school violence

I saw another photo taken at my primary school in the early 1960s I showed it to a couple of poeople who were there and they recalled the violence that was infllicted on them by these 'teachers' come bullies.  This violence has been outlawed now thankfully and it will be interesting to see what kind of society that will create, I won't be here to find out but it has to be a good thing that violenee by adults on children has been stopped, the abuse must have had an impact on the kind of society we live in today and might have something to do with all the wars.  I am assuming here of course that all societies are going this way, the abhorrence of strangers abusing someone's kids in the name of discipline is disgusting really.   Some had to put up with the violence at home and at school which must have made for a horrific childhood really. There are other means of abuse and I am assuming the other forms of abuse still go on in schools such as teachers ignoring bullying,...

New Year

  Well we had a different new years eve last night, there was power outage, this was the second in few weeks there seems to be a lot on this line as parts of the village rarely get affected, its a nuisance, I call this street power cut street, we should be paying less standing charge, which is extortion anyway. There was a huge roar in the pub when the electric came back and everyone could pay for their drinks the tills could not work obviously.   I did not see the new year in in the pub I came home for that as I had gone out earlier to get warm in the pub  Basically it was shit end to shit year where health issues have made life a bit difficult for me, those issues are still around so they have the potential to make this year just as shit I guess, hopefully that won't happen I seemed to be the oldest in the pub by the time it was time to go home except for  a neighbour who is a few months older than me, anyway it has gone now, I guess and we have move on  ...

walk

I went out for a stroll earlier. but it turned into a bit of a nightmare. Really. I walked along the main road. which I hadn't done since the lockdowns. But thought it's the other road is probably quiet. Being that it's Christmas Day. But it wasn't that quiet, so it was OK, I had a chat with a farmer on the way. I had never met him before. I never knew he had sheep locally. I was not too keen about getting. home so. I decided to extend to extend the walk. going down the path switch. I haven't been for a while. It was very muddy. and the shoes that I wore. were not as good as I thought they were. And probably I am not fit. as I was. So I was struggling on the paths a bit. Even having to resort. to using the mobile phone to help me. It did not help that my glasses were steaming up all the time. I got quite deep in. mud in one place and. now the shoes are just filthy I hope I haven't spoiled them.  There were also. trees? in the way which had been blown down in the...

blog

  I have been trying to find another blog thing as the spell check on this is not great but the free blog applications on here are not great really. I went on the bus yesterday to caernarfon and a lad who play for band who I listen to a fair bit came on the bus they are a welsh language band, I saw them in a gig about a month ago and they were very good and i told the lad this.  this band make you feel proud of your culture and so greatful that I have been given the gift of the the welsh language and culture. The language and culure of Welsh is under so much threat from the dominant English culture every day, from places like accross the boarder and from America. I see so much bigotry about the language on the internet, which is ironic really as the culture is obviously not a threat to the dominant English culture so they should just let it be and move on 

Neighbours.

 Twol things you can't choose in life, your neighbours. and your relatives. I have not been. very lucky.really with neighbours. Well, I guess there have been some. that have been OK, but most of the time they.'ve been ****.  I have just seen. the son of a neighbour. who? got me a load of **** from. morons in. this village. H I have a piece of land. which has a which has an easement on it as part of the property. and the neighbour has access to his hut from it. The**** parked his motorbike on it one day and things got out of hand. It was a very. pressing situation. especially when he got other people involved. it was nothing to do with the son, obviously, but I guess there are. tensions there. On the other side, I have. a neighbour who is put up this big **** **** fence. which makes my garden a lot darker now, he used to be an ok chap I used to talk to him a lot but this horrible fence has damageed that relationship. I am learning to ignore the fence but its nto easy, Some say ...

crazy sheep

I was hit by a ram a few months ago I thought it was just one of those things but someone else has been hit and hurt badly.  She has been hit sheep that belongedd to the same farmer as hit me is it a coincidence or is there something wrong or different to way those sheep are being reared which renders them more aggressive.  I have never heard of sheep attacking people before I have heard of a ram hitting a farmer due to probably the way they were being handled by the farmer. Apparently I should have gone to the police about the ram attack but it did not occure ot me maybe if I had done the cops might have gone round and the clowns who own the sheep migth have taken action though I think the ram that hit I thought had got spooked but maybe it hadn't and that there is something about the rams, maybe it was the same one  It is very unusual to have a ram attack at all never mind two in one year or maybe three someone told me about another one but I was not listening propertly...

crap

 I am not having a lot of luck with any interactions with folk these days, I seem to be having to suffer a lot of ignorance which has led to not getting on too well with neighbour or an aquaintance I have known a while or a so called friend or a relative really its pretty dark on the people front, what is the saying hell is other people well I guess it is proving to be the case at the moment  Just watched the rugby, thtat has to be the worst Welsh team of all time, i guess the results corroborate that as they have  now lost 11 games in  row this eleventh defeat has to be the worst I guess.  This jsut adds to the sad destruction of the village fair by the county council, all in the name of health and safety apparently.  I will try to campaign for it get resurected and get a bit of encouragement to do that  but I need others to help too. It si really hard to hear the word 'fair't these days knowing that the bastards at Gwynedd Council killed our village ...
