Went for a walk round Ardinning this morning. Lots of birds singing, including the first cuckoo I’ve heard this year. Bluebells starting to appear.
Had a nice walk around some of the Campsies yesterday. Quite a contrast between the flora & fauna of the pipetrack at the start and the bare hills. Map, pictures and notes:

Read: Blank Pages and Other Stories – Bernard MacLaverty ★★★★★ 📚
Quite spare stories, filled with details. Mostly around loss, grief or difficult lives.
Had a quick walk through Kelvingrove park this morning. Saw this wee thing dipping in the river.
Read: My Name Is Lucy Barton – Elizabeth Strout ★★★★☆ 📚
So quiet and understated, the whitespace seems to hold the story.
Had a walk around the Glen Douglas trio today. Most “up” since I had covid. Photos & notes on the walkmap
