Spring is on the way! Life's great!

So, I live in the Southside of Glasgow. It's a pretty nice place to live if I'm honest, although the litter gets so much on my tits that I even gave Tory councillor David Meikle 2nd choice on my list, as he was willing to make such a song and dance about it in his campaigning - several months since the election and I notice the bold David has got himself onto plenty commitee's but f*ck all sign of the streets getting any cleaner. Ho hum!

Anyway, my OCD litter problem apart, life on the Southside is pretty good. Kilmarnock Road is lively enough with plenty decent bars, restaurants and coffee shops. We're surrounded by parks and despite what those Go-Ape eejits want to do to Pollok park one of them was even voted not just Britain's best, but also Europe's best park for last year. The Carling academy is just down the road, Hampden is just over the hill and the city centre about 6 minutes on the train that does indeed occasionally drop by.

In the mornings it's pretty well daylight when I leave for work and in the evenings, it's still light when I leave work, although dark by the time I get home, but I know the days are getting longer and in the meantime I'm enjoying the greatest pleasure known to man. I get to come home from work and mercilessly tickle my 6 month old son, who goes nuts when he sees me coming in the door.

Roll on Summer! and come on Nature! you owe us a decent one this year!
