Over 50's Club Scotland (Part 1)

A very early good morning to you today, I’m back with the no sleeping carry on again. Sat out on the back bench with a coffee, so quiet, not a sound, not even the ocean so it must be very calm out there.
Am going back to bed to try to sleep but if not I’ll head up the beach with the dog at first light.
Have a good day all. :069:

Good Morning People,cloudy & cool here atm but to warm up later as usual,

Tinted eyelashes,waxed eyebrows & top lips I’ve not experienced,lol,sounds painful Lassies :-p

Nice to have a Friend to have a blether with in the garden Beki,weather has been perfect for it…,I too had a Friend who came to replace 2 broken panes of glass in the SH doors which swelled up with the heat,

Hope Your sleep pattern returns to normal soon Rox,it happens to Me too once in a while…thanks for the giggle re’ the link,always welcome,She’s a tonic :lol:

Good morning ladies. Beki glad you enjoyed time with your friend yesterday. Roxy hope you manage to have a nap later. May there is always something needing done around the house and garden. Hope its a bit quieter here today as yesterday was really busy, even last night there was still a lot of people about.

Good afternoon ladies. Roxy, hope you are having a rest now. I’ve experienced bouts of insomnia over the years. In later years I’ve made a point of not, or very rarely, getting out of bed, and reading or ‘waiting’ til I go back to sleep. I did read that you should repeat the word ‘anything’ until you drop off again. It is a word which doesn’t have a meaning so won’t put any thoughts into your mind. Very warm this morning. I was glad to get some fresh air earlier then popped to the shopping centre around lunch time. I have no interest in shopping but it was a change. Planning lunch with one of my brothers in the next week or so. We will probably have lunch in Glasgow so that is something to look forward to - eek - public transport! Have a nice evening ladies.

Morning All, Yes I did manage to go back to sleep yesterday thanks.
Cloudy and very humid here the now, headache weather. Been out with the dog and nothing much else on today. Just take it as it comes.

Good afternoon ladies. Roxy glad you managed a sleep yesterday. Beki haven’t been on the Edinburgh bus for a few years. Treated myself to a new laptop today, my niece came with me. She brought me home and set it up for me. Rain here earlier and its stopped so will get out to the shops for a few things.

Good afternoon all. It’s rained all day here, light rain but persistent. I’ve done very little, made another face mask, brushed the kitchen floor, played about on the laptop! Must do better tomorrow. Lunch is booked for Glasgow next week Jess & I will probably take the train through. I’m meeting friends in Edinburgh later in the week. Goodness 2 days out in a week. I will begin to think I’m living again. Take care.

Good morning ladies. Beki you know how to live lunch out twice in a week. I’m jealous I usually meet up with friends for lunch, or coffee and a chat. I don’t mind getting the bus to Edinburgh, but I won’t sit on a bus into Glasgow to long a journey. Some food shopping for me later.

Morning, Very dark Dull and Cloudy here today, but at least it’s dry so far. Going to have yet another bash at the weeds if it stays dry, they just keep coming…and coming. :cry:
I haven’t been on a train in twenty years, I simply refuse to pay their disgusting prices AND maybe not get a seat. Hhhurrmmpphh, I don’t think so.

Good evening ladies. Roxy I love taking the train for long journeys these days. I have been driving for over 50 years & still love to drive. My work involved travelling all over Scotland & often England. I also visited family in the South East of England and friends in the Oxford area. I never attempted driving to London. I have no qualms about driving distances but it really is good to have a relaxed journey and actually see something of the countryside you pass through so, since retiring, I choose to travel by train instead of driving or flying. I use City link buses, particularly to Glasgow, and find that a change as well. Returning from Liverpool last year (the outward journey was fine) there were problems with train service. Can’t remember why, but instead of one change, we had to change about 3 times. Everything went like clockwork and we arrived back in Edinburgh around the time we were due to arrive anyway. Not for the faint hearted or anyone with mobility problems but certainly not boring. Now I’ve got the travel bug, but there nowhere to go! Take care.

Good morning ladies. Roxy hope it stayed dry for you to get the weeding done. I prefer the train to Glasgow because it isn’t stopping at every bus stop on the way. I have a senior railcard so I get a third off train fares. Beki I got the train to Torquay twice and it was just to long. Then to Cardiff once, the next two times I flew there. Nails today and then into town after that. May hope your ok.

Morning All, Yes I did an hour in the garden as that’s all the bending my back could handle. Will hopefully get the rest done this afternoon. Have to head into the town shortly as I’m needing to go to the bank to raid my savings for a garden table and benches I’m having made.
It’s dry here but we’re due a couple of days of wind n rain… Oh Joy.
Jess I used to love travelling by train but they priced me off them, far too expensive now. What finally finished me was when I booked a seat from Perth to Inverness return, but I ended up having to stand all the way. Not on as far as I’m concerned, if they had the Seniors Pass like buses do then I’d use them. I still like to drive though and up here I have to, but for a day out down in Inverness then I’d use the train.

Good Morning Lassies,Sky has become very dark all of a suddenso will expect rain!

Have been busy in the garden and a bit of DIY around the House,so I get out of the habit of signing in here when I’ve things to do…I guess when You’ve been on Social Sites as long as Me,I 've seen/read/heard it all before…so nothing new to stir My interest,

I hear there’s a search party out looking for Doris in Scotland and a wee bird told Me He’s been seen on the banks o’ Loch Ness with binoculars…looking for the monster? :mrgreen:

Well he can stay there, it’s just over 100 miles south of here so there should be no bumping into him on dog walks or Horse Trecks. :lol:

Good evening all. I wondered if Doris was in quarantine as we haven’t heard whether or not his brother who died recently had tested positive for Covid? Let him keep coming as each visit he and his followers make gets us another YES vote. Humid day with a little rain but I still managed to get some weeding done. I love the heat, sun, & even the rain, but it does make the weeds shoot up. I’ve made an appointment for the hairdresser next week Jess. I’ve kept it a lot longer since lockdown but it definitely needs more attention. It’s a pain when they suspend bookings on a train journey Roxy. It has only happened to me on return trip from London and it wasn’t too bad as I got on in London. The Liverpool return was a bit chaotic as we had to use different trains & routes from those we booked and there was a Rugby match in Scotland so all trains were busy. However it was well organised. Glad to hear you are Ok May. Take care.

Good morning ladies. It took me a few minutes to realise who Doris was. Roxy I’ve never really had bother on trains with seats. Beki I feel my hair has grown a bit longer in the last few weeks. May glad to hear your ok. Eyebrow waxing today and then some housework and maybe gardening.

Good Morning Each,quite a chilly one here but haven’t been out yet as I’m waiting for a delivery between 10-12,

I hope BOJO realises He is in SCOTLAND and NOT North Britain which is what He,Gove,Davidson & Ross would like Us to be called in the future :075:…We will always be SCOTS who live in SCOTLAND so I hope We ram it down Their tory throats in May 2021…Burns got it right…‘Sic a parcel o’ rogues in a Nation’ :twisted:

Haven’t been on a train for years,so much easier for Me on the bus as the stops just a 3 min’ walk from My House…I hear the train fares are going up but If the bus-pass is done away with I’ll be stuck with depending on Family/taxis to get around :shock:

Stay safe & take care All.xx

Morning, Rain here today so no outside for yours truly. May I’ve found folks around Inverness pretty plain speaking, also there’s a massive Yes Movement there, so no doubt he’ll be hearing a few home truths as I’m sure some will go on a Doris Hunt for just that reason.
I hadn’t heard anything about the buss pass being done away with, hope that’s not true, there will be ructions if it is.

Lol,Methinks He’s sheltering on the 50,000 acres Balmoral Estate with Queeny & Co’…Could They be discussing Her abdication in favour of Charlie :shock:…That would get Doris off the hook for the pandemic/test results fiasco…just sayin’ :wink:

Naw…I’ve not heard of any moves to get rid of the free buspass…but…who knows what the future holds.

Well if himself is being hidden by Queenie then he’s over on the East Side in Aberdeenshire. Not Nessie Hunting outside Inverness. :017:
They seek him here they seek him there. :044: :044: :044:
