Paints, Flowers, and Simple Joys in Glasgow

My day out in Glasgow was so beautiful, and I had such a lovely time. I did have some errands to run, but I also wanted to enjoy the day. My partner was heading towards the city centre, so I joined him. After he parked in a car park, we strolled together, and I saw a wedding dress that caught my eyes before parting ways to do what we needed to do.

As I walked, I took photos of things that caught my eye along the street. The city was full of people, and I realized it was probably because one of Scotland’s big football matches was happening today. The atmosphere was lively.

One of the highlights for me was finally purchasing the paints I’ve been wanting for a while. I’ve also been longing to step back into my creative side, and this felt like a good beginning. By nature, I’m a creative person, but I haven’t really shared that part of myself here on the blog. I feel ready now to start doing so.

 
The day was sunny and bright, which made everything feel even better. I loved watching the buses go by, especially the open-top tourist bus. Seeing the curiosity on the faces of visitors reminded me of when I first arrived in Scotland, eager to explore every corner.

I ran a few errands along the way. I stopped at Argos to look for paint but didn’t find much variety, so I went to a specialist shop instead. The staff there were so helpful when I explained the project I had in mind, they guided me towards the right products. Just after I entered a British Heart Foundation shop, I picked up a simple straw bag at a bargain price, as well as a small torchlight to add to our adventure kit. Later, I went to another shop and found two ceramic plates I plan to use as palettes for painting. I also entered Tk Maxx and took a selfie in the mirror before entering a drugstore to buy an earring.

 

 

Before heading home, I treated myself to a glass of apple cider at a bar, then popped into Victoria’s Secret and Quiz Clothing. On my way back, I picked some fresh flowers, which was a sweet way to end the outing.

Throughout the day, I was on the phone with my friend—we went from one topic to another, which made everything even more enjoyable. Once I got home, I made a hearty stew with meat and rice, then had a bath, ate, and settled in to rest while watching a movie on YouTube. That’s when I started writing this post, reflecting on what a full and happy Saturday it had been.

I hope you had a lovely Saturday too. How did you spend yours?
