Afternoon Each..mer blinkin' rain here...Love the poem Roxy..here's another

Theirs' patches on ma wellies,
Frae a puncture repair kit.
Theirs' patches on ma wellies,
But I'm comfortable wi it.

A wore them aw through autumn,
Fir shufflin through the leaves,
Chuggin like an auld steam train,
In drifts up tae ma knees.

A wore them aw through winter,
Fir trudging through the snaw.
Wi faither's fisherman's socks on,
A wisn't cauld at aw.

A wore them in the springtime,
In dubs and puddles deep,
And splashed in an oot o burns,
But ma wellies didn't leak.

In summer ma faithful wellies,
are shunted ablo the bed,
It's time fir serious training,
a wear ma trusty sannies instead,

Fir rinnin, an jumpin,
they were the best,
W'i socks at ma ankles,
Baggy shorts, an a vest.

I wis a sprinter, I wis a miler,
I wad even had Rodger Bannister beat,
Fir he niver trained in wellies,
Or haed smelly,sweaty feet.

So noo the summer's ending,
The birds no longer sing.
It'll soon be time fir ma wellies,
An the patches that they bring.

So A'll pull them on,
like guid auld freends.
An Ah widn'ae change a thing.

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

Good evening everybody. Was at the hospital this morning for a small brown spot on my temple, they sprayed it and said it would clear away in a few days. May a very special day for you watching your grandsons graduation, its great how we can watch these things. I was at my niece's in Cambridge and I have another one at Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow Uni.

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

May I bet you loved watching your Grandson graduate ... a very proud moment and I'm sure Jess had tears in her eyes on her neices' special day too.

Dancing tonight ... seems ages since I've been because of holidays and dog sitting.
