Down by the riverside

Glasgow and the River Clyde called again today. This time we headed to The Quay, a somewhat faceless leisure park on its south side to retrieve a pair of glasses.
The kids and I ended up having tea at the mock Italian American diner that had been kindly harbouring the abandoned spectacles. Well they had tea. Since I am on the ubiquitous 5:2 diet and was on a fast day, I had a minuscule salad and two small pieces of corn on the cob. Oh, and a couple of tiny crusts from a garlic bread pizza. I'm sure they pushed me up to 510 calories! (It's 5oo calories on one of your two fast days for women; 600 for men.)
After our meal, we went outside for a look up and down the river.
I bored the kids by telling them that I used to work on the patch of wasteland opposite the spot where we stood.
I spent two periods working there, firstly with the Sunday Mail in the early 1990s and then, with the Daily Record in the late 1990s.
The old Daily Record and Sunday Mail offices were pulled down a decade ago but I can still walk around it in my head.
I have so many memories of that building. Not all good, but not all bad either. I think I probably laughed more in there than at any other period in my working life. Or maybe that should read I was laughed at...
This shows the view from the other side. On the left hand side is the 'new' Daily Record and Sunday Mail building.
