When it comes to TV over Christmas, I should have mentioned Gavin and Stacey. If you have recorded it and haven’t seen it yet, then please watch it.  You can also watch the amazing documentary that goes with it and this certainly helped me to understand the story and humour in greater depth. Anyway, I don’t just want to discuss Gavin and Stacey, but in the words of Ness “What’s occurring”?

The opening few days of this year has been all about funding applications. I am hoping I have found a couple of crackers. They appear to fit our remit beautifully so here is hoping. One of the trusts encourages a phone call before application which is what I like. The opportunity of an in-person call can often help the process along well. I intend getting in touch this morning and see where the call goes.

I also have a call this morning with a new Care Home that has intimated that they would be interested in working with us in the New Year and another that has possibilities too.

On the 31st of January at St Brides in Dalry we are holding a fundraising Ceilidh. Kenny’s band will be supporting the evening, and I am sure we will have fun together. We start the evening at 6:30 with 45 minutes of singing together (typical Forget Me Notes) a short break and then into the Ceilidh dancing. That will run from 7:30 until 8:15 with a half hour break for a Haggis supper. At 8:45 we will recommence the dancing finishing the evening between 9:30 and 9:45. All for the princely sum of £12. If you would like tickets, then if you contact me I am sure we can get them to you.

I realise that today may well be the first day back at work for many of you who are reading this post, so hope it goes well.

Happy New Year.
