2010’s Last Blog

Happy New Year fellow Bloggers. I hope all of your dreams come true for 2011. But whatever goodies come your way, please don’t become too complacent, like I did today. It is the 31st of December, the last day of 2010 – a year I never expected to see. I don’t quite go as far as my auld Mother used to... Sign in to see full entry.

We Both Forgot!

You can’t possibly imagine the relief unless you are a married man who has forgotten his wedding anniversary. I’ve been remembering all month because December is that type of month. First is Ell’s birthday, then Christmas, then our Anniversary. I’m blaming it on the confusion I’ve felt since going... Sign in to see full entry.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Folks

My Personality Nadir occurred in December. It wasn’t as if I was looking for a compliment, any more than I was looking for criticism. All I was doing was attending another auction – Don’t yawn all at once, dear reader. It was a rather more up-market auction than we’d been attending lately, and the... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Auctions in One Day?

It will be no surprise to my regular reader that Ell and I attend auctions, but it is usually just one at a time – however. On Saturday we had two and Ell wanted to attend both – I think it’s called multitasking, or it could be called trying to do too much in one day. Luckily for her, one of the...

Sunday was Scottish Heritage day – at Church!

[The Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan] It was a ‘first’ and nobody knew how it would turn out. True, we worship at a Presbyterian church, but that doesn’t mean that anybody knows or remembers their Scottish heritage. In fact I had an old lady of 90 sitting beside me who asked me who St Andrew was anyway. I... Sign in to see full entry.

A Class-y Computer Survey?

I’m blaming Ell – naturally. Let’s face it; she blames me for everything she can think of so it’s nice to return the favour. She is a great one for filling in computer surveys and cutting coupons from food cartons. Sometimes when she’s fed up filling in computer surveys she leaves them for a couple...

Has it only been 2 Months?

It feels like 2 years since I last posted a blog on Blogit. Things have been going kinda ga-ga over the last 8 weeks, what with me elevating myself to cloud cuckoo land for a few days at a time to other family problems. Come to think of it, it was probably the family problems that had me checking... Sign in to see full entry.

That was a waste of a day or six Mac

And no, I am not procrastinating; what I am trying to do is find somewhere online that will publish articles from Canada and pay for them. The articles I had listed on Constant Content are still there – or they were until 20 minutes ago. I don’t see much point in having 47 people read a précis of... Sign in to see full entry.

Is it just me?

Today I received a letter from the Province’s Health Care Provider. It’s a letter checking up on the Doctors’ claims regarding patients seen. Let me quote parts of the form. ‘The health insurance plan………requests individuals….randomly selected, to confirm whether or not they received a service from a... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi Andy Again, I hope this is your creation as it is going online to be read by millio…..at least a couple of people. A nice piece of work Andy; it strikes a chord which could translate into a melancholy song if you let it, or you could reminisce in glorious technicolour. I’ll write soon – there is...
