Free First Friday Last day in Glasgow, and spending most of it just outside of it: a visit to Holmwood House, and on the opposite side of town to Two Towns Down Brewery in Paisley, both by First buses, for free! The evening was spent in another of my favourite bars, Inn Deep. #GlasgowTrip2026 […]

Take it Easy Thursday Nothing booked today, just a couple of scenic walks in the West End, an organ recital, and a Barbie exhibition. To end the day, I spent a couple of hours in the Koelschip Yard. @thisismyglasgow #GlasgowTrip2026 #Glasgow #Scotland #CraftBeer #coffee #museum […]

More Mackintosh Today I managed to check off the last of the publicly accessible buildings by Charles Rennie Mackintosh: the Mackintosh at the Willows tearoom, and the Queen's Cross Church. It was also my last Scottish hash this week, actually IN Edinburgh this time. #GlasgowTrip2026 #Glasgow […]

Science & Myths in Falkirk After a day in Glasgow, it was time to head out again in undiscovered country! Today, that was Falkirk. Wonders of engineering and artful evocations of ancient myths awaited me: the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies. #GlasgowTrip2026 #Glasgow #Scotland #CraftBeer #coffee […]

Scottish Borders So yes, somehow I ended up running through the Scottish Borders today. The Edinburgh H3 tends to hash a bit outside of the city, but this was extreme, even for them. Worth it though! After the run, I was finally able to enjoy a bit of Glasgow. #GlasgowTrip2026 #Glasgow […]

While the weather is bearable again but not yet too cold and wet, why not enjoy some beers in a garden? Jardin Hospice, a garden hidden in a listed neoclassical hospice, dating back to the Dutch period. As old as the building is, as modern are the beers served: lots of Brussels Beer Project on […]

Your bad art is better than AI slop.
four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop  or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?
