A Wake Up Call
I was watching the Scottish News tonight, which i don't normally watch. Anyway there was a report on about a girl who had been abducted from a bus stop in Glasgow on Saturday night and then dropped off there again on Sunday morning. You can see the article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4621944.stm or at http://scotlandtoday.scottishtv.co.uk/content/default.asp?page=s1_1_1&newsid=10165
I have waited by myself at that bus stop quite a few times later on at night. In the links there are photos of the street, Cathedral Street, which is where Strathclyde University buildings and Halls of Residences are. In the photos the bus stop is on the right hand side. The Strathclyde CU meet in a building which is just out of picture on the left, and the Strathclyde Union is a little further along on the right hand side. It was really scary (for my mum as well as me!) to watch the report because we both knew that i had waited for buses there on a number of occasions!
In the comments section for the previous post i mentioned that i was no longer going to buy an Ipod. Instead i am going to buy an A3 laminator, which will come in very useful for teaching materials! and will save up the money to go to Romania in September with the 1st Bearsden Boy's Brigade Romania Project, of which i am a committee member. This is our third Project to raise money for a hospital in Craiova. we do lots of fundraising activities including a Ceilidh coming up on the 18th of February, 7 for 7:30 start at Kessington Hall in Bearsden. Adult tickets £10, Student tickets £8, school aged children tickets £ 6, toddlers free! For more info. speak to me or wait until i pester you about coming along to the ceilidh! I fought hard to get student prices, and your tickets includes a 'light buffet supper' and a live ceilidh band. There will also be an auction and a raffle, and remember it is a fundraising ceilidh! :D Plug over!
Well, with that aside, it's back to forward planning! I couldnt find any good ideas on the internet, so i have made up my own worksheet on the Earth's Layers.
Verse for the blog:~ "You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah" Psalm 32:7 (NIV)

My mum gave me a whistle, which i did actually stand holding when i had to wait for the bus by myself one night! i had missed the second last bus so went up to toastie bar, but we had miscalculated when the next bus would come and i stood waiting for 15 mins by myself (holding my whistle lol!), but there was no point going back up to toastie bar.

Wow, that's well shocking. And well close too. I feel rather glas that I am male, these things don't generally happen to us as much thankfully. I remember that night you missed your bus, I seem to remember it amusing me.

Ooh harsh! It was kinda funny tho, coz we had said goodbye to Erin, n then i saw my bus and was like 'that's my bus, i've missed it!'
I don't know why the girl didnt run tho, but i would have screamed and run to the union!but then again i dont know the circumstances, maybe she did do that!
