Fergie MacDonald Calendar 2012
A message from Fergie.

Fergie’s calendar 2012

Hi everybody, fans and friends it’s ready!

The first ever ‘FERGIE’ Calendar.
During my rehabilitation from heart surgery I got great pleasure, enjoyment and fun.
Putting this ridiculous, nonsense together, they call a calendar.
It helped me greatly to get over the ‘’feeling low’’ days.
We all have them at one time or another in our lives.
If you have any ‘low’ days during 2012, then I guarantee you that all you have to do is look at FERGIE calendar.
Think of a caption and have a laugh.
It will most certainly cheer you up for the rest of the year.
No doubt about it.

Best wishes.

Fergie.

P.S. We left the captions blank so that you could use your imagination, but I’d love to hear from you with your ideas of funny captions for the calendar.

Fergie.

FERGIE CALENDAR 2012
This year 2011 has in many ways changed my outlook on life in general.  Open heart surgery is most certainly a wake-up call.  Apprehension leading up to surgery followed by months of rehabilitation changes one's perspective of life completely.  No doubt about it.

During this period of non-activity, I watched the workmen one day gutting out one of the hotel bedrooms and noticed  a toilet among the debris in the middle of the car park.  My outrageous sense of humour went into overdrive!  I said to myself "wouldn't it be funny if I played a tune on the box while sitting on a toilet seat in the middle of the car park".  The result was dynamite!
Visitors stopping their vehicles to take photographs mingled with road rage confrontations causing traffic chaos, resulting in police intervention.  Even the cops who happened to be passing in their van were in stiches laughing, but with all due respect to them, they had to enforce the "long arm of the law" and bring this outrageous spectacle to a stop.

Following this scene of hilarity, I got my daughter Morven-Anne to take photographs just using these two props.ie The accordion and the toilet seat.

Now this is the bottom line - excuse the pun! I am now talking serious.  During my many days of feeling down during the rehabilitation period of heart surgery, the putting together of "The Fergie Calendar" got me through these trying days by laughing at my own ridicuolus sense of humour.  Now lets turn this around.  Fans and friends will also have some "feel bad" days during 2012.  This calendar is for them.  "You've shared my music , now share my sense of humour".  On a bad day during 2012 have a look at your favourite picture irrespective of the month, and just have a laugh - at Fergie's expense!  It will cheer you up.
