Waaaaaaay back in March I heard that Mogwai were going to play at The Hydro in Glasgow… in December. I got excited, then forgot, then remembered, then booked tickets so that P and I could go see them. Not long afterwards I saw my sister and suggested that she should come too and should bring… Continue reading Mogwai
A couple of weeks ago I met some friends to play another Escape Room at Glasgow Riddle Rooms. After almost an hour of puzzling away, we beat the room (hurrah!) and repaired to Shilling Beer Co for a celebratory drink. At this point, one friend, who happens to be Italian, suggested pizza at “this new… Continue reading Dinner at Mozza, Glasgow
If you like a good burger and you’re in Glasgow but you’ve not been to Bread Meats Bread I want to know what you’ve been playing at. The City Centre and the West End branches are both amazing and serve up arguably the best burgers in the city. When Bread Meats Bread announced they were… Continue reading Brunch at ‘Babs, Glasgow
Last Tuesday I went along to the King’s Theatre in Glasgow with Raj and co to go and see The Addams Family. When Raj had suggested the trip I knew nothing about the production but I knew I’d liked The Addams Family movies and the cartoon series as a kid, and that something like this… Continue reading The Addams Family
Last week I attended Venturefest Scotland in Glasgow at the Science Centre. As a recently ex-academic, it’s a bit strange to me to attend a conference with such a different angle to the ones I’m used to. Venturefest is a business and innovation conference (I think they call it a summit) that has a real… Continue reading Venturefest Scotland
Until last weekend the only Pride event I’d ever attended was in Seoul in 2015. I stumbled across it completely by accident and had a lot of fun drinking a rainbow slushy and listening to a K-Pop band. I’ve meant to go to the events in Edinburgh and Glasgow many times but somehow have never… Continue reading Glasgow Pride
For the second time in as many years, I have attended a Bard in the Botanics performance of a Shakespear play that I had previously never seen or read, and for the second time, I have been absolutely blown away by that performance. Last year it was Coriolanus. This year, again in Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens,… Continue reading Bard in the Botanics: Timon of Athens
Wow, this post is late. Sorry, I guess it’s been kind of a busy few weeks. Anyway, way back on 8th June, it was my penultimate day of work as a postdoctoral researcher at Glasgow University. In my research group there, the Institute for Gravitational Research (or IGR) it’s kind of a tradition that when people… Continue reading Dinner at Balbir’s
Back in 2012, I graduated with my MSci in physics. In October of the same year, I started my PhD in physics. I completed my thesis in September 2016, passed my viva in December 2016, and handed in the final, bound, corrected and updated copy, along with all the paperwork, in January 2017. Perhaps expectedly,… Continue reading Graduation!
In March I went along to a £10 tasting event at Taste Buchanan in the Buchanan Galleries in Glasgow. The premise was simple: £10 would get you a stamp card and you could then show this to each of the five vendors at Taste Buchanan – they’d give you one of their trademark dishes and a… Continue reading A second tasting menu event at Taste Buchanan
