St Andrew’s Day

Islay arrived later than expected so I had a head start to the day completing a couple of Duolingo exercises before 8, and organising soup which we have just eaten this evening. There will be plenty for tomorrow too if I can stomach it.
We were in Pollok Park just before sunrise. The blip is the Poloc Cricket Pavillion. An assertive breeze kept the flag unfurled. I feel a bit ambivalent towards flags, less so towards the Saltire mainly because of its gentle colours and the fact that it is shared by at least six others nations. It’s the link with nationalism that I find problematic, Scottish civic nationalism excepted.
Happy St Andrew’s Day!
