So we have an election on thursday to decide whether the assembly is  going to have more powers, I am not sure what to vote as I don't quite understand the whole thing/   Its been pretty cold and wet today, and the month is nearly over, time flies really, one minute its monday again.

I got the ramblers magazine through the post this morning, which I didn't expect really, i thought I was only going to get one with the joining pack, so it was a nice surprise, the total of the 4 which come out every year comes to about 15 quid, so really I am only paying 15 quid to join, which I reckon is very cheap for a lot of great days out.  I wish I could go tomorrow but I can't get to the place where the walk starts, no buses on a Sunday which is a bit of a pain, and I don't know the people well enough yet to ask them for a lift, there is a walk on Tuesday, which I can definately get to, no need for no crappy public transport service or no need to get a lift, as the walk is taking place around the village here with the group, who I am a member of, and who I haven't seen for a while, well not since the nice walk up to Moel y Gest in the middle of Januarey. I will have to inform the person on the computer course that I will not be able to be there on Tuesday, but I

It seems I might have another cold coming, another one, in the line of many which I have had recently, and it gets pretty boring to have one after the other, hopefully its just a blocked nose and it will go in a while. The weather is foul here today, horrible thick fog

I have had a sore throat for a couple of weeks, it seems that it has now turned into a cold.  I got a new battery for my phone yesterday, which seems to be holding charge not much better than the one I bought it to replace, I will see how it goes in the next few days, the one I bought, is not the same as the one I oredred from the amazon website, it does still fit into the phone though.  I got a tax letter today and it referred to some tax thing relating to Nottingham County Council, I am struggling to recall any tax transactions I had with Nottingham County Council, oh well, its only a tax code thing and I guess it doesn't really matter

A bit of a damp day today here. I have managed to get to the computer course and managed to post on this site from this computer for a change.

I did not go to computer course today, usual tutor off, so I took the day off and I won't be there on Wednesday either, as I have some work to do. I played a song I had written to a group of people today and they played along with it, it was nice especially the lady playing the piano, its probably the first time someone else has ever played along with me on one of my songs.

I got up this morning to go to a meeting regarding the openng of the pub, it was a bit boring, but it seems that things are on track.  I then went for a walk, been listening to a book for a change as opposed to reading one. Gong back to the meeting, I was put on the spot regarding what we thought we should be doing regarding the pub, I had to speak in front of people, I do this without any problem most weeks but today I was quite anxious, even though I have done it many times, at these meetings

I think I am getting the hang of this posterous thing now.  Its a nice spring day today, and the evenings are getting longer.  I bought some filler today, to fill the hole I made accidentally with the hammer the other day. I guess its another night in front of the tv, I will have to get a social life soon. tonight I sprayed my walking boots with some waterproof spray, I am fed up of getting my feet wet, lets hope it works, if not, I will have to get some new boots.

 Its a nice day today weather wise, I went and did some shopping this morning, my brother stopped to ask if I wanted a lift but I went by bus as it would have involved him moving things around to make room for me. I have been trying to learn a bit about computers from a disc the computer teacher gave me, there are a few problems with the discs, seem to have malware on them or the disc just stops working. I saw a guy from the rambling group at Tesco this morning too, told him I was gutted with the fact that I had to come home, I did not tell him the real reason I had to come home though, the fact that I had forgotten my money.

Its been a long day, and now the font thing on this messing about, I spent most of the day messing about on the computer , not sure what I'm suppose to be doing really.

I have spent all day today at the computer course, it was not too bad really.  I just had to sit there working through a cd rom, I guess some of the things which I learnt might end up coming in useful in the future, if I have not forgotten it, thats the problem with these courses, if you don't keep on using what you have learnt you will forget it/ The cold weather is back,again, I thought I could forget about my thick jumper but I guess it will have to come out again

Seems like whatever I write here goes into blogger too, which is handy as I won't have to write the same rubbish twice. After a lot of messing about this morning I think I finally got onto the ocmputer ocurse, not sure I really want to get on it, but I guess I am now, I shall how it goes. I messed up in a shop this afternoon, thought I had a tenner in my pocket but it was a fiver and I asked the girl in the shop for change of a tenner, I did apologise for getting wrong, will have to be more careful. I nearly wrote another song today, not done so for a while, the only problem is that its the same inspiration as I was using months ago, oh well.

I seem to have been feeling pretty tired most of the day, not sure if was yesterday's exerttions, though I don't feel I exerted myself that much. i fell asleep this afternoon which will make it difficult to get to sleep tonight, my sleep is not great right now, maybe its the new bed, maybe i am taking time to get use to it.

I have written this post once but the useless fucking program stopped working.  I went on a fucking walk today to Craig y Garn, with the local ramblers group and it was quite nice.I got a bit wet, my boots are leaking so I will have to buy a new pair I think.  I hate this fucking program, it never works like its suppose to fucking do.  I hope I get to go out for a walk again soon with this group, its difficult to get to these places though.

The computer course did not go too well again, turned up but no tutor in site, so left, I will have another go on Monday.  There was message from a dellivery company when I got home, it concerns a clock I chose as a gift from this company who supplied me a gadget a few weeks ago.  They were not able to leave it with a neighbour as it needed a signeture, but I thought it would be ok if the neighbour gave a signeture, as they said that it would be ok to deliver it to another address.  I don't like sitting in all day waiting for something, well especially when it was only a free gift like this was, I am not what to do really, I shall just have to be in I guess and hope to God they don't tall all day about it. I did some gardening today, I am trying to grow some leaks, they are quite small right now, and I need to move them to they have more space.

I am sitting in a computer course and am losing the will the live. I eventually left the classroom, I am not in the mood to go back.  I managed to get a bacon roll for 85p this afternoon, which I reckon is quite cheap for one, it wasn't that tasty that was the only draw back Tonight there is a meeting regarding the pub, and there shoiuld be a letter saying we have the money to buy the pub.

Not been a good day today, though ok weather wise, I attended a computer course, but the bloke running it was not impressed with fact I was not there yesterday, nice to be wanted I guess/  This bloke sent me away and told me to ocme back tomorrow, not sure if I am up for that really, as I am not that enamoured with having to sit in front of a computer screen for hours on end. As had nothing to do due to mishap with course I went to Caernarfon for ride on the bus, that was after breaking the old bed I had, up for the bin man to take next week.  I have just come back from a walk I did the other day, and got lost this time too. I decided to plant some potatoes today, I had bought some seed ones a few weeks ago, and read on the packet that you are suppose to plant them in February, well after a chat with a man on the bus who said they should be planted in March and not February, I decided to look again, he was right i was had read it wrong, so I had to dig up and put them away for another

Its blowing a gale again today, things are being blown about the garden, and my house sounds like a musical instrument due to the wind blowing through it. The wind has gone by now, but its still raining, its not cold though, I managed to get my washing done this afternoon and some shopping, just need the bin men to take all that rubbish tomorrow now, so I put some more in it for them, it just seems a good way of getting rid of my old bed.

I bought a printer the other day from amazon, I installed it today, its a wireless one which is handy as I can have it in any room in the house and don't have to have if specifically clogging up the place near the computer.  The only problem with printers I find is the expense of buying the ink, its very expensive just for a few drops of ink. It is a nasty day weather wise again, and i am wondering whether the walking group went on the planned trip up Cnicht, I doubt it as it is probaby too windy, but you never know with that lot, where they will end up going, maybe they did not go up Cnicht but went somewhere else, it is not so wet as yesterday. I was pretty dissappointed with Chelsea today, after they put in a really terrible performance against Liverpool FC.  So we as a communty group have been given money to buy the local pub, i think this is a one in a million chance, as the money was given by the Welsh Assembley Government, the idea is a new one, there are other groups trying

Today is a horrible wet day, the wind and rain is lashing down, its not cold though, which is a good thing, yesterday I managed to work out a walking route I had been trying find for a while, its a nice diversion from the normal route I take to the next town. I have recently joined the rambling associaltion but am finding it a bit difficult to get to participate in the ramblings, the places where the walks start are not on the public transport route, and I am not making friends fast enough to be able to aske someone for a lift, I guess I shall keep on trying, there is a walk taking place around here in a month, I shall try to see if I can make any connections there, this place is pretty rural, and that is why the public transport is so poor.  There is a walk tomorrow but the weather is foul today and not looking much better accoridng for tomorrow according to the forecast, which is a shame, as I would have liked to go on that walk, its a walk up the Cnicht, if the weather had been ok I
