Up the hill to East Kilbride

This entry was originally published at Darkest Before Dawn

Today is a nice day compared with the rain soaked week that we have had all over Scotland.

When I walk I much prefer to listen. To the radio than music from my iPod. I think this is partly because I can judge time passing easier, also I quite like the programmes on Radio Scotland on a Saturday & Sunday. Today I heard Glen Campbell doing a cover of Greeday’s “Good Riddence” & became aware of a Scottish band called “The Hussy’s” & yes the usual spelling is “Hussies”.

As the title suggests from my starting point it is a slow walk up hill to East Kilbride, so at least my walk back will be down hill.
At the moment I am in East Kilbride shopping centre having a coffee, I think I was here breifly when I was a teenager as I remember seeing the Ice Rink. Ice skating was never an activity that I was any good at, it requires too much coordination. Just before the skating session ended the DJ played Kriss Kross, they were the trousers on backwards guys weren’t they? Anyway I have not heard the track played for years.

Time to start moving again and head towards home.
