Updating time, well its been about 3 weeks

Hello everyone I hope we are all good. Well lets say whats been happening in past 3 weeks. Last time I had just moved back to Cumnock. 1. I have been on less buses 2. It takes 10 minutes to get to rugby club. Firstly I had a number of people in town about a house warming, 2 problems. 1. I didn't want every person I know in pub to come to my house, 2. It wasn't everyone that helped me move, it was the guys in rugby club. So I think about this, number one my parents came last Tuesday 5th September, couldn't hold it before then.
So I made a plan. I knew the 1st xv were playing Hyndland FP on Saturday 8th, which are based for playing at Scotstoun (same place as Glasgow Warriors). So I sent a small facebook event to the people who moved me. Some of them were busy with work and others already had plans, but a few people said yes. Now on Saturday we won 76-10 including 15 tries so to say the whole team were very happy, would be an understatement, but that is only the first game. I want 17 other performances in league like that! So when I say in changing room I am having a housewarming, that gets quite a lot of attention and the fact I had bought beer
Thats is only some of the beer. I had John Smiths, blue WKD and crisps and my club biscuits. It started slowly with Stevie, Sandra, Morton while Andy Murray was playing and even had x factor on. I gave everyone who visited a tour of the house. I also set a deadline of the fact I was going to pub at 11pm to get everyone out. It was to goto rugby at East Kilbride next morning, but at 10pm I realised having a drink with people in meant I wasn't going to be feeling good at 7.30am and help with team, so I phoned Rab and let him know (before it was too late). So when Andy Murray was at end of semi final nearly the whole 1st XV arrived with girlfriends, I think it was nearly 20 people in my house, which made it nice and warm. Here are the photos image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host at 11pm I went to several pubs and I said it was one of the greatest days I have had. I woke up at about 9am, quite tired and just about got through next day. Then Monday night after fully recovering from weekend I watched Andy Murray match from 9pm on Sky Sports and went along and watched the whole match. I had only put a fiver on Murray at 9/4 which I got last night. I watched it until the end and Andy won at 2.05am and I was getting up at 7.30. I hoped I would fall asleep quickly, I went to sleep about 2.40am Well after getting WWE stuff to Stuarts family I decided to google how long to goto Dunblane. It showed I could go there at get back about 8pm, that seemed fine, after dealing with all my business. So I headed for bus to Auchinleck and got train to Glasgow Central. I got there at 13.32. I walked the right route and got to Queen Street 13.40. When I looked up route it was 14.10 but I got there and there was 13.48. I got to Dunblane about 2.40pm. I went round Dunblane, got a nice photo of post box in gold and basically got train back to Glasgow at 1605. I did a couple of things in Glasgow which were good and got 1742 train down. image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host The one thing I might be a bit negative on Dunblane folk, I only saw 2 shops celebrating Andy Murray's win. They could learn a lot from Auchinleck and every shop saying good luck to Talbot (even if I aint a fan), but Auchinleck people know how to make it look good. Last night I went to quiz and won play your cards right for only £28, we won the quiz as well so I said yesterday was a lucky day, so you never know Andy Murray winnining US Open maybe have made it a lucky day, I hope it continues. So lets see what happens today.

Cumnock Juniors FC vs Rob Roy

On Saturday Cumnock RFC were going to be playing Glasgow East but it got called off, so I went to Cumnock Juniors against Rob Roy instead, here are the videos I took. It took 3 hours to upload them. Now I am warning you there will be some swearing during some of the videos. Last bit I did NOT film the man who invaded the pitch.

Well I am in Cumnock again!

Well the last blog was last Tuesday, when for 1 I did it on my phone. Well how did we get on. I went home, forgot to get my presicription and packed up more stuff. I went back to Cumnock at 4pm to collect it, so I was ok. At 630 the army which is Cumnock Rugby Club came. I think it was about 10 people helped. A big thank you to them all. It was 2 runs in the van and loads of cars behind us. At about 8pm everyone left and I unpacked bags. I have a lot of t-shirts. I tried to get sky to work, but it wouldn't and I didn't at that point have a freeview box, so found my dvd player and used it for a short time. I phoned mum and brother told them I was going to pint at 10pm and dont phone me. I slept like a log from just after midnight to 7am. When we were moving stuff someone said we couldn't move cooker from electrics, so left it there and consulted council. We could, so with help from rugby club again I got electrician to disconnect it and arrange for getting it across to Cumnock next day. My computer was still over in Auchinleck so I used it over there for a short time during the day. Thursday I woke up at 7am and decided I needed curtain rails so went to Kilmarnock on 740 bus. Having a power shower has its uses. I got back to Cumnock 1020 with a hoover as well. At 11am I was due down at club for jukebox/pool man. I got home at 2pm and booked a taxi for 230 for everything else at Cumnock (the van was coming that night). So I took more boxes over after having lunch. When Mark came it took 15 minutes even though I was tired at 6pm. It was straight back to club for training, which we were all busy. Friday morning was a bit mad in my house. I got sky engineer arrive at 9am (when he was due at midday-5pm, but I didn't mind). 930 cooker connected. the phone line went live overnight so, but homehub didn't come until 130pm but it was all set with everything that needed to be connected done. I still had to wait on someone to double check an alarm on Friday. They came at 6pm after me sitting in house all day. Friday Night Destination Anywhere were on Craighead and were good as normal.
Late Friday night I got told a funeral for George McSeveny was 10am Saturday morning at Auchinleck. This is the man who took one of the girl rugby players sponsor sheets and I couldn't say he definately won as I didn't have all the sheet (they did easily). So I just made it to it and relaxed for rest of the day. On Sunday I went to Highland Games, it was great when it wasn't raining. image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host image host This morning I have checked Summerslam results, handed in keys for Auchinleck, done shopping, put results in for club and now I can relax for a few hours. Tuesday I have committee meeting at 7pm, Wednesday night rugby club quiz, Thursday usual morning and training, Friday (nothing so far), Saturday Lanark and Sunday Registration Day, Monday rugby ready course. So thats you all upto date. See some of you around.
