A pleasant afternoon in the city

So yesterday was Glasgow Pride. And what a pride it was indeed.

My day didn't actually start till later on as i had to go into work for 4 hours in the morning so didn't start getting ready till 2.

My friend and her cousins who are currently over from South Africa came over and we had a little drink here whilst i got ready. Then to my surprise and joy they all chipped in to give me a hand :)

It was amazing being out and OUT at the same time. We started at the concert in George Square where there was some stalls, a bar and loads of people.. To my supprise here of all places i didn't bump into anyone i knew.

Then we moved onto the Merchant City. Well known for being Glasgows Gay area. We hit a few more bars before my South African comrades had to move on as they were staying miles out of town. So my and my friend decided to go grab a bite to eat.

This would be my first time dining out in public as myself. Ok so im not going to lie. I did get a few looks, but to be honest it was nothing i couldn't handle. Something about the day just helped ease any fears.

After this we did bump into someone i knew.. who has since tried to tag me in this photo on my facebook (this is why i am an advocate of tagline review) So anyone who didn't know .. now does.

I was a little worse for wear by then. My hair had come a little undone but gives you the chance to see a full pic of me.

As the night drew to a close though i found myself in a taxi home with a driver who didn't realise anything until i opened my mouth. Just another reason to keep working on my voice.

I loved pride was soo much fun.

My only issue was i didn't really make any new friends as such which is kinda what i really wanted to do.

I did make a contact at the concert stalls with a lovely girl called Rose who said that she was part of a group for Tgirls in the area and that she would get in touch.. So the future is bright there :)

As for today, spent most of it in the house. Tomorrow i am back at work a rather anticlimactic end to a week off (bar the 4 hours i had to do, but thats a whine for another day)
