The Glasgow Show

Today I was at a show on Glasgow Green called 'The Glasgow Show'. It was really like the old Fetes you used to get. There was a very eclectic mix of things to see and do and I must say I had a great time. The highlights for me were the motorcycle stunt, the horse stunts, and the skateboarding. I must mention the robot that was going around the place though. It was very popular. Pretty scarey looking though.

Photovoltaic Scooter Charger

Because I use my scooters electric start and I only travel very short journeys, the battery seems to have a net drain and requires a topping up charge every couple of weeks. I have got round this by adding a solar panel onto the top box to trickle charge the battery. It works too. It was only £9.99 from Maplin and outputs 1.5 watts. It's already started to attract attention with a few people asking me what it's for.

Biorb 2: Siamese Fighting Fish

I have got myself a second biorb aquarium and this time have done a bit more research on stocking it. I have a male Siamese fighting fish and ten neon tetras. I got a shaving mirror for the fighting fish, not because it needs a shave, but because they naturally want to 'fight' and 'show' to potential rival males. Here are a couple of pics, but they are very difficult to photograph because of their propensity to keep swimming around!

River Clyde Walkway

I recently had a lovely walk along the north bank of the Clyde from Glasgow Green all the way to Cambuslang. Along the way I saw quite a few birds, animals and insects. Nature really has learned to live in the City these days. I had my trusty camera phone with me and took a few pics along the way. I'm very pleased with them to be honest and rate my camera phone better than my digital camera.
