It seems ages since I've had time to blog anything, but today, having come down with a nasty "man-cold", I'm staying in for the afternoon, and going back to bed. Nose running like a river, sore throat, headache, and just plain miserable, I'll retreat to the duvet and see if it helps any!
Not that the last days have been uneventful! There has been lots to blog and lots going on! I'm just incapable of disciplining myself, in frantic times, to sit down and record all that's going on.
The AGM on Sunday went peaceably, with a commitment to go ahead and replace the current hall. A big step of faith, as the project could cripple us financially forever, and a huge project ahead which should be completed in two years time. Plenty of space to try to get some financial help, do some serious praying, and keep the congregation together in the same sort of way we had to during the church restoration three years ago. I'm going to get my hard hat back again! Alleluia! I love this stuff! (Should have been an architect, or a QS like my son, Graham!)
Father has fallen badly and bruised his lower back and possibly cracked a rib too. He's in excrutiating pain, and I've been hauling him about for the last three days. He can hardly move, poor soul, but there's nothing that can be done except to feed him strong painkillers! These, together with his copious amounts of whisky each day, are at least giving him a sleep at night, and for that we are all grateful!
The minor injuries unit at the Vale of Leven Hospital were superb with him, and although we no longer have the A&E Dept, this is still a wonderful service. Under threat, of course, but wonderful anyway!
The Scotland football team's fortunes have taken us on a rollercoaster ride! I was at Hampden to see us beating the Ukraine, and plonked in front of the TV last night watching an unrecognisable team capitulate to a bunch of teenagers from Georgia. Supporting Scotland is so much like supporting Partick Thistle. You get used to the kicks! To qualfy for the Euro 2008 Championship, we only need to beat Italy, the world champions at home. Easy, eh? Aye!
So, off to bed with a boring book in the hope I'll soon be asleep. It's the only time I stop coughing and sneezing!
