Well, it’s not the only Glen, but since I was a teenager, it’s been known as “The Glen”. Kids from the area live “up the Glen”, catch “the Glen bus” and come fae “up the Glen”… Only recently, it’s dawned on me how much I will miss the Glen and how many fond memories I [...]

The Meeting
Posted in Family, Me, Rant on 25/09/2008 | Leave a Comment »
Multi-disciplinary meeting…
No, not a work thing, but something to discuss what is the best “care” for my Gran after she is discharged from hospital. Very emotive. Very matter of fact. Which response for which attendees??? Hmmmm.
For my family it’s emotive. Gran’s well-being. Gran’s happiness, health and future and what happens. For them, just another case. [...]
Queen & Paul Rodgers Concert
Posted in Gig, Me, Music, Rant on 16/09/2008 | Leave a Comment »
Upcoming on the 13th October – I can’t wait.
From the posts on http://brianmay.com/ it looks like the tour is off to a good start…the photos are amazing. As I’ve read some of the posts, I’ve become more annoyed about people saying it’s not the same without Freddie.
OF COURSE IT’S NOT! Grow up people. Paul Rodgers is [...]
Dear Old Gran
Posted in Family, Me, Rant on 16/09/2008 | 1 Comment »
The saga continues.
So, Gran has now been in hospital for three weeks. Her health has improved and she’s getting up and around more than she was able to. But, when will she be allowed out?
Social services last week decided that Gran can live on her own. Yes, on her own. This is the wonderful old [...]
Addiction
Posted in Exercise, Golf, Me on 16/09/2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m addicted. To playing golf. The most frustrating, fun, annoying, and enjoyable game I’ve ever played. I played two rounds of 18 over the weekend, and was really pleased with a 109 at Pine Ridge and with a 112 at Blue Mountain.
Pine Ridge is my local course and is really lovely – lots of trees [...]
Golfage
Posted in Exercise, Golf, Me on 03/09/2008 | 1 Comment »
I’ve played a number of times recently, and I think I’m finally getting used to the new clubs. My short game is improving well – which I’m really pleased about, as I was worried about the weight of the new PW.
Last night I finished a round at our local 9-hole course with a cracking shot [...]
Look Out New Zealand
Posted in Family, Me, Sister on 03/09/2008 | Leave a Comment »
My sister’s coming back.
Flights are booked, plans have been made and on the 28th of this month, sis and her BF are flying back to NZ to start afresh.
Best of luck to them both! I shall miss her being readily available – but, will look forward to hearing of her new adventures in life, of [...]
Update on Gran
Posted in Family, General, Me on 03/09/2008 | Leave a Comment »
Total confusion it seems is becoming the norm. She asked yesterday how her mother was. My mother had to remind Gran that she is actually 88 and that her own mother has been gone for some time.
It’s hard. So very hard.
I sent flowers to the hospital, because I live too far away to visit. Gran [...]
