" is a new format service we are trying out tonight. Questions have been sent in by people on the subject of "God". I'll try and answer them plus we'll have texted questions for a small panel of experts. If it works, the plan is to run a whole series of these over the next year.

A Grand Day Off

In some great company, I cycled to Loch Lomond yesterday morning. It's a lovely ride, with a few main roads to cross and short on-road section through Dumbarton. On the return, by the time we reached Dumbarton, I was very saddle sore, and opted to catch the train back to Scotstounhill. I remain a wee bit tender following such exertions.

In the evening, I had a dinner date with a beautiful young woman, who will remain nameless for fear of embarrassing her (she is family, in case you are worried!). I had a voucher to use which had been given in February - I just hadn't got round to using it. We dined at Two Fat Ladies West End. Not being in a fish-frame-of-mind, I opted for the estate of Mey fillet steak with hasselback potatoes and a red wine jus and my date went for the roast breast of chicken with tomato and chorizo. Both dishes were beautifully presented, the meat was tender and tasty and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. We loved the antique china dinnerware and individual cutlery (all sourced on Ebay, according to our waitress, Katy). For dessert, we couldn't decide, so ended up having a bit of everything (Two Fats Grand Dessert), which we simply could not finish. Our favourite was the Bramble Cheesecake, which we did manage to eat.

All-in-all, it was a grand day off.
