Sunny Wednesday: Bigfoot sighted!

dcFeeling pretty rough after the gut pain in the night, I dragged myself out for some hot chocolate (and, in the event, a bowl of soup too). That helped me feel a bit more human, as did the sun. It was downright hot today, and it is only May. I wonder if this is going to be a summer hotter than 1976?
I popped into Lush to get something I had run out of, and passed a crowd of people I initially thought were chuggers. Not so: Solidartomsc was out in force in Buchanan Street, trying to get their glorious leader re-elected. It was only when I was in Lush and popping the earpieces of the MP3 player out (an MP3 is a wonderful aid to avoiding people you don't want to talk to, like chuggers and canvassers, when you really are not in the mood) that I realised the voice over the megaphone was familiar. Yes, it was the Govan Bigfoot himself. Slightly shorter than I recall (but, then, I usually think that about people), and I thought a bit less permatanned. I am not going to vote for him, but I can't help thinking politics will be a bit more boring if he doesn't get elected.
I finally caught sight of one the Scottish Christian Party's flyers. One page basically boils down to:
My voice is clearly not back to normal. I had some trouble getting the guy taking my order for the hot chocolate to understand what I wanted. Maybe he was just dozey, but I think my voice remains pretty weak. I had to call![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sheonamcc today to check her email address, and I was having problems getting my voice working then, too.
Plan for tonight: bath; bed; bland food. Not in that order, that is just the order of what is the most appealing.
BTW, the new issue of The List has the new Glasgow/Edinburgh Eating & Drinking Guide with it. Cheaper to get it with the magazine than to wait and buy it alone.

We're not homophobic but DO YOU REALISE IT IS ILLEGAL TO TELL A SCHOOLCHILD WHO SAYS HE IS HOMOSEXUAL THAT THIS IS AN ABOMINATION IN THE EYES OF GOD?I should bloody think so! I hope they lose their deposits.
