 I have been behaving. a bit. hostile awards. the neighbour, because he put this hideous fence up. a few months ago, which looms over the garden. and blocks out the lights and just makes me feel like I've been. I've been cut off from the rest of the street. Really. Anyway, I have the intention of talking to him about it. I didn't really want to, so I don't like these kind of things. But yesterday I spoke to him. Whether he'll take any notices. I don't know. Just have to wait and see. cyclist. I've done it now, and I guess I can stop being hostile for a while. But I guess it'll have to start again if he doesn't. do something. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Really. Two things you can't choose in this world. Your relatives and your neighbours. I only noticed the fence really when. the sun is out and the big shadow is cast over the garden. at least this problem. hasn't gone out of hand and like the other issues, I. have had with neighbours in...

I am listening to a podcast about having difficult conversatons, I need to have one with the guy next door about his fence but I am avoiding it I guess telling myself that I will have the conversation when I see him and not that I will not go round to his house.  I am no fan of any kind of confrontation, apparently I am a people pleaser and thats why I won't confront the guy The talking to him if I bump into him is not going too well as I have seen him twice in 6 months and to be honest I am actively avoiding him which makes things worsts I guess, not having the chat is bad enough but wasting energy on trying to avoid him is silly  

I am a bit perplexed this morning, apparently there will be a council election here next month, I have found out this in the pub, this is why pubs are a good thing to have in a community, I have not seen anything about the election by the council who I am no fan of, the election is on the 10th of  April. I see I see that the candidates. have been put forward already Well, for have anyway. I don't know if anymore can be put forward. or it's closed. I guess I will have to ring the ring. the council. I have found that the closing date has gone It's not that I want. to run myself. So I suppose my. shouldn't say anything. but I just would like a decent candidate to be a councillor for this ward. I know a couple of the people running I don't write them even though they plays for them for putting themselves forward. I think. a younger person would be better suited. I don't know who. I have nobody in mind. Maybe I should put my own name forward. But I have enough to dea...

 I went to this warm space thing up in the next town today I have been there a few times you get a free meal and drink and somewhere to keep warm, there are few people there but it does not seem as well attended as I would have thought it would be free food and all that, I guess people are more difficult to please than I thought some may have not heard about it I guess not everyone goes on the internet, I hope its a success and that it comes back next year  I did not go to the warm space today as I had had lunch in the chipshop but after seeing how much the meal I usually have had risen I maybe should have gone to the warm space thing I know things are rising but the rise was ridiculous they will struggle to make money if they carry on like that, ironicaly the meal was not as nice as usual, I doubt that I will go back there again for long time,  I will be back in that building on wednesday as the cookery course which is suppose to have started in september is finally star...

 I went for a walk the other day and we came across ths lake which had some ducks in it , the ducks came out of the lake and did not seem to be nervous of people.  It seems someone put the ducks in the lake after hand rearing them for a while, they probably got fe or moved or something the ducks look ok so are surviving I am not sure where the ducks come from though I doubt they  are native to this island in  in fact someone said they had seen some of this type of duck in Crete while they were there I am not sure if they were telling the truth or not.  I guess if they breed they will become native, i am not sure what sex either of the ducks are, I guess time will tell if they are able to thrive or not. I think they ae kept alive by huthemans helping out to in feeding them like we did the other day.  The walk was very nice anwy and I look forward to the next one tbiough I have looked on the websire and there does not seem to be another one arranged, I though...

I am worried about the pub down the road, staff are leaving and other off sick, not sure how the place will be run, one of the staff leaving is the licensee, and there is a danger that the person doing the job before might end up doing it again, he is not a responsible person though I think its posssible for the committee to be licencee so then the the responsiblity is shared, I think the other problems can be over come really there is always people looking for a new challenge ai guess   It would be a travesty if the place was not able to go on. I would have to find somewhere else to go for a drink which would be a pain in the arse After talking to someone there seems to be enough money to run it for another bad winter which hopefully won't happen so I can stop worrying for a while. There are vacancies in the pub which the men running it are determind to fill with men which is not good as the people who are being overlooked might leave and then they will be in bother as these peopl...
