Well over
the last few months our Monday meetings have been busy wee
affairs, what wi’ dancing, singin’ and relaxing, we have no
really had a chance to catch up with each other it’s all been
sort of rushed. So this
month’s Monday meeting will give us all a chance to catch up
with each other, we have had a lot of new people popping in of
late, so it will be good to say hi and howzitgaun, and take a
bit of time with each other. This
month’s meeting will be on Monday 29th October at the
Chaplaincy at the BGH. 2pm till 4pm.

A WORD ABOUT
TRANSPORT
Could anyone who would like to come to the monthly meetings and
doesn’t have transport or
public transport,(or can’t manage public transport) please let
me know, I’m trying to find out
how many people are in this position so something can be set up
for those who want to attend
but have difficulty in doing so, if you can contact me on 07949 256 592/07525145421.
The meetings take place the last Monday in the month at the
chaplaincy centre BGH 2-4pm and is a good opportunity to meet
people in the same position and exchange ideas and ways of
coping.
Thanks.
Alan Robertson

Recently I have
been jetting off on the high life as Hils and I headed fur Mallorca
an oor summer holz!! Aye I know its October!!
But recently I
have been reaping the benefits of Holistic Massages frae Lesley.
Lesley suggested I try and get a massage while on ma holz so that
was ma holiday challenge to find a massage person and compare!! And naw we’re no
talkin aboot seedy massage places stuff!
Well after much search and deliberation between Hils and me I
booked a session with this Chinese Chappy.!! He beat the
living daylights oot oa me!!
Gone were those gentle loosening of the neck muscles from
Lesley, as ma Chinese Chappy beat the cr...oops living daylights out
of me!!
|
|
I keep getting
his picture in my head when I opened my eyes and seeing this strange
Chinese man’s face upside doon as he leaned over me
saying, ‘you massage all feeneeshed!’ and his cheesy grin!!
Jings a just hope Lesley will take me back!!
I think am turning intae a big softy me!! But to finish
positively the next day after ma massage I was a wee bitty sore, the
day after the next day till me holidays finished I felt brill. so Mr
Chinese Chappy thank you!!
I’ll never complain to Lesley again!!
Young Parky’s Gig This is proving
to be very popular, after 5 months it is turning into an enjoyable
social outing, chatting with folk who understand over a meal. Our
hosts at Nachos have been very good to us. So for those of
you who are young and living with Parky if you would like to pop
along do so we meet at sixish and usually order around half six,
this all happens at Nachos Fiesta in the High Street Galashiels.
Just turn up or leave a message for Gary on 01750 22588.
