HOT DAY IN GLASGOW
Writing this in Glasgow on a sweltering day and looking forward to getting out of the city. I don not like v hot weather and always feel I am short of clothes suitable for sitting in the front of a coach on a scorcher - not that there are that many.
Global warming, eh? No point in tour guides moaning about it - the whole travel business relies on carbon emissions, from trains and planes and buses and boats. we are constantly on the move, always organising excursions which create more and more emissions, moving on and producing more laundry, turning on the air conditioning in order to cool our passnegers down to counteract the effect of the heat caused by their (our) travelling. The vicious circle continues and, although I try to reuse towels, cut down on personal car journeys, go by train rather than plane, whenever possible, I am well aware that I am in asn industry that could not survive without carbon emissions.
Maybe I will eventually be able to lead a low carbon life - but not while I have to make a living. Anyway must go now, I have another excursion to run. Still need to make a living ...
