That's me all set up for today's Byres Road Market in Hillhead Library. It's on from 11am until 4pm. I've got copies of Glasgow Uncovered book for sale as well as my tenement tile ceramic coasters, calendars, mounted prints and Christmas cards.

Sunset at Zaha Hadid's 2011 Riverside Museum on Pointhouse Quay in Glasgow. Reflected in the lower window is the 2024 Govan-Partick Pedestrian bridge, with the buildings of Govan beyond that.

There are few better places to visit on a wet winter's day in Glasgow than the Kibble Palace glasshouse in the Botanic Gardens. As well as being a marvel of Victorian engineering, it's got a distinctly tropical feel to it, even when it's cold and rainy outside.
