Over 50's Club Scotland (Part 1)

Good Morning Everyone,a bright sunny one here but snow still lying thick on the ground…no more overnight so it may thaw soon…Have a good one Folks x

Good morning everybody. No snow here thank goodness, Going to Braehead then into town for a few things.

Morning All :039: Sun’s out today, what a difference that makes to me. Still blooming cold though. Have not been to the pool all week, am too tired to swim. Have been gutting out my mother’s house for the last couple of weeks and it’s hard going as she is such a hoarder. I’ve come across stuff that’s falling to bits as it’s so old. Then I’m taking stuff between the Charity Shops and the Rubbish Dump. I’m having to sleep in the afternoons for a while just to get me through the day. Will be so glad when this is done and I can get myself back to normal again. I think every muscle in my body is aching.

Good morning everybody. Roxy its hard clearing out a house. Dry here at the moment . All packed and ready to go and stay with my niece overnight, then tomorrow I’m off to the Canary Isles for a week.

Good Morning Folks,still getting some sleet showers here and it was a hard frost last night so the pavements and roads are like ice this morning,

Have a great time Jessie.a week in the sun will do You good…

Morning All :039: Weather can’t make up it’s mind at all today. :confused: We’ve had snow, rain, wind and now it’s sunny. :102: But through it all it was really cold. Staying in front of the fire this afternoon…

Jeeze…heavy snow here again for the past hour and I’ve never seen such large snowflakes…lovely to look out at, but I’m glad I’m indoors now…wish I was going to sunnier climes with You Jessie :frowning:

Afternoon All…another freezing one here and the Ave’ is like a skating rink…so I’ve just done an on-line grocery shop at Asda…Haven’t done one for a long time usually from Tesco…but they faffed Me about so much I just gave up…lots of roll-overs from Asda so price was quite a bit less than before…will see how things go.

Afternoon Each,the sites been down all morning but don’t know why…It’s snowing again here and the roads are still bad,so I’ve postponed going around the furniture stores to choose a new sofa,will leave it until next Saturday then Daughter & SIL can come with Me…keep warm all.x

Afternoon All :039: Having a day off, am not even dressed yet and no intention of doing it either. Dog will just have to make do with the big back garden the day. Snow’s coming down again but I have a nice big fire, an Audio Book, and lots of coffee. So the world can do without me today…

Good morning Roxy,looks like it’s just Thee & Me here…a big thaw on here at last,snow still lying but frost & ice has gone.

Is Your Mum still in Hospital?..Take care,x

Afternoon All :039: Thaw on here thank goodness…
Just back from the Nursing Home May, have been there sorting out mum’s room for her with some of her favourite wee bits n bobs and took all the clothes up and sorted them all away for her. She’s going in sometime tomorrow, I won’t be going with her or she’ll act up and make a fuss. I’m going to give her till the W/E to settle in then I’ll go and see her…Then I can get back up to Thurso… My son lives just around the corner so he’ll see her every week and the daughter comes to Perth every Monday for lunch with her pals, and she’ll pop in to see mum while she’s here. There’s a lot goes on at the Ochil View so mum will have a busy life and will enjoy everything once she’s settled and I can stop worrying about her…

That’s good Roxy…I visited many Nursing Homes when I was in Social Work,and They always advised Relatives to stay away for a wee while to let the new Resident settle in,that way there was no upset for Them or Their Family…Your Mum will have lots of visitors which is fab’ and You can stop worrying .x

Afternoon Folks,it’s been pouring of rain here since last night,but at least the temp’ has risen quite a bit…spent the morning rearranging furniture etc’ in the spare room as I’m getting a new bed for it,Daughter complained Her back was breaking after sleeping on it last year,so I tried sleeping there last night…jeeze!..She’s right,I had to go back to My own bed after a couple of hours.:blush:

Good Morning Folks,a bright dry sunny one here so have the washing on the line then went for a nice long yomp,

Our Bards Birthday has come round again so here’s one of My fav’ poems/song.

A fond kiss, and then we sever;
A farewell, and then forever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I’ll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I’ll wage thee.
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, nae cheerfu’ twinkle lights me;
Dark despair around benights me.
I’ll ne’er blame my partial fancy,
Nothing could resist my Nancy;
But to see her was to love her;
Love but her, and love forever.
Had we never lov’d say kindly,
Had we never lov’d say blindly,
Never met–or never parted–
We had ne’er been broken-hearted.
Fare thee well, thou first and fairest!
Fare thee well, thou best and dearest!
Thine be like a joy and treasure,
Peace. enjoyment, love, and pleasure!
A fond kiss, and then we sever;
A farewell, alas, forever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I’ll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I’ll wage thee!

Robert Burns.

Good morning everybody. Got home last and glad that all the snow and ice has gone. Roxy hope your mum has settled into the nursing home. May our Bard certainly wrote some beautiful songs and poems.

Good Morning Jessie,hope You’re back home refreshed from Your holiday…aye the snow and ice has gone for now anyway.:smiley:

May to be honest I had a nap this afternoon. I don’t think I can stand the pace anymore, a few drinks and a few late nights, I’m getting to old.:cry:

Hiya Jessie,You and Me both Kid…I couldn’t hack it years ago so not much chance of doing it now…never mind…as long as the old brainbox is still in good working order We’ll be ticketyboo :wink:

Good morning everybody. May I’ll need to rest up for a few days, still feel tired. Back to the old routine hairdresser, then some shopping.
