It's Wednesday again, this one is going to be long.

Hello guys, how are we all doing. Its been another bus'ish week for me.

Wednesday afternoon lunch was good, but it wasn't cheap at Elliots in Prestwick. Usually I eat my dinner in about 5 minutes. When I go for lunch with Frank we spend 2 hours there. Wait time was ok but no menus were on the table. The mushroom soup I was was good temperature. About 7/10.

I then hadsome pasta which didn't look much at first. It actually was. I din't add chicken to it but was still good. 8/10. The staff asked if we wanted a sweet, we said no but had coffee. It when I saw the price and my mates confirming that was expensive which maybe put me off. I don't think I will pick to go back to Elliots.

I came back to Cumnock that night and my team lost the quiz. There was only 2 teams there.

Thursday I was down in club in morning and that went smoothly. I also watched some telly that afternoon. Went to the training as usual and spoke to all the usual people I speak to.

Friday I was busy in Cumnock in the morning and had fun at night as Blair has moved to TC's Bar after The Sun Inn changing over.

Saturday wasn't the usual Saturday. I watched England game of rugby world cup and they played very well. I am not an england supporter, but I had to admit that. I then headed to Ayr (during New Zealand game). I bought some clothes which seemed fine and a card for my dads 75th Birthday. My mum phoned me at 10.45 when I got my breakfast in Ayr (I only had a coffee when I got up that morning).

I then got 11am bus home to Auchinleck, only 1 problem I had card and present and wrapping paper but NO selotape as I discovered when I tried to wrap it. So I headed food shopping and got sellotape there as well. I got home about 1250, watched some football on Sky and SAT DOWN.

After 2pm I got a bath and got ready. Now most of the family had been invited to a birthday party. Now understand I didn't pick who went and who or not to tell about it. You will understand shortly why I typed that.

I headed down to Cumnock, corrected mistakes on televisions and headed to Lochside House Hotel. I took a number of photos on my phone, but sorry they aint going here. Its upto the person I photographed to request them on here!

The food was well presented. I had the scotch Broth which was quite good. 7/10 Now my family think I am turning slightly into a food critic. I couldn't possibly comment! I then had Haddock (which was ok) 7/10 with Frozen based chips, which wernt too warm (4/10) with salad. Overall it was 5/10. I can't fault the presentation though. I then had sticky Toffee Pudding. Great temperature, well presented 8.5/10. Overall it was quite good but I am picky when it comes to chips.

We went back to mums for a few hours and I headed down to TCs and lsitened to DJ Jon which was great as always.

Now Sunday, I got up for Scotland game, but someone had been informed about the party and they were not pleased, to put it politely, so between 8.30-9.30am my phone rang 4 times, people asked what I was doing and I said TRYING TO WATCH THE RUGBY. What i could see Scotland were still making mistakes and as we all know it did cost us in the end.

I then headed down to Micro Rugby at the club, to serve coffees and teas and cans of juice. There was a game planned in afternoon but that was cut short. I headed home and relaxed. Monday was a quite day for rugby (phew). I had most of my reports the Sunday night, which is when I posted them. I watched lots of telly and took quite a number of caps including

Tuesday was a bit busier. Got up watched WWE Raw and thought, usual, usual.

Then headed to CHIP appointment and that went fine. No hard questions. They are at Visions next Thursday 6th October.

Next got down and gave Stuart and family tape (hello). Did my usual messages next and headed home for midday. Then I started on World Cup Breakfast this weekend including poster and emails.

Headed back to Cumnock and went to Visions Gym. That was fun. Headed across to club and helped Bobby sort out drains. I have a poster to do to make people put nothing down those sinks. I DID NOT LIKE THAT IT.

Headed home and had dinner before heading back down for training. Lats night The Plamphs won the quiz after beating Sangria in tiebreaker. After that headed across to TCS and chilled. It had been a long day.

This morning woke up at 7.20am and have been busy as you can see at the top capping Wendy Hurrell.

I told you this would be a long blog, but I needed to do this one. At this point I would normally put some more music on, but the LaFontaines have no more clean videos I can use, so try this one.

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.

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.

Well lets see, I think it's time for a bit more of a update. I stay at home in Auchinleck 95% of the time. My bed is very comfortable. I have my weetabix in the morning and then the drugs. It also helps having this at home (the pc). Worst expense is when I have to use taxis. From the Auchinleck to East Ayrshire Community Hospital is just over a £5. Next Thursday is going to be busy. I have EACH at 9.05am and then my GP and 1030. I went to the church tonight (I arrange a lift to get me there which I have to thank). I am going Thursday night after the busy morning. Last Saturday I took a walk to topup my gas and nearly killed myself. Now I am stopping 5+ on the uphill parts to keep my energy. I think it's working. I bought some Red Kola (not Irn Bru as I said on facebook). It was delicious. The worst part I discovered this week was a BT bill which I went off in 2 weeks actually went off this weekend. I was anyway so I didn't really worry about it.

That covers it.

Thursday 9th July

Bus into Cumnoock









Me
Hello guys, well I finally have a day off where I didn't get up early. I think I had better do some work on the cumnockrugby website (the old one).
Also I hope everybody rugby connected gets the detail on 10th October event.

But the main plan is to relax.

Noel Gallagher from Oasis was on Chris Moyles this morning and was very good.

I have also signed the petition on Johnnie Walker plant owned by Diageo closing plant in Hurlford, losing over 700 jobs in an East Ayrshire economy which doesn't need that.

On a lighter note I have been watching more BBC Reporting Scotland with Catriona Shearer being main anchor at the moment.

Torchwood is also very good this week. Really enjoying it.
