An Evening of Contrasts in Glasgow

Oh, The Ubiquitous Chip was so nice. John had the roe deer and the cheese plate, and I had the crab bisque  and also pan fried sea bream with cauliflower gazpacho. And their famous oatmeal ice cream. Here's John with his cheese plate:

And here's a shot of the restaurant:

There's tons of greenery inside and the roof is like a greenhouse - that's a koi pond to the left. It's such a beautiful place.

Then we wandered around the University of Glasgow before heading back to the hotel. The buildings we saw were all very different - the roundish one is a reading room. I'm not sure what the one with all the greens and blues is. I liked the benches for the students with the ceramic head rests. They're all inscribed with drawings of different plants. Come to find out, it's actually an art installation, although students use it as benches.

Then we got ready to go dancing. Here are some shots of me wearing my sparkle top, posing for my life:

You can see the lighting effects possible in the hotel. The remote control for the bathroom light (yes, you read that right, the remote control for the bathroom light) has a color wheel and you can pick any color you want. This brought limitless joy and amusement to John. 

Here's a photo of the interior of The Arches. Yes, that is a bouncy house. I may or may not have sustained minor bouncy house-related injuries -- We shall draw a veil over that part of the evening and my inability to confine myself to amusements appropriate to my age. Although, honestly, it was John's idea.
