Hello

How are we all out there.

The health I am feeling better, a lot more energy to use.

Technology devices:-

Sky is great fun, I worked out not to try and watch 3 channels on sky as it cancels a recording. This means I sky+ a few things like the Stargate and Startrek franchises, rugby, football, NCIS: Los Angeles and music. It definately means I don't watch Jeremy Kyle Show.

I am definately getting used to #Iphone 3gs. Some of the apps are good and some aint. Dragon does not understand me (or it just doesn't understand west of scotland). I got told about rugby scorer app and the timer doesn't work. I also had to unlink foursquare to facebook. My o2 signal has been rubbish at home lately. The wifi is fine at home but currently my phone has no signal. The other main issue is battery power. I did buy an extra battery off ebay so that makes it easier.Good apps include the sky related ones, nextbuses which is useful when you have a bus pass. The mapping is really good as well.

My music gallery (which I need as radio station apps need wifi (which isnt largely publically used down here) has Usher, Foo Fighters, Katy Perry, Emma's Imagination, Eminem, Jon Allen and a few others.

I also use the phone for podcasts ofcourse. I listen to Chris Moyles, Social Media Podcast, the Thumbcast (thanks for getting me to watch Metropolis) and I am listening to quiet News day while I type this.

I have finally decided to go to tomorrows New Media Breakfast in Glasgow tomorrow. I have thought about going to this for a while. I have listened to just about all the podcasts. I will finally see some of the guys I listen to all the time.

As Cumnock RFC webmaster I use twitter, email, facebook, audioboo and club website via pitchero to communicate our message. I do have this little blog as well for me. I used to use it more with pictures but Iphone doesn't use blogger. I do have lots of time as I don't work due to health issues.

So this morning I had 3 health people to see, that's done now, tomorrow is Glasgow and a train at 6.30am tomorrow morning. Saturday I have bbq at woodroad park in Cumnock and Sunday Cumnock RFC with lots of games.

Update on little old me

I hope we are all good out there, just a quick update from me.

I have my sky in and I am enjoying it, I find lots of sci-fi to watch. It's good watching wwe again (and forwarding past adverts). It does take time to keep up especially with lots on espn and sky at the weekend.

I have also got an iphone. I ordered it on the Sunday online from o2 (which is good for signal). It also helps I have WIFI at home and Cumnock RFC, people in the club know the code. The trouble was I didn't receive it until Friday morning (when I was busy at home). That meant 4 nights when I had to wait in. I have kept the same mobile number, so don't need to send mass text to tell anyone I have new number.

The only other trouble is BATTERY POWER, I go through it very quickly. I took a 2 youtube videos on Saturday (they wern't great). Also I have twitter sorted on it and I have some eminem album on fae itunes.

The health is feeling better, I can stay standing for longer and a bit of walking. Having the buspass definitely has it's uses. I aint watching the STV Nightshift as much now.

The INR level is fine as well, so we are good.

Ofcourse I am getting more to do in Cumnock RFC as well with the season starting at haste now. This Saturday the S1 and older have a sponsor day where they buy a £2 ticket and get a couple of goodies. Checking the club news on pitchero and facebook gives details. Committee meetings are going as well, where we are definitely busy.

That's it from me, you all do well out there.

My weekend

That was quite a weekend.

As you can see from earlier in the blog Cumnock RFC played Marr. Marr are a good team but the boys have been worked hard. Both teams were out. Sally was coming to visit me at 4pm so I left the game a few minutes early to get up the hill. I have a chair to watch the rugby as well and its nice and light to carry.

Next I went home in Auchinleck as Sally was due. I had a banana sandwich (Harry) and some tea. Sally, Alex and Xander arrived and we headed to mum's. Unknown to most of you (atleast online) I was heading to Fife to give someone a surprise. Mum and Andy had just been to Ireland for a holiday. Their bus driver was not good. After a couple of hours I left with Alex and co.

We got to Fife and had a lovely piece of meat for supper and a Caffreys.

I watched Match of the Day and there was some fine goals that night. It was a good day and I had a fairly good sleep, my usual.

On Sunday I had my usual cereal then a fry-up (grilled). My nephew David is 19 years old in a few weeks and I was going to get his birthday present with him on Sunday as well.

David my brother with Terri had said he was coming down to Sally's. When David arrived I got warned he was here and gave him a big surprise by saying hello. The look was great. That's why I didn't publicise the trip. I heard how David was as he had been in hospital (It takes quite a bit to get me making this kind of trip, but David is one of them).

After that David (nephew) and me headed to Kirkcaldy to get his birthday. David got some footwear and DVD (I think). The trip around shops did tire me out. I won't really do that kind of shopping trip again. We went back to Leven when we were done and I stayed in for rest of the night.

Today as you can see I went from Glenrothes to Glasgow then Glasgow to Auchinleck. Cheers to Sally for lift to Glenrothes.

Tomorrow I am going to get Sky+ installed because my freeview signal keeps on disappearing so I am looking forward to that, I am even getting sport. Wednesday I have dentist (I guess a check-up). I got referred for that. Thursday I am back at INR clinic at EACH. You think I have a busy week?

Buchanan bus station

The bus fae fife was on time. Just waiting for bus home now. Its a bit wet here as well.

Just leaving Glenrothes

Got a lift this morning, next stop Buchanan Bus Station.

Cumnock vs Marr

Kilmarnock vs Cumnock RFC

These are the pictures from tonights game.

Cumnock v Irvine rugby pictures

This was the first game at home. Irvine were Premiership 3 last season (4 divisions above us). Even though we lost 5 tries, every player did their best and it will help all the players and coaching staff (in 1 of the 2 games on that day). I took my chair with me and had a good day.

Audioboo on Friday 13th

Chicken curry

Well for dinner tonight I had a chicken curry. My team came in early. It took 20 minutes per 500 grams in the oven and it was nearly 1.5kg so it eventually took 1 hour 30 minutes. The rice took 15 minutes. We also had tomatoes, mild curry powder, onions and oil. I couldn't finish it, I enjoyed it that much.

Dinner

This mornings audioboo

The Ghosties

This was the first time I have seen them about this year. John, Malcolm and Graeme were as briliant as usual. They did have a large crowd. Talbot Park was very busy. There was a 10 minute quee for food. The weather probably did help.

Inde code

Inde code were a good band. They played down at Talbot Park, supporting The Ghosties. It was a good mix of original and covers. They are good lads.

Sunny Auchinleck

I was waiting for bus which passes my street. It was late. Sunday is a sunny day thankfully.

The lafontaines 2

The LaFontaines

I am sorry for the pictures, they looked better when I took them. A good crowd had arrived by this point, just over 50 and the guys got to rap all night. It was the usual mix and really enjoyed it.

The Symptoms - Auchinleck Festival

First band up. They are from Kilmarnock. They do original songs and some covers but they are quite loud, which is good. They do use bebo and myspace. The guys are definately worth checking out.

Saturday 7th August

Well another Saturday has come. This week has been fairly quite. I just kept myself busy with Cumnock RFC website. Pitchero loaded in the scottish reserve leagues (2nds) so I could add them. I decided after talking to friend NOT to head to Clydebank 10s as I wasn't sure (and I have something on tonight). I have also THANK YOU PLAYERS for memberships to add. I paid mine a few weeks ago. I also had a bit of work to do on mini/midi registration day.

On the other front I have received my buspass, which is making life easier. Also with a bus through Backrogerton (the area of town I live in) that helps as well. My INR was fine on Thursday so I aint there for a few weeks but I have a ECG 24 hour recording next week. My sleep until last night had got better after coming back from Sally's.

The Auchinleck Festival started last night with the Macdonald Brothers. I know some people had a good night with seeing people pass after 2am on their way home. I didn't go to community centre to see them. The LaFontaines are on The Railway Hotel tonight and I am looking forward to it. Depending on how I feel tomorrow I may go down and watch The Ghosties at Talbot Park.

I hope you all have a good weekend!

Glasgow Thistles Sports Club

Bouncy castle with Alex & Sally

I was at my sisters in Leven, Fife for Xander's 2nd birthday party. I got there Friday night.

I went on Saturday with Richard to Dunfermline to watch The A Team. Some of the action in that movie is amazing, its not just a copy of TV series which some of us will remember.

On Sunday we had Richard +1, David, Xander Sally's boys. We had Alex, David, Terri, Sally, Mum Isabel, Andy, me all there.

It was very busy. Mum and Andy had done all the food and you can see the bouncy castle above.

It was a good party and we left Monday morning and now I am home. I have even just had a snooze.

At sisters

Fridays dinner

After talking to my sister Sally and discovering what I am eating this weekend I agreed me having pizza tonight would be a good idea.

So this is my form of tomato, pineapple and cheese. I dont really do mushrooms, but I do like pineapple which is the change in the recipe.

It wasn't bad. Now I am waiting about before I head over to sisters.

A busy week ahead

Oh it looks as if I am going to have a busy week ahead (which we have been planning for a few weeks).

While I do this blog I am listening to @ms_cornwall on blip fm

Tomorrow I have 1 of my daily team at 9.30am to 10.30am. Next I have another member of the team at 11am. I am scheduled to get a 48 bus to Ayr at 12.15pm to head for lunch. I should get there at about 1.15. I havent seen this mate in a few years, I am looking forward to it.

I will head back around 3.15pm to Auchinleck, not going near Mauchline where the roadworks are the now. At night I have the Cumnock RFC Monthly Quiz at 8.15pm which my team usually does well.

Thursday should be fairly quite. I have to collect some items from a shop and not a lot else. I got a week off East Ayrshire Community Hospital. Oh yeah and I will have a birthday present to wrap.

Friday for most of the day should be fairly quite. I have my team for the day before I get taken to my sisters in Leven, Fife. I was looking up google maps today and I don't really like street view on it. Saturday looks good if you can find the A Team and Sunday I have a birthday party to head to. On Monday night if I am back I have a committee meeting for the mini/midi section.

So you think I will be busy.

Missed childhood

I got this via email for Russia Got Talent. Thought I would put it up here:

Update time

Well I have been trying to stay quite this week. My appointment down at East Ayrshire Community Hospital in Cumnock went well yesterday, I aint there next week. I spoke to a friend called Frank who I haven't seen for a while and I am going to (probably) have lunch next week with him.

My sleep patterns seem to be getting better which is a relief. Wednesday to Thursday was only twice and Thursday to Friday was straight through. I did karaoke last night as well with Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day which was my usual way.

On the rugby front the fixtures appear to be done now but now I hope the members get paying their memberships as I have started to do the list. The preseason games start in a couple of weeks. Apart from that I have tried to do nothing at night.
