Weekly activities



Monday - meeting for Gallatown East Tenants & Residents Association - Gala Day on Saturday! Hopefully with warm & sunny weather! Happily we have missed the downpours experienced in other parts of the UK! Picture above shows the Unison stall, me, Marilyn Livingston MSP, her minder and good old Marie - our matron of dishonour at our wedding!
Tuesday - more about this as I go on - a lot more!
Thursday - as above & meeting for Unison at Rosyth Dockyard
Friday - Prepare for action
Saturday - action - GETRA Gallatown Gala 12:00-16:00 Opened by local member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP)

Monday 6th August - I hope the final decision from the Senior Physiotherapist about my rehab!
Important date - Unison commemoration for the victims of the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 -
Tuesday - CVS Fife - "Dreamweaver" training course - second attempt to understand how to put a website together!
Wednesday = post Gallatown Gala clear up - Arthur helped to move unsold items to the local charity shop, Marie Curie - manager - an Irish colleen, full of fun also known as Marie was happy to see us! Interested days as "Neat Feet" complimentary therapy have moved in next door. Joe the owner started his "business" upstairs from the Fife Men Project. Everyone is wondering how his business is a recognised Scottish Charity?
Thursday-Sunday off to Yorkshire dales to visit my mother in Austwick (LA2 8BD) - always need a holiday after these visits! Picture taken some years ago is of my mother and nan (died in 1997)

Really business and finding I'm all over the place with this blogging! First things first - Saturday turned out to be really good, weather changed and sun shone! With the help of friends, Arthur, Doreen, Marie, Gordon and of course my guy, Frank, we help to raise £1306.00. Considering the low attendance and the regeneration area we live in where poverty and social deprivation are all around it went really well! As did my physiotherapy and I hope trip to the diabetic clinic this morning. Need to be watching my diary appointments but the trip to Yorkshire will help sort out my timetable and catch up on emails - especially to dear sweetie Walter! Mea Culpa!

I HAVE SURVIVED - the monthly trip to Yorkshire but with a difference, as all will be revealed over the coming weeks - an added visit to our home town of Sunderland - how did it go? Well you might ask, but suffice to say we both laid to rest some uncomfortable demons - well and truly exorcised! Marsden Grotto is pictured here where we stopped for lunch - right beside the Samaritan's sign and faded bunches of flowers indicated folk had not taken the time to phone!

Rushed home from Yorkshire as we thought the winning Euromillion ticket was in our grasp! Good thinking how we would spend £36,000,000! Instead it was Thunderball £10! So my week in running like this:-
Monday Drug & Alcohol Project Levenmouth. Then a meeting with the new Senior Health Promotion Officer from NHS Fife - we hope to be of some use getting more finances!
Tuesday - day2 of the Dreamweaver training course - hope Gordon can remember what to do! Thankfully he did and so did I - now comes the hard part!
Wednesday - Unison work at home
Thursday - GETRA meeting
Friday - Glasgow - Unison Voluntary Sector meeting - Saturday at the project and the pub! So really the first full week "at work" since my accident in March! No doubt I'll be reporting how things go!
