Has it been nearly 3 weeks since the last blog

Well it looks as if I havent been blogging for a small bit. So lets think whats been happening, well as usual the rugby club has kept me busy, I have a couple of new jobs since Jim Morton resigned, some of that is keeping me busier. Liz still has her fitness classes on Mondays. Last Monday the committee meeting only last 90 minutes, which was great. The first xv still keep on winning when the rain doesn't get in the way (like last Saturday). I don't know how many know how lucky we are with the club. Just about every away league game we have at the moment, inside beside a club. When we went to Cowal (whilst the MOD was on) we got into 2 changing rooms because first one was being used by Shinty. Also me, Catriona & Donald had got to Dunoon about 12.30, kick off was 3pm (way too early). Still it was a good victory and I got home about 8.15pm because I got bus from Kilmarnock. Last Friday was very busy as well, had usual job to do in club friday evening, then eventually went to chapel hall and they raised loads of money for girls team. Saturday night at club was Jordan's leaving doo, he is in New Zealand now. It started at 5.30pm (getting there), I went to bed after Alibi in Sun and Vendetta in Tc's after 1am. The next day I checked facebook and went I don't remember taking those (but I had). It was a great night. I am glad Sunday wasn't too taxing, just manual stuff mostly. Tuesday night at the Royal Quiz our team with me won play your cards right for £138 (between 10 of us). Some weeks its 5 of us, this week it was 10. We also won the quiz, it was a good night. Wednesday I went with Frank to Tudor Restaurant in Ayr.
That was the main meal photos I had, I put this on trip advisor:- I went with friend, got taken to table, I got salmon starter. It was in a soup with lots of salmon inside and bread, it was very nice, presentation was excellent. I had heard before hand the Tudor had been refurbished and this is to a very good standard, from immaculate toilet to whole decor of eating area. Next I had Gammon Steak, peas and salad with chips. It was very filling. The size of Gammon steak was very large, bigger than I am used to. Didnt finish all the chips. i had a coke in a very nice glass. Between the two of us it was about £25. Pricing on menu was for 2 courses, so I dont think many people go for one. Only worry was staff didnt see everything was ok and I had to go and ask for bill. It was quite busy at this point and thought they may keep more of an eye on this if they could. Overall food was great and way it looks is a great improvement. After the meal I went across to Wellington Sports Ground to cheer on rugby players U15/U16 from Cumnock/Auchinleck Academy, the boys did very well in second half holding a very strong Wellington side. Wednesday night another team I am in won quiz at rugby club, but next month there will be £135+ to win. Thursday I discovered the Schools touch festival was on so I just helped out where I can (I did try to warn you I have been busy with rugby) Logan Primary won again this year. I left there about 2.30 ate something and went back at 6pm for training, which wasn't bad. Thursday night I decided I was going to see skyfall. I hadn't seen the following trailer, even though I knew I wanted to see it. It was great, It was a bit different from the last few, I couldnt fault it. If you can see it, see it. I had used 1000 odeon points from all those collecting from other films I went to see. Yesterday I was Glasgow East, well I say Glasgow East we actually played the same place we play Strathclyde Police in Hamilton. The Cumnock team won 70-0 after 58 minutes after they went to 11 players and we took the points. Last night was the Halloween Party. Now the following picture people are liking most on my facebook today
Now on Thursday I finalised roughly what I was wearing. This is what I wore last night (minus my big black coat)
Now if you only saw me from the waist up it looks like I am wearing a shirt and Cumnock Academy tie.
When I helped behind the bar, thats what they thought. It's only when you see the full part, you see a black skirt and tights. lets just say I didn't sit on any radiators, and if anybody had asked why I didn't wear heels "I am tall enough". After going to rugby club party until about 10.20 I went up (yes I walked up, I had taxi down to club) towards The Sun, The nice lady Security Person said I had to show Karen this outfit the got prize for Worst Fancy Dress, which still got me a bottle of wine. I enjoyed the music in Sun and it was fun when I could relax. Today after the clocks change I went to Troon where it wasn't raining and we won. When we got back to Cumnock it was flinging it down again. In next few weeks I am going to New Zealand and South Africa games. I hope you enjoy this blog and comment unless you just want to advertise on it) and I will try to do another one quicker.

My past weekend





























Well above is some photos I took over the weekend.

On Saturday I didn't head for rugby I had other plans. I had heard an advert on radio about a shop doing half price for halloween outfits.

I headed to Ayr and got there about 1230. Ayr Races was on the same day but as you can see from the pics the car park wasn't full yet when I passed, but traffic was busy around there.

I got an outfit for £10 so I was quite happy. Next once I worked out where to get lunch I enjoyed it.

I headed to Rabbies Bar in Burns Statue Square for the Butlins reunion. Met some people I knew already and lots I didn't really know. It was good fun but I knew I had halloween parties in Cumnock at night when some more people were arriving I knew. It was still good to be there.

I headed home, got changed into my Scream suit. Trouble with that suit is that the eye holes were really small and when I removed the mask my glasses steamed up, so I wore it on my head most of the night.

I headed down to rugby club for 7pm for 1st halloween party and started on Irn Bru. I did some talking to mates and found out about how the senior teams did (both lost). I got a report from Bobby verbally and I sent it to the Cumnock Chronicle for him Sunday (audioboo does have it's uses but I don't tend to publish that audioboo).

It was about 9pm I left to go to Royal Hotel and Cancer Research Halloween Party, organised by David Kerr. It's was good fun, saw lots of mates.

On Sunday I watched some telly in morning from my planner. I even watched Newcastle hammer Sunderland. I tweeted into Fanzone talking about Bardsley before Newcastle was scoring goals for fun. They called me a "Sunderland Fan", maybe I should have tweeted in a Rangers Fan. I was texting my cousin who supports Newcastle and Rangers who agreed with me. I still felt sorry for the Sunderland commentator on Fanzone having to stay there.

So on media I got mentions on Scrum V fanscene Scarlets vs Glasgow (I didnt like that full back), Colin Mcardle on Snorkel Bingo on West FM Saturday morning and Fanzone on Sky, Sunday. Not bad for a weekend.

I headed back down to club Sunday night to get list of players from Saturday game and afterwards I went upto Sun Inn and got my photo of staff in their costumes. Only thing I didn't like was not getting up as the pub was busy.

I came home and thank fully found all the teams playing Sunday won and played well which is more important as I have mini/midi committee meeting tonight and I have gas check tomorrow, great.

I also got told on twitter my blog was cool by Alexander Jones, thats the first time that's happenned, so thank you.

This week so far


Health is ok the now, still feel fine.

On Tuesday I was down at rugby club watching new tills come in. It lasted for a while but we got there. My team got me there and I got home in time for dinner. Went to quiz Tuesday night and we were 2nd or 3rd. I got bus home with 1 minute to spare.

Wednesday I caught up with some telly. Saw Stuart (a regular reader of this) and did wwe stuff.
I went back home and watched even more telly until 7pm where I headed for Club. It was quiz night and our team won again. Watching Batman movies may not be great, but you know who the pengiun is.

Thursday morning I was at EACH for 915. Got my bloods done and got a physio assessment. There is a class in afternoon that I can goto to see how I actually am physically. One of the physios I already knew from time in hospital.

Thursday afternoon I headed to Glasgow and Braehead. As some of you know me and Ian are going to WWE Smackdown, but I had never been to Braehead arena, but I know now how to get in.

I headed back to Glasgow on the bus and got lunch. Trouble was when I was at lunch this place had wifi but I couldn't use twitter, grrr.

At 7pm Tron Legacy was being shown at Glasgow Science Centre IMAX. As you guys may have known I had a free voucher to see 23 minute preview which opens fully on my birthday. When we went to seats we were told it was a sell out. I think what happenned was all the vouchers were taken but not everyone came because there was seats left. Now this is my first 3d movie and as you know I wear specs. When text came on the screen I know I had to put my normal glasses on and the IMAX 3d specs fit infront of normal glasses.

The film looks amazing (I opened my mouth at 3d graphics and the prespective (wow!)). Some of it is in 2d but you still keep glasses on. The screen is HUGE. The staff in Glasgow Science Centre are really helpful, bubbly (even the projectionist) who was getting people watching the film to talk on camera. I had said no to it. I dont tend to do cameras. I promised at the end I would do a blog on it, so here it is.

I headed back to Glasgow and got 9pm bus to Kilmarnock then headed for train station as I discovered there was a 9.51pm train to Auchinleck which gave me 10 minutes to get from Bus Station to Train Station. Did that easily.

Right I am going to do my twitter #followfridays next:-


I use followfriday for people who actually interact with me (with only a few exceptions) so if you want on this list, interact with me (that excludes spammers)!

Tomorrow, Butlins reunion at Rabbies Bar Ayr in afternoon, better not drink too much Irn Bru. Next Cumnock RFC Halloween Party and Charity Halloween Party at Royal.

Sunday just quite day down at rugby.

You all have a great Friday.
