Ian : Just across the Clyde from our suburb is one of the ship building docks.


We think this one is the ship that we heard was sent from a shipyard on the other side of the UK to be finished off over here.


and on our side of the river - new expensive apartment blocks are going up ... as they look out at the shipyards across from them.


Dismayed at the banana led interest rate hikes we've been hearing about, I thought i'd let you know that they're only $2 a kilo here ! (and what have bananas got to do with our mortage anyway ??)

We've found a farmers market to replace the lovely Collingwood one we used to frequent.
Not nearly as lovely. No grassy river-side parkland setting.




Compared to Collingwood, not very many vegetable stalls, but heaps of dairy and meat produce.


However ! There is the Highland beef pie stall - which is just superb !
and the man in the blue t-shirt below can attest to this as well !

Oh ! and i went and signed myself up with an extras and talent agency - 'Real People' - They said me being an 'Aussie' (cringe) might be very usefull ... and NO ! I didn't bump into Ewan McGregor there. Even though he's on their website ! But I am convinced I saw Robert Carlisle down the road yesterday ! you know - Hamish MacBeth, Begby in Trainspotting...
