a bad shot of one of glasgow's landmarks. for some strange reason the traffic cone is not on the statue but someone will have put it back by now,

it's a city institution and when the council suggest doing something to stop people putting the cone on the statue's head, there's uproar.

i woke up with another bit of broken off filling after having had the same happen on the other side of my mouth last week. the dentist reckoned i'm grinding my teeth at night. so it's back to see him next week.

it's odd, by day i feel quite upbeat and generally positive but the demons must come out at night. the good thing is that i'm not aware of having stressed out dreams.

so what's making me tense? my new work? work changes for mr skaterg1rl? the shock of getting back in to the school/work routine again? the prospect of my operation?

i suppose there's a lot going on but i could do without having to be brave at the dentist as well

cb1 and 1 trotted in to town to change a top and look at the goths who hang out by goma. i spotted a couple of bargains in the charity shop. and me and the kids made tea light lanterns from jam jars. am still trying to learn how to relax...

and now i'm trying not to feel tense about the prospect of feeling tense in the night.
