  • Away Back.

    Yip the kids club has there outing to the safari park so i get to go twice in one week. wish i could find the lead for my camera got some great pics the other day.

    Feel as is i have'nt doe much blogging last few days but as carebears away and i'm doing nowt this weekend i'm going to bombard blogland with my rubbish

  • what happened?

    I've missed the quiz for week's when i do remember i can't bloody find it. Going back to bed to watch Dragons Den>:-(

  • Knackered

    Going to bed, carebears away to her annual trip to my brothers and sis in laws. Safari park was awesome,took loads of pics. Having an early night , got my book to read my herbal tea and bottle of water. Night all

  • Numpty

    A few week's ago the monthly housing association news letter had a section to fill in if you'd like to be put into a draw to go on a trip to the Safari Park. We got a place:DD. Got Carebear and myself up early this morning so we could get to the meeting point in plenty of time. Jackets and shoes on we were ready to leave the house, then i looked at the letter. Not getting picked up til half ten, i was convinced it was half 9. What a bloody numpty i am:crazy:

  • Tonight Is The Night

    I'm finally getting my implant at 7 o'clock this evening. I can't wait, i've had the appointment for months. I realise some people may think i'm being selfish for not wanting more children but i have my reasons mainly health ones. After this implant runs out in three years i'll be getting steralised. I have a gorgeous daughter who will be 10 next year and if i did want another child then i would have done it whilst she was under 5. Please remember that my daughter father is an asshole who gave me no support and through this i don't have enough trust to be left with 2 children to struggle to bring up. I'm now unemployed so it really is'nt fair to expect the goverment to pay for my family.

  • An Apologie To Carebear

    I was rather horible in a blog earlier about her. In true fact now i've had a decent sleep, without her on Friday i woudl have ben well and truly goosed. Although there was a few of us away camping when we we're coming down the hill everyone else went ahead to get wood for the fire. Carebear and myself were still at least an hour away from the tent when i fell. There was only roughly 3 hours of daylight left and i had'nt brought a torch. She helped me up and checked the road ahead for ditches,mud swamps etc. She spotted a green hut through the tree's that we had past on the way up and navigated us both.
    Because the others were collecting wood they had'nt given it a thought something had happened. So big sorry's to my Carebear,sorry for slating you chickpea x

  • Good/Bad

    Well just back from another beautiful part of Scotland,Glen orkey this time although we did go other places,just set up camp there.
    Keeping this very short,was'nt due back for a few days but on the decent from a hill i fell and buggered my ankle. i am floating on pain killers and valium as Brooke finds it to difficuly to get up off her lazy arse and even get me my slippers. Feel sick with the pain and just want to curl up and cry. I'm so angry with myself for doing my ankle in and honestly think if i had a signal on my phone i would have phoned mountain rescue.

  • 3 in a row

    The other night i read one of notbob posts and he was telling all about a new game he came across. i can't get past level 7 but i'm hooked on that plus another, think it's called Egypt or something but the word egypt os in the title somewhere. So before i have to go drag carebear out of bed to go away i'm going to have just a quick game whilst drinking my coffee

  • Staying Put For Tonight

    The car needs some work doing to it so my little trip is now taking place tomorrow. It's not my car but it is the mode of transport i'm using. My dilema i wsa put in last week has now left the sanctuary of my bedroom. No i did'nt have a large box marked boytoy under my bed. Sun is shining today so at least the ground will be a bit dryer tomorrow. Got terrible toothache and been up since 6 this morning editing pictures so i've in true trulyfab tradition took a few valium and i'm now going to sleep in carebears bed as it's a better nest than mine.

  • Away To Sleep In The Tent

    No i have'nt been evicted, we have decided bugger the rain. Tent has been defumed from TITP sleeping bags washed and all rain clothes currently hanging over the door in the hope that there dry for tomorrow. As i said before i'm going to go caving this time round. If Bear Grylls can sleep in a cave than so can i. Don't know when i'll be back but i'm working on Monday for 2 weeks (kids club) so must be back by Sunday. Pray the sun comes out please peeps as it's been nothing but rain since i was born (or so it seems)
    Remember my birthday bash at www.retrofest.co.uk
    you are all welcome but your paying for our own ticket :))

    Probably do a wee post before i set off with the hiking boots in the morning

  • Oh Just Had To Share

    I got me some new funky shoes the other day whilst browsing the sale's. I'm not known for proper shoes infact my avatar says it all, and there's a story behind that shoe in my pic (the other got bounced off Pete Dohertys napper at a gig) i did'nt throw it your honour it slipped off my foot and a random picked it up and launced it. Back to my new shoe's there 2 shades of orange with little velcro straps at the back. Need to get a pic of them cause i think they look super. You can now go on with your buissness after wasting a minute reading about my sannie fetish

  • Oh The Future's Planned

    Remember before the summer holidays i wsa doing various courses? well i just got next terms list of courses in and i've just emailed the c.e.c saying i want on them all. Walking club is starting back up on Tuesdays. Wednesday is a time for us group which deals with things liek breast awareness anti-bullying and a variety of more.Wednesday is digital photography,Thursday is hair beauty and make-up. And Friday working in early years education and childcare.
    I did apply to college and heard thta i'm on the reserve list so i'm not holding my breathe that people will drop out as it is a popular course (music technology) the tutor guy (would've shagged him over the table) suggested film,radio and media studies but i'm not really a t.v person and fall asleep at most films so i don't think giving me a place would be a wise choice.
    Mumsies just off the phone, i had called her earlier as i thought i'd lost my key but i spotted it in the garden. Must be more careful. Oh yeah Mummsie was telling me my brothers coming up in a weeks time to get Carebear and take her down to yorkshire for a week. Brother does'nt phone me since we fell out in February but i'm not going to be a div and not let him see his only Neice.
    coffee time now me thinks

  • Not As Confused Today

    Woke up bright eyed and busy tailed, at the back of midnight. Carebear left me sleeping on the couch, i do remember watching American Dad but the end of it well i have no memory of it so i suppose i dozed off during it.
    Best of it wsa when i did wake up i thohught the electric had gone as the house wsa in total darkness unliek the usual blackpool illuminations.
    Well been out and done a spot of food shopping, steakpie potato's and corn on the cob and thats for carebear i'm having a big old veggie pizza.
    Still a tad confused about something else but well i can't control this situation so no point hankering on it. I am more nrevous about what one of my friends are going to say when they see what i've managed to do to there **. I was entrusted with them and so far one has died and another 2 look like there ready for the scrap heap. Should nevr have agreed to do this for them but they were in a worse preticament than myself. Should really start a mantrs of just say no just say no just say well alright then but if anything goes to pot it's your fault. Ah bugger it smile people it may be raining but there's always plenty of sunshine in your heart

  • Confused

    I think that descriibes me to a tee today. I have walked about in a trance since Carebear left on Friday. I did have a few drinks Friday night but nothing to much as i just simply could'nt be arsed. Saturday i woke up at 7 and stayed in my bed til 4, i only got up since i needed cigs from the shop. Did'nt even brush my hair just put my hood up and made a dash for it, layed on the couch for the rest of the night. Dr gave me some pretty ass kicking pain relief for them so zombied out watching Big Brother, Glad Karly went, it accent drove me insane, would've prefered Noiren went.
    When i woke up at 6 i felt like the inside of my skull had been replaced cotton wool. Carebears home about half an hour. Ass wipe wouldnt keep her one more day so i could sleep, i have slept so much and still goosed. She has been givn strict instructions not to go past certain parts of the street. Going to go lie back on the couch. I don't think i'm heading for a cold or anything just need to recharge my duracells.
    I am confused about something else but hey hoo don't want to share

  • Thought It Was Summer

    Well took carebear swimming this afternoon when we left the house the sun was shining and not a single cloud in the sky. I done a few laps as carebear had found a few of her friends in the pool so i was at ease knowing i could concentrate on my lap times without stopping to check she wsa alright. I left her in the pool while i went and had a shower, got dressed then popped into the cafe for a coffee. The swimming pool cafe looks over the pool so i could ensure from a comfortable position that no foling around was taking place. After an hour or so i waved her out and to our horror the skies had opened and we were no longer safe from the sanctuary of the sun. No jackets just summer tops,skirts and sandals.
    My mate is just back from London, her 14 year old daughter was away to a modelling agency getting her portfolio done and i must admit i'm really impressed with her photos. I know there is a grey cloud over modelling and i would'nt be to keen on my daughter taking it up. Maybe the fact that she's young will put her off by the time she's legally an adult.
    Oh another nasty dream last night, i was at Kingtuts having a drink with an ex and i went outside to have a cig. The building across the road windows blew out through an explotion and my back got covered in glass, then all the buildings surrounding me started blowing there windows out and there was blood coming down my face. No-one was there and i could'nt get back into tuts so i ran down the road to a hospital but no-one at A&E would attend to me. Funny thing was when i was in tuts my ex had bought me a straight vodka and i was moaning at him to get me a mixer but i told the people at the next table who we're trying to light a birthday cake i was glad he got me the wrong drink because as soon as his back is turned i'm going to walk out without telling him. That's the second nasty dream i've had this week and i can opnly put it down to smoking a bit of pot at the weekend and i have'nt touched it since. When i stopped smoking it a while ago i was having weird dreams. Lesson learned i think,no more pot ever again.
    Going to go now as i can hear a conversation a few of my neighbours are having which i don't really want to know but then again if they want to wash there linen in public!!!

  • T IN THE PARK (ELBOW)

  • Sale Time

    After we finished up at the community garden today me and carebear went into the city to get her some new clothes from Primark. Was walking past BHS on Sauchiehall street when i saw there sale sign so we popped in for a wee look. Carebear got 2 dresses and a top i got a dress and the grand total at the till was five pounds. There sale is fantabulous and the girl serving us told me that there's more stock on it's way out. So all you people going your holipops it might well be worth your while having a little peek. Primark of course never lets us down. 3 pairs of trousers 3 tops 5pack of socks 2 pair of shoes and hair bands for carebear and a dress for me 28 quid.
    Really looking forward to our community garden open day, we repotted 38 strawberry plants and done alot of weeding today so fingers crossed after the open day more people will want to join in. Most of the veggies wont be ready for another few weeks but we have just now enough for roughly 40 people to have a really nice lunch. The co-ordinator has arranged fro someone to come in and give tips to parents on how to make ther ekids eat more veg. Shame not alot of people areinvolved just now as i can see how much carebear is enjoying the experience and will now without thinking about it pick off a lettuce leaf or dig up a carrot to eat, muck and all:yes:
    Away to finish making dinner now and try on our new clothes

  • Think That May Be The Cause

    I wrote well typed a blog earlier about a nasty dream i had last night, whilst tucking into a pot of coleslaw with other fridge bits earlier it occoured to me that last night myself and a fellow T tripper had a wee bit of a jalapeno contest. It went a bit like this...who can eat the jar fastest.Ok so jalapenos are'nt that nippy if you know the correct way to eat them but we took it a step further by drinking the juice from the jar so thats what i'm putting my nighmarish dream down to.

    The housing Association has contracted painters to paint the railings,window frames,doors etc in our ickle street (oh i was looking at my house on google earth,it looks alright from a distance) Carebear took it upon herself to ensure that every blind in the house was opened,i would'nt have minded but i have done hee haw since i got back home yesterday so the place is upside down and inside out, in other words it's a dump. Normally i would'nt have bothered my t-shirt about that but wow one of the painters was wow as in would you like a cup of coffee wow. House has been put back in order just incase they have to do a second coat tomorrow. What i don't understand though is the fact it's ben raining all day and last time i looked it was only outside they we're revamping.

    Now for something completly different, Those people who choose to go to Sweden to have an assisted demise do so out of there own choice. You would'nt allow an animal to live in pain and distress so why allow it to happen to a human being? Many of us have watched a family member or friend have an agonising disease and lets be truthful here people,when they do pas over to the other side how many have said "at least there no longer in pain"? Be honest with yourself. From what i understand from the news Mrs Downes was suffering a terminal illness and choose not to go through the pain,good on her for having the balls. Mr Downes a well known conductor was loosing his hearing and sight, the guy lived for music and his wife, no doubt they died either holding hands or having a loving cuddle. They lived for each other. How many people die within a year of there spouses demise because they literally can't live without each other? You really can die of a broken heart. I'm all for assisted suicide but only if its for the right reasons and this couple did'nt do it on a whim. I know many wont agree with me but do you know what i don't care, i have my opinions and it's my right to have them. I for one have often had the conversation 'what would you rather have your eye sight or your hearing' well i'm blind in one eye and have 60% vision in the other and that is slowly deteriorating so that is half the battle for my hearing, i'd be lost without music, i know that sounds drastic but i really would.

    Oh and while i'm rabbling can i point out (this annoyed me earlier) i have never posted a comment on anyone's page belittling them so i would appreciate the same in return, If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.I don't do a blog so people can pick up on spelling mistakes or correct me on my grammer etc. Had to get that off my 32 B chest phew.

    Had enough of Glasgow already during these school hols so packing up on Monday and hitting the camping, going to do something a bit different this time and go caving for a week or so all round the west coast, might even go in search of the Tobermoray treasure and other relics that i keep hearing about.

    Did i mention how good Kings Of Leon were on friday night? well they were superb, better than last year and the year before. I love muddy festival shenanigans

  • A Few Thoughts

    Had a wicked weekend.rain on sunday was not to bad and i managed not to lose anything in the mud, atmosphere was electric, company fantabulous. Lot's of random high fives,arm's up in the air,cold water washes and very sore legs from 3 days of dancing.
    Now here's the random thoughts...A few people on here have recently being talking about trust, i want to trust everyone completly but there is one here that i am begining to have doubts about. I'm not sure if they are just looking for attention or are completly genuine. I am hoping that it is the latter as i don't like being took for a ride and i don't really want to be wasting time if they are but i have no way of knowing so i will just have to wait and see if they slip up. I do trust peeps here infact i gave someone my address a few weeks ago so they could send me something,they sent it with pleasure and for that i am grateful and in return she told me where she lived with proof. I have exchanged email addresses and i have the opportunity of meeting another, so that is a mutual trust. Don't get me wrong i don't trust on a whim but through a relationship i have built up.
    Whe i got home yesterday i was put in a predicament by a friend at first i was really unsure but agreed to the favour even though i am still uneasy about it.
    I'm so glad i don't need my vocal chords for blog as my voice is zilch nada gone,i'm a bit peeved about this as i don't get a sexy husky voice,it sounds more like a Yorkshire accent, before i get moaned at i am not saying the yorkshire acent isnt sexy but from a full blown Glaswegian it sounds a bit too weird.
    Can i just add i'm so glad the line up in the paper was wrong i got to see PET SHOP BOYS (feckin awesome peeps) and BLUR (last gig ever apparently) Away to get some honey for my throat now.

  • Home

    And just before the rain fell from the skies thankfully. A tremendous time was had and now i'm going to my bed for 2 days of sleep after i have a hot shower as i'm a tad stinky. Only 11 months 3 weeks and 4 days til next year.Need proper food too. Goodnight for now...aahh pillows how i've missed you

  • All Sorted

    Yes the time has arrived the tent is in the front door, the bag has been packed, camping stove checked and in good working order, the ticket still pinned up on the gig notice board in the kitchen. People T time has arrived this a time tomorrow i will be standing in King Tuts Wah Wah Hut watching The Maccabeees (who just happen to be from down the road. The excitment is a getting a bit much, carebear has told me to shut up, i have been pracyising my random high fives most of the day.
    Spent most of yesterday with the rest of the troops deciding who's taking what, i as usual wil be supplying the dilute juice,lilo's and pee mates for the girls, Caz is supplying the beer,Krissy the booze,Funky the weed and J.B is supplying the pasta and dolmio for a late night munch.
    I know it's a bit early but carebear is away to Greece next year so were booking up for Glasto,TITP,Connect and any other festivals we can get too.
    Should say thaty i will be smoking weed this weekend even though i have being do so so so well but hey such is festival life with the spagetti loops. Weather forecast is good but still packed the waterproofs just incase.

  • Seems like a fitting song

  • Oh Pooh

    I watched the memorial service for Micheal Jackson there and yes it ws emotional as well as entertaining. Not entertaining in a sick way but with all the artists and speakers it was very well done. A few times i felt myself weling up but managed the whole deep breathes to keep it at bay, the bit that got me was when his Daughter Paris shared her love for her father. Oh how the tears rolled down but hey i'm human i'm 32 and was more or less brought up with his music. I never bellieved for one minute that he done anything sordid to the children he was accused of abusing, i think he was just very niave and a true peterpan. Dont leave comments telling me i'm wrong about that, i have my own opinion and i'm not getting dragged into a blog arguement.
    He truly was an amazing person so what if he bleached his skin,it's a common thing believe it or not.Who cares if he had plastic surgery,trust me the world is'nt full of surgeons just because of him.
    I do wonder though about his children, watching the service Latoya seemed to be playing mother and i just wonder if she may take on the role. I'm sure it has already been decided. Wasn't it so brave of his daughter to stand up there and say what she did, her father tried his best to keep them out the limelight and shield them from bad things. Well done her for being so couragous to stand there and speak.

  • We Got Our Waater Back

    It came back on yesterday morning so i didnt have to stand in the garden with bottles of water and chuck them over myself (was rather looking forward to that) Was unexpectantly busy yesterday,went shopping with carebear,the day had started off really nice so we stoaded off without jackets and sure enough the rain poured down, we decided abondogning the walk to asda and settles for tesco instead as it's a dry route from the shoping centre to there. Bumped into my mum well i did'nt see her it was carebear who spied her. Was a bit shocked at that because my mum and her partner have been shunning tesco since an incident involving a credit card. Ended up going down to my mums flat to help her clear up and clean up for the flat getting put on the market. When we finally got home i popped over to my pals who is going to TITP too, we ended up getting rather drunk whilst discusssing what we should do since it's going to be raining most of the week and the ground will be a mud bath. We think we have it all planned though and have decided to camp in the blue zone (as we always do) a bit further up the hill so the wetness may not be as bad. Also think we have the final to see list for the weekend too (yippeee)
    Glad the waters back on as my heads a wee bit thumpy just now so going to go lie on the couch and have some fruit to help relieve the pain

  • just to let you know im..

  • Wel the well is still dry

    Scottish water have on there website that the water is now more or less back on but no sorry the breakfast,lunch,dinner and supper dished are still piled up on the bunker. Myself and a neighbour went to get water earlier and the blue containers that they filled earlier and the containers were a empty. I'm not sure how fussed i am about having water rations,carebear and myself regularly wash in rivers and lakes so getting washed is'nt a problem since there is a river 20 minutes walk away. i still have enough water to fill the kettle tomorrow (not wasting water on dishes) Popping in and out to the garden just now and i can see the containers being refilled but it makes me wonder why they have it on there site that its fixed when it quite obviously is'nt. Going to go watch a film now and fall asleep on the couch watching it,carebears already crashed on the couch and since she's nearly the same height as me carrying her to bed is not an option.

  • And So It Continues

    We have been unreliably informed that the wa\ter may not be back on until tuesday. Myself and a neighbour went to the water banks that they have placed in our street to get water and erm well ended up having a water fight. Needless to say only a few were amused. My toilet has been safely flused of the days toilet events so at least the place wont stink tonight. The 12 bottles i ws allocated have quickly disappeared,more to do wiht the fact i'm giving all the eldery in my row some of mine as it really is heavy carrying it back from Asda or the health centre where i hear the water is now being dispersed from. Away to fill up the water guns now

  • Water Saga

    Okay i gave in to pressure and went up to get my 12 allocated bottles of water. Had to go to asda for it well the carpark. They have the police there making sure that no-one skipped the queue or takes more than there share.The majority of the town i live in is waterless. And i have it on good authority (the guy behind me in the queue) that it takes 4 bottles to flush the toilet so i think my loo might be a bit stinky as the day goes on. Pubs have been closed resteraunts,cafe's are also a no go. Scottish water now think that the water may be off until tomorrown night and i have to admit after walking back with 12 bottles of water i'm a tad smelly, oh well that will keep me in good stead for next weekend lol

  • Having a Laugh

    Its ben raining most of the week, had a couple of hours of nice hot sunshine. Here's the hilarious part-my street has no water well no cold water,some numpty from somewhere has cut through the mains pipe but Scottish water has told us not to worry we will be given bottles of water if it's still off at 4 as they can't give it out before the 8 hours is up. Mmmm they already told us we'd be without it til at least tomorrow morning but they are'nt allowed to hand the water out now!!!. This is the bit that has kinda annoyed me, i only put my hot water on every other night because the tank is so big it takes 3 hours to get the water hot so by the time the water is back on tomorrow what is in the tank will be cold. I have filled my kettle the water jug and 3 pots and no doubt i wont use half of it but we do tend to panic in this country. Christmas for example yes the supermarkets are closed for 2 days but do we really need 10 loaves and 20 litres of milk? no not really but we buy it just incase. The sun is finally appearing over the clouds so fingers crossed it gets yummy. I only drink coffee and the odd glass of juice so i doubt i'll be searching the woods for the stream that flows through it. Just another thought whilst i'm on my water tangent, In years to come it won't be electric or gas we will run out of it will be clean water,polloution will kill the fresh water we get from Loch Katrine. I just wonder if when the time comes how many of us will be able to survive without our luxurys (water,electric,gas etc)
    Jusat realised ive the perfect excuse for not mopping the kitchen floor and doing the breakfast dishes.

  • I've Been Looking At....

    ..next weekend's line up and trying to plan who i'm going to see. It's a hard thing to do especially for the headliners. Sunday i really want to see THE PET SHOP BOYS but wee TOMMY RILEY is on at the same time. Theres no one really on before then that i want to see see well maybe PENDULUM but there playing on the nme stage and geting from that stage to the wah wah tent is about a half hour walk and then i would probably miss getting into the tent although i reacon Blur will pull in a massive crowd which would make my trek even harder as i would need to walk past the main stage.
    Fridays going a bit like this so far-THE MACCABES,IDLEWILD,YEAH YEAH YEAHS,NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS ending with KINGS OF LEAON
    Saturday-IGLU@HARTLEY,THE HOURS,STARSAILOR,JAMES,THE SPECIALS,HIP PARADE and to end saturday THE KILLERS or 1990'S
    Sunday-CAROLINA LIAR,THE GASLIGHGT ANTHEM,SQUEEZE,SEASICK STEVE (still cant believe he's on the main stage)DOVES,ELBOW and then maybe TV ON THE RADIO but only so i'm secured a piece of grass to see PET SHOP BOYS

  • This time next week

    yes this time next week i'll be in my own little bubble watching kings of leon in a muddy field thats slowly getting muddier. The homely smell of new canvas, portaloo's,greasy food,donoughts,,ahh fresh donouhts, freshly cut grass. People i'm going to my second home in Balado

  • Epic Adventure

    Yip i'm going on one, i borrows a friends copy of Stephen King's The Stand. I first read it about 7 years ago, it only took me about a year to get through it. Infact i read 2 other books whilst reading it just to get a break. I got quite excited earlier when carebear brought it in. So earlyish night tonight with my chocolate and book

  • So Last Night

    Carebear and her pals were out painting in the garden whe i heard her runing in to wash her hands. I'ee opnly just managed to install it into her that the kitchen sink is'nt for her mocket palms and that she should use appropriate saop and towels in the the bathroom. She managed to fal up the stairs and left 2 beautiful hand prints in my vream carpet. The bloody carpet i got a bruise on my head the last time i wsahed it. That famous carpet cleaner is'nt that grat getting black paint out,it needs alot of elbow grease. Now this is the bit that redally touched a nerve,my bathroom looked like something out a horror movie,watery paint up the walls, in the bath, over the toilet seat and a basin full of murky water. Needless to say she wsa swiftly brought in made to wash the bathroom and have a long soapy shower.
    Must say though the colourful mural on my path is looking great this morning.

  • My New Word

    Well not a new one "fab" will always be my word. I've found myself saying tangent alot today, i've managed to fit it into every conversation today. So my new word for the time being,well until another word takes my fancy is TANGENT

  • 8 sleeps

  • Is It Summer Yet

    Ok so today in this fair city of Glasgow we've had torrencial downpours,thunder no lightening and now the sun has come to say hello. I swapped the jeans and tee for a little summer dress,ok so the fact that the guys we're out cutting the communila grass with no tops on did'nt make me want to rush upstairs and change, due to weird weather my legs havent been shaved for a while (you cant quite plait the hair but its not far off it)
    Me and the chair in the garden with a refreshing glass of summer fruits (nae wine finishd that last night) I love the sun and all it's warmth. Carebears currently sitting under a fan in the livingroom with her snots dripping off her nose and eyes streaming. So not only do i get peace to read in the garden i also don't have a mass of kids playing in my garden. Can i also add that i don't think i'm getting any strawberrys this year but the sunflowers that i planted in carebears wellies are looking fabbie doo

  • Thats What I'd Like

    The book i was reading was called The last song of the night tram,set in Glasgow's northeast of the city it was a young boys tale of his life growing up in the 40's in Maryhill. The author Robert Douglas managed to capture his youth brilliantly. See when you see those little kids playing in your street cursing and swearing,well it wsa liek that back then and probably alot worse since there was no computer games or t.v to get drawn into everyday. The adventures this guy had growing up with his mates ws superb.
    I've had the book for a while now and never got round to reading it as i was told it was about the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father with some light humour thrown in for good measure. I only read it because i had finished my other book and didnt have anything at hand to read til i got a loan of the stand.
    Anyhooos, the book did have a bit of belting round the lug from his old man but it didnt dominate the story line, what captured me was the relationship he and has mother had. The father wsa off to war and when he got discharged after the war his father joined up for another 5 years so he could be nearer his fancy bit. I was and still am a wee bit envious of the relationship he had with his mum, although i suppose relationships with your parents we're probably different then,no t.v to distract you no running up the stairs with your plate of dinner because you just have to finish killing some zombie in a game.Instead you sat at the table ate together,pushed back the table afterwards and have a wee dance round the room or sit by the fire listening to the radio tell a story or listen to the world service. The closeness they had was fab,going to the pictures or off for an icecream together,her teaching him to dance once he ws old enough to go dancing,him helping her with the bath down to the steamie. I think it captured me so much because i used to live at the foot of maryhill half a lifetime ago,so i could see the streets he was talking about,knew where the picture hall was etc. Plus it was wrote in Weggie so it was easy to be someone at the end of the street loking into his life.
    Just thought i'd share that with you all

  • School Holidays

    Well its day 4 here in Glasgow for the holipops and its raining,complete downpour, to be fair it will be over in 5 minutes, people running out to there gardens colecting in there washing,kids screaming bcause they all have shorts on. The plants at least are geting a great watering. I'm trying to be organised for carebears return to school,i found out that i'm entitled to a clothing grant from the council of 70 quid, as theres so many shops closing down ive managed to get all her skirts shirts polo tops underwear for about 15 pounds so its only her shoes and bag left. So ickle me reacons that 70 will be put to use for a wee week away camping and that will cover the ground fee's and food. Might wait til the rain stops though, it's really weird the rain is stoating but yet the sky still looks blue.

  • why does carebear need to be a hayfever sufferer?

    Been awake since 5 o'clock this morning listening to snottery face blowing sniffing snorting her nose. Will you just blow your nose and give it a good clean out i shouted from under myactually know what there talking about covers, i didn't realise she'd climed into my bed so poor wee carebear got the fright of her life. She managed to fall back asleep,me well i watched news 24, Do you know in Germany theve found a flute in a cave and they reacon its over 40,000 years old. Yes i found the fact theve found this more interesting than Obama taking troops out of Iraq, if he had went in and took them out by hand i might have been interested but at 5 in the morning i can't really handle politics.
    The natives are out playing tennis again, every now n then i hear them shouting duce (poison dwarf always shouts pepsi after that has been said) love etc, i am wondering if they really know what there shouting.
