Wedding poem

I remember as a young lad asking my teacher how you would go about becoming a poet. She told me to go home, take all my clothes off and stand close to a roaring fire until my "Rabbie" Burns!

you all know by now that myself and Kay are getting married in December and the day can't come quick enough. I thought I'd pen a tribute to my beautiful Irish girl (in a Burns style).

My Bonny Lass

My darlin' Kay, my bonny lass
I'd ne'er let a day go past
Wi'oot your face upon mine eyes
and on your love my sun does rise

My sweetest girl, my heart, my life
And soon tae be my darlin' wife
My very soul belongs to thee
And all my whole I give tae ye

We'll walk together for all our days
We two as one in every way
Oor lives entwined, nae man can sever
You and me, now and forever

So darlin' Kay, I ken your mine
My precious rose, my sweetest wine
Oor love so strong, knows no defeat
With you my life at last complete.

Wednesday evening and my nails are gone!

The Champions league kicks off tonight - The greatest show on earth in my humble opinion - and tomorrow sees The mighty hoops enter the Theatre of dreams to do battle with the Red Devils or, to put it another way, Celtic v Man. Utd at old Trafford.

My Heart will always say Celtic but , realistically, We need United to have a real off day and Celtic to play out of their skins to have any chance at all. Here's hoping though!

When the music starts I always feel the hairs(!) on the back of my neck stand up. Roll on Tomorrow evening and may the best team (in Green and White Hoops) win!

End of an era

This Saturday sees the closure of this Roches Stores shop in Wilton Shopping Centre. I go there for lunch sometimes and have been watching the shop slowly run out of stock and it's sad to see. Roches Stores have been around all my life and they remind me of going on holidays - I always seem to go there to stock up on the holiday essentials.

Marks & Spencers will be taking over two of their stores (Wilton being one) and Debenhams are taking over the rest. Let's hope their sales are as good.

The supermarket (SuperValu) had a half price sale today so I went straight for the wine - GONE. Then to the washing powders etc - GONE. I eventually came away with some nice cheese and multi-vitamins! Dinner was interesting.
