My elbow hurts today, probably due to the swim I had yesterday, it has not been right since I fell over a few months ago and guess the swim must have aggrevated it.  I must be getting old, I am blogging about health problems. It is a lot colder today and very windy but I guess it is the last day of November, I have been a bit concerned about this training this that is coming up I have not been before, but it seems like it won't be as bad as I thought not sure why I have to do some training after I have done the job for over 5 years, oh well I guess it will be change. Apparently its a national strike today, but it has not affected me so far, good luck to them, I don't hold out much faith in them getting anywhere but at least they had a day off.

I got a letter from the housing company today, asking if I wanted to move as they are claiming I am under occupying this place, which is technically true I guess as it has '2' bedrooms, but these bedrooms are pretty small and in reality they should be made into one. I am down for a transfer but they want me to add other places to the list. I guess they want me to go and move into a flat or something a one bedroomed one.  It might actually be a good idea to move from this damned horrible place really, there does not seem to be much here for me, I have no reason to stay and I mgiht have a new start.  I might even be able to find a job fif I move away from here, I did not really want to end up back here in the first place, it was only because I had nowhere else to go I ended up here and it has been a nightmare really since the day I came back here, I have not had much fun here its been crap and maybe its now time to move on, especially since this latest mess which has been created

Today Gary Speed the Welsh team manager, was found dead, he had taken his own life according to the news report, very sad, I saw him yesterday on the tv programme Football focus, nothing looked out of place, but you never know I guess.  He seemed to have things going in the right direction as regards the football team, they were winning, though I guess they were only games that were not that important, its a shame they were not competative ones then he might have had something to get his teeth into. It might sound selfish but I hope this Welsh team work hard and qualify for the next world cup just as a tribute to Gary Speed a really great Welsh footballer.

I went to Pwllheli today and on the way home I decided to check the time of the bus and the time said the next bus was an hour later than I thought it would be, then I noticed the display of the time, it had not been turned back an hour at the end of October for some reason. On the way home on the bus the phone went and there was no one there I was bit puzzled as here was no log of the call, I then realised it must have been me setting of the fake call setting by mistake, oh well.

Bloody hell, I am trying to learn to play a Bob Dylan song on the guitar and finding it hard to get the right amount of bars in, I need to listen to the song a few more time I guess, which I don't find easy as I am not a fan of Bob Dylan, so why learn the song you ask, well I guess I am trying to learn it as I can play in a jam that might be happening and I guess it might be good to play something which I don't much care for. I also recorded a tune which I have written today on my phone and it seems to have come out ok its quite a nice tune to jig about to/ , There is a lot of rubbish on before the music comes out, I am thinking of doing a video or just recording this piece of music which I have called walk in the park for some reason.

I went for a bit of walk this morning, got lost a couple of times and also ended up in the mud, the mud created by the workmen who have wrecked the land round here in the past few months.  It was a lovely day for a walk, this weather is quite strange for this time of year, its usually raining and cold, but not this year, its very mild.     This evening I fell asleep in front of the tv so will find it difficult to sleep tonight.  I have just been for a stroll round the village, I came across a skank, also the fair is here tomorrow and there did not seem much of a sign of anything there really not sure if its because its not on its usual date or not as the fair is suppose to be today but due to today being a Sunday its on tomorrow, maybe the confusion has kept a lot of the usual fair people away, which is a shame as its going to be a lovely day again tomorrow weather wise.

A very nice day weatber wise for this time of year, more like summer today than autumn.  I went for a haircut today, have to go out of the area a bit as I can's seem to locate a reasonably priced on locally.   I am still breaking in my new walking boots which actually got a bit of a soaking the other day, I fell into this marshy thing, they are still quite damp on the outside

I got some new walking boots today, I had bought them before but the size was too big so sent them back which cost me postage and it cost me postage to get the smaller pair, so the price is a bit more than it was initially, anyway these seem fine, just need to break them in a bit now, before using them for a hike, not sure when that will be.  I got fed up with the other boots they were always leaking water, I will probably keep them for the time being and not throw them out.

It is another mild day for this time of year. I have decided to redecorate the living room in this place, I am going to get rid of the paper on the wall and paint them instead, the paper is starting to come off anyway, and if I paint the walls, its easier to maintain, just paint any blemishes that are there.  It is very quiet around here today, well is quiet here most of the time I guess. I think I will make a stew for tea.
