Notes from the end of the world

Recommended Posts

So, you’re holed up safely with your toilet paper, Heinz beans, Kalashnikov and packets of lasagne sheets. With the Grim Reaper possibly on his way to see you and no hope of getting out to socialise or travel for the next goodness knows how long, your thoughts turn to happier times. What was your last holiday abroad, your last restaurant meal, the last Hearts match you went to, your last concert and cinema visit, the last pub you were in? I’ll start:

 

Last holiday abroad: Venice

Last meal out: burgers at Innis & Gunn a couple of weeks ago

Last Hearts match: Motherwell (1-1)

Last concert: SCO doing some Mahler at the Usher Hall

Last pub: Golden Rule

Last cinema visit: struggling here. May have been Skyfall!

I should maybe have thought twice about including “Last Hearts match” in a thread reflecting on happier times...
