Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Oooh forgot to come here and say Hi - Hello everyone. Still freezing, still skiting around on the ice in an undignified manner. No plans for today yet but its fairly early. Keep warm and stay safe everyone!

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Afternoon All, Had a busy morning with one thing and another, snow is slowly melting thank heavens. Had to take the brush handle and smash all the icicles hanging from the gutters, they would have damaged the cars or hurt the dog/us if they had fallen so I helped them on their way.
After lunch it's a tidy up and see to the washing then feet up at the fire and a wee snooze.

Hi everyone, still freezing here and a very cold wind, got towels on the line today, getting a good blow...had two harassing scam calls this morning,supposedly from amazon,,,,I don't have an account, don't use them
I wonder where they get these Asian sounding robots..

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Good afternoon. Sunny and cold here with a few icy patches still it was good to get out for a walk. Paula I've had those calls from Amazon also BT, who sound genuine when you hear it. Had a bit of lunch now feel like a wee nap.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Good morning. Another cold one here but its supposed to get warmer next week. Waiting for a delivery from a local shop I ordered some tulips in pots, once they arrive I'll get out for a walk.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

good morning all, I had my jab this morning, in the community centre, the place was mobbed, everyone was so nice so glad to have it done at last.
I saw on the news this morning that some folk arriving in this country have fake documents so that they won't have to isolate...how selfish is that, they don't care if they spread it around..

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Hello everyone! Just been out with the rubbish with gloves on. All bins are sealed shut with the weather so I had to prise it open with a knife. I'm sure I made a pleasant sight out the back with a mask on wielding a knife!

Paula - thats disgusting, fake documents. I hope they get caught and jailed for fraud!

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Morning, Bloody Blimey it's so cold here and it's the wind howling in from the sea, it's blowing a hooley.
Paula, that's awful it just shows that even in an emergency folk don't give a damn as long as they're alright.
Pixie, I have an old Spurtle that doesn't get used for porridge but it's great for giving frozen things a good wallop and freeing them to open up.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Paula I haven't seen any news today. Pixie I agree with you put them in the pokie and throw away the key. You must have made a lovely sight with the mask and the knife. Roxy I haven't heard spurtle used in years. Changed my mind about the walk its Baltic out there.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Jess, Coming from the islands I grew up with the word. I've always called it a spurtle and I guess I always will. It sat in the cellar for years untill several Winters ago and I had a frozen metal lift on a gate at the side of the house, I then found the bin lid was also frozen fast. I went hunting for somethng to wallop them with and spied the spurtle, so it has a new lease of life.....but just seasonal.
