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?

Sunny Auchinleck

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

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.

My ticket

This is the reason I went out Sunday.
It was to buy ticket for The Lafontaines at Auchinleck Festival on 6th-8th August. This ticket is £5 at Railway Hotel.

Thursdays dinner

It was more pasta with tin of tomato, onion, herbs, mince. It was very filling, I couldn't finish it with orange juice, it was just too filling. Still good though.

Today was a bit busy. Me and my team had to top up my phone. I had some appointments I got notified for. We also got more mince which was used above. My Printer arrived today and was working fine I think until I took it off the wrong port. Its working fine now. I also did not lift printer up my stairs, it was a bit big (or the box was).

I have some visits quite soon as well.

My week so far

Friday was cool, did a small bit of rugby club as fixtures changed again. I am getting a new printer for home so thats good.

On Saturday I had Sally, Alex, Richard and Xander. It had been cloudy all day and was still wet. Ian came down and we watched Germany 3rd place playoff and I watched Star Trek IV.

Sunday I saw my cousin Peachy and watched Spain win.

Yesterday I didn't do much as I have to readjust to getting up about 8am. I watched Chuck which I enjoy. Today I have been to Tesco, Auchinleck Library and back home with my team. I got notification I am getting DLA now which has got me in a good mood. The sniffer dogs have been down my street, but not up my end of the street.

Mum

At my home. I couldn't have a pie ofcourse, I don't know how much salt is inside it.

I wish I enjoyed today. I haven't felt well for most of today. I tried lots of sleep. That didn't work. I lost 3 kilos yesterday. My energy isnt very high. Stayed in all day.

I did watch Andy Murray game and Nadal was better.

Andy

At my home

Wednesday and Thursday

On Wednesday we went shopping me and support went shopping. I still have a limit on how much standing/walking I can do physically. We finished the shopping with the correct stuff even with rubbish labels in lidl. We got home and i relaxed some more and we MADE spagbol for dinner from scratch after 4pm with my support (I have to know whats in it). It was great. Last night I went to the rugby club quiz and the team I was in won.



Today was a bit harder. I went to East Ayrshire Community Hospital for INR check (it was ok) with my support. Next I waited for a bus, it was 30 minutes after the test. After that I was tired I was going to Cumnock Health Centre for prescription (it wasn't ready). I taxi'd home and sat down. My support was in later and I told them what happenned. I finished my spagbol for dinner tonight (more economical) Tonight I relax.

Haircut

Already had 3 today and had haircut at Tommy Barber Shop, Auchinleck.
Its better day today.

update

View Larger Map

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.

Video

Finally a quick video showing lots of black areas, hurrah.

Back Garden

My back garden this morning with lots of snow away.

full picture

This is the full picture.

Saturday 945

Ok got up and got this sight of the grass across and thought I needed a bit of a close up, so this is the close-up of the grass. A lot of the Snow is away after lots of rain last night. Trust me I went to bed at 1.15am but couldn't get to sleep to around 3am with wind and rain on the window.

Last

Thats me home, I tested to see how deep the snow was below my pavement, Its nearly as deep as me putting my size 10 shoes in straight down (like kicking).

Auchinleck Pictures

The path

Another view of the path from the bottom of the path to actually show what East Ayrshire Council cleared.

Another picture of main street

Another point where I could show the road being clear, but the pavements not.
