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

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

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

Afternoon All 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..

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
