Despite the weather in Glasgow today, it’s been an excellent day! We went to see the Australia vs England rugby game this morning at Walkabout – and guess what? WE WON! not just by a hair, but we thrashed them 51 to 15! GO Wallabies GO!

After such a win we went to the Glasgow School of Art to visit the ‘Degree Shows 2004’. This is the annual degree show for all graduating students from the departments of fine art, architecture and design. The fact that it was held for the most part in the Mackintosh building – which in itself is absolutely beautiful, just added to how brilliant some of the photography, textiles, architectural models and jewellery really were.

As usual, I get all sentimental when visiting student shows, wishing I was once again a student. Thinking (probably incorrectly) that wouldn’t it be great to be concentrating so much creative energy as well as learning…..

Then I come back to reality and really think about it, and decide that life as a student was not all that brilliant! No money, no experience, no wrinkles – and so the circle goes…..
