A day in the city and wee wander in sunshine after lunch. Marischal College and the area round it has been beautifully cleaned in recent years and it looked stunning today. It was part of Aberdeen University and my graduation was held in the Mitchell Hall there a long time ago! It was the day Allan first met my parents and a very happy day all round. There's a great light festival on in the evenings this weekend but we had other plans at home ....might have been nice otherwise.
Three good things
1. An important meeting in town went well.
2. A bit of a science lesson in the utility room this morning....😄 The new blind was so effective that the room was warmer, and the moisture from the laundry on the heated drying rack was frozen on the window!!! It was minus 6° outside!
3. Delicious Thai curry for lunch.
I have never ever been to Aberdeen, it looks much grander than I imagined ….lovely buildings there. Worth a visit.
How interesting re your blind….good to keep the heat in.
What an incredible building. Reminds me a bit of the view of King's college chapel looking towards Cambridge city centre. Quite a different building though.
@kork@happypat@busylady Thank you for your lovely comments.
I really think this is the best part of Aberdeen at the moment. Union Street was the main shopping street when I was a student back in the 70s and until about 10 years ago it was still fairly busy. Also we had John Lewis and three large shopping malls......but sadly almost all my favourite shops are gone now and lots of favourite eating places too. Very depressing there now even though they are trying to do pretty large-scale developments in places to draw people in.
Maybe there is a positive future though......
