Friday, Saturday, it's a bonanza of repeats!

Greetings, lovelies!

We're still here... Believe it or not, and quite well for the most part. (Some of us are fighting off colds so we're taking it a wee bit easy.)

Please be aware that we'll all be coming back saying words such as "wee" and "brilliant!" and "lovely." Seriously... Every time - EVERY TIME - you go to pay for something they exclaim, "That's lovely!" It's so darn cute. (I suppose you could say it is, in fact, a "lovely" thing to say!) So just be forewarned that our vernacular will be expanding.

So here's the update: we have a very full house. (We even have a ghost! Not quite as lovely!) Kristin and Tracy are here, we have Bonnie who is headed back to Spokane tomorrow, we have Brandon, Luna, Diana and Cindy & Jenna. And Stacey the ghost. Yes, we've named her.

For the past two days we've been split up so Jenna will be giving you one group's update right now and Cindy will get on the computer tomorrow to fill in the pieces. We know we have very special readers out there and we don't want to leave you all hanging. (The funny thing is that I think Brandon is one of our biggest readers and he's HERE asking for blog updates. Hilarious!)

Let's move on to some lovely photos, shall we? Let's see what we have on hand... Here's a few from lunch yesterday. We went to Di Maggio's again:



Brandon, Tracy, Diana, Kristin & Luna



Watch out, Luna! Auntie Kristin wants some Mac 'n' Cheese!



Oh no! Auntie Tracy wants some too!

Seriously... We ALL passed that around! It is pretty amazing Mac 'n' Cheese. They don't mess around at Di Maggio's!

It's been two days of city sites and food and shopping... Lots of repeat performances from earlier in the trip, as we had to share our new favorite spots with the girls!

We did more shopping downtown on Buchanan Street and then hopped back on the City Bus Tour and did the whole tour stop to finish. We were fantastically fortunate to have the most amazing tour guide this time, Judith, who is largely involved in drama and the arts in Glasgow.

Kristin is a huge Dr. Who and Torchwood fan and Judith's husband happens to be John Barrowman's personal stylist and close friend for the past several years (she even has his dirty socks in her washer at this very moment!) So she was chock full of great information and what luck to see Glasgow under her direction. It was amazing!

We then went to dinner AGAIN at Masala Twist, that fantastic Indian restaurant that we also went to the other night. The girls love Indian food and a great time was had by all!

No more pictures to share from Friday - let's move on to today, Saturday.

Finally we were all able to go to Smile! Cafe to introduce the girls to Rocco & Santino. The Americans took over the whole place (it is a wee little cafe, dontcha know!)



Tres, Kristin, Luna, Brandon, Diana & Cindy

Diana's Tic-Tac Mocha - Delish!

After that little bit of deliciousness we headed out to explore a secret little avenue called Ashton Lane that had the most picturesque little pubs and places...



Brandon, Kristin, Luna & Tres



Tres & Jenna - Vodka Wodka - um... Yes, please!



Luna's fashion photo of the day!

We tooled around a bit and then headed back downtown for more shopping! Everyone got something today - it was a banner day for shopping in our little group! Tracy and I have a serious All Saints addiction and today we found their "Archive Store" (a nice way of saying off season clothes) and we went bananas. Everyone will be coming home very well dressed, that is for certain!

Lunch at the Willow Tea Room (again for Jenna and Luna - no matter, we LOVE it there!)



The lovely Kristin & Tracy



Jenna & Luna



Kristin & her "afternoon tea" delicacies!



And look at the view! It's All Saints! Perfect seats!

After lunch Luna was treated to a penguin balloon animal on Buchanan Street:



Happy girl & her penguin

We were quite tired after our activities so we headed back to the flat to relax. And we haven't stopped since... All hanging out on the couches upstairs listening to the rain.

That's it from my update! Signing off for now... Cindy will fill in the pieces tomorrow for you!

Love to you all, dear ones!
