Friday, 5th December.
Just watched a lovely programme on BBC 4 about Nana Mouskouri. Really enjoyed it, mainly because John used to encourage me to learn lots of her songs. She always comes across as a really warm friendly person and I've always admired her ability to sing in so many different languages.
The doctor phoned again. I've to go to Longniddry to have a blood and urine test done to send to a rheumatologist! Sounds ominous! Not really, just making sure my own doctor is giving me the right medication. The rest of the day was the usual routine. Arthur came along to take me shopping and we had a blether and a cup of tea first. My new cleaner is very good and it was great to come back in from shopping and find everything spick and span.
Managed to write more cards and check my Christmas list, so I'm getting there. Next thing is getting all the Christmas stuff out of the cupboard. Think Margo's coming on Sunday, so she'll give me a hand. Kay is busy rehearsing for her concert on Sunday.

Parties galore
Thursday, 4th December 2008.
Getting out of habit of blogging again. Think it's because I'm so tired and not feeling well. Still trying to get out and about though! Was at Christmas Fayre on Saturday which was very well attended. Nice to see Jan and family there. Managed church on Sunday and Margo came in afternoon with Ailie and Keir. Lovely to see them. Arthur came along later. We had a good blether. I'm going there for Christmas as Catherine's Mum and Dad are going to be there. They are both pretty frail.
Got phone call from Preston Lodge asking me to get numbers for the Senior Citizen's Christmas Party on 11th December. Pauline Christine, who organises it taught at Ross High beside me. It's always very good and we're given a lovely tea and a free raffle. It's all free! We're very lucky in the Pans!
History Society party on Tuesday night. Stephen gave me a lift round as roads pretty slippy. Nice relaxing evening, with everyone singing carols accompanied by young Gavin on the cornet. Delicious home made buffet made by Dorothy (Ian Telford's wife) and Annette Gilroy, then watched film of Scots comedian Chic Murray which was very funny, then Santa arrived and gave us all a present.
Yesterday at lunch in aid of Chas in Chalmers church Port Seton. Helen took Rita, Jean and I down. Lovely soup, mince pies and Christmas cake. Bought some delicious home baking and hand made pressies. Spoke to lots of people I hadn't seen for ages.
When we came home Helen said she was going to Marks at the Fort and asked if I wanted to come. Didn't really feel like it, but said I'd sit in the car. However, was all right when I got a trolley to lean on, so got one or two things. Helen went into Border books and got me 'Maw Broon's But and Ben Cookbook" for Dick. I'd already bought Bobby a book about Chic Murray as he's very good at impersonating him.
Doctor phoned today about blood test results.Sending me new prescription tomorrow so hopefully will feel better soon.
