Well our estate walkabout went  O K it is hoped that we will get things done and improve our wee bit of Barrhead in East Renfrewshire ( E R ) . We highlighted various issues and some will be actioned soon.

Various stores are collecting for our local food bank please pot something in even a tin of beans will help. Our local  Tesco has a collection point and a list of what is best to donate. If you require help you can contact the local C A B on social services who can issue a referral.

A grab shot of inside the long void block of flats in Kerr St Barrhead. I am informed that  the work will be completed by the end of this year. This will bring much needed homes to Barrhead & E R in general..

I am informed that East Renfrewshire ( E R ) Council will be running the Still Game project again this year.
Some readers will recall I had the privilege to attend the first one.

       The date on flyer is for last year but contacts remain the same.I would recommend this project. The events centre around St Mirren football stadium and part include a tour of the ground. This was interesting even to me. I think football is 22 men chasing a round ball about. Now if it were a real game like rugby!
Still it was worth while & it is hoped there will be spin off events soon.

          This is a picture taken from the directors lounge and gives a good view of park.
                                         I would recommend you consider attending.

A baa day

At bloger towers












We do not have our usual postman & mail is late. Our service entry system stops at xxxx. Just found out that mail may being returned. I am at my wits end to know what to do. As someone who did that job years ago is shudder to think what the service has come to. I recommend that everyone checks what is happening. Something important may be getting returned.

Tomorrow I hope to have an estate walk around I hope for a wet day.This will show the work that is in urgent need .

The above picture has been submitted for the Muppet's of the year  picture composition. Prize money to charity ( Kids with cancer ) so wish me luck.

Last night I was in a posh part of East Renfrewshire ( E R ). I was in that upmarket supermarket two people in the qua in front of me had their credit cards decline & one was confectioned. The people appeared to  be affluent. Perhaps this shows the real sate of the economy. Once again I recommend if you have any finical issues seek assistance as soon as possible. In E R we have a very good money first service run by our council. If you require assistance please get in contact E R have a drop in service at their office in Main St Barrhead or you can arrange an appointment by calling  E R customer first on  0141 577 3001.
Also  E R citizens advice is just across the road they can help with a range of issues.

Once again we say take care of yourself  & each other.
