broadband

It has been a rotten day weather wise more of the damned wet stuff, it seems all we get is the crappy stuff.  Also my tinnitus has been playing up really bad for the last few days, its really vile.   I rang the broadband company up this morning and the chappy who answered reckons my broadband is not stopping tomorrow so I don't need a new supplier, but I was told otherwise by someone else who works for the company I guess I shall just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.

Tanner

My raging tinnitus is playing up again today, its vile, I have this piercing noise in my head, it is quite maddening.  I went to a funeral of a friend today, his name was Tanner, well that was what everyone called him anyway, that was his surname his first name was Alun, he was a very nice chap, your stereotypical gentle giant I guess you would say.  I did not go to the church only to the cemetry, people were wearing Liverpool football shirts there, I was not sure why at first then it dawned on me, he was a liverpool supporter.  I guess no one is perfect, I did not know he was such a fan though, but I guess he was.  Some told me he looked terrible just before he passed away, he was a big man, apparently he had lost a lot of weight due to the cancer, I am glad I did not see him that way and can remember him as he was, a big jolly chap, which he was really. RIP Mr Tanner. I have this pain in my neck which I have had for months and it won't go away, guess its because I am getting olde

olympics

Its not too bad a day weather wise today.  It is the second day of competition in the Olympics in London.  it is nice to see the Judo again today, its pretty exciting stuff really, though I am a bit dubious about how people win. But i guess it is many many years since I did some Judo, but it gave me an appetite to give it a go again, though I am probably bit too long in the tooth for it now I would think, but I guess you never know, the training would be good and it would handy for the exercise and it would get me out of the house. I have only a couple more days of this broadband then I will have to buy a new one, I need to ring the talk talk thing about some MAC code too.

pub

Today is the day that the olympics starts here in Britain, so it will be another few weeks of sport, I have seen a lot of sport on tv this summer, including the football tournament and then wimbledon.  I usually like the Olympics really, and I am sure I will enjoy this one, I would like to go to London to see the park to be honest , maybe I will when the disabled olympics starts as the place will not be quite so busy then, and I met a ticket to go in there, I guess a lot of people will think like this too, I will see how it goes. I don't have a lot let of this present service provider, only few days and apparently I have to wait for another 2 weeks before I can get an internet connection. I did not know it would be like this when I started to change the the service provider but talk talk won't supply me with a stand alone broadband service, for some reason. I went to Caernarfon today for the afternoon, and to do a bit of shopping, also I joined twitter today, I don't quite

walls

I still have not found my memory stick, its a bit of a nuisance.  The guy who did the decorating came round today, and I have since found some part of the job I am not that happy with, the paper seems a bit lose in some places, I understand that the walls here are of poor quality and really need improving, but I am a bit concerned the paper will get ripped eventually.  There is not a lot I can do now, as the walls have been papered, so its not possible to fix them. I got rid of an old freeview box today, to one of those recycling sites, the chap came to get it this evening, I had no use for so someone else might as well have it really.

tennis

The paste on the wallpapering is drying up slowly, this house has a lot of condensation so I guess it will take a few days.  I have noticed that some of the paper is a bit lose to, so it will need some more paste I guess.  i still have not found that memory stick.# This afternoon I watched the tennis, in the end the Scottish guy lost, but gave it a good shot, his serve seemed to let him down when the roof was on, I guess it was the pressure of the match maybe.  Today it has rained again for most of the day.  I am glad that the decorating has been done, I can put the room back the way it was now.

pick up

I got up this morning with a bit of a hangover, I drank more than I wanted to again, this is probably because I went out too early again.  The weather is a lot better today, it has stopped raining, but apparently its on its way back again, there have been bad floods in other parts of the country. My living room still stinks of wallpaper paste, which is taking a while to dry after being put up yesterday.  its funny how white wallpaper makes the room look bigger.  I think I will paint the walls eventually with magnolia paint probably, like there is on the walls of the rest of the house. the walls of the rest of the house could do with a bit of fresh paint on them, but I am not a fan of painting really, maybe I will get someone else to do it for me.  I seem to be having some difficulty finding a pair of glasses that I have, this is due to things having had to be moved around due to the decorating, also I can't find a memory stick either, but good thing about the moving about is that I
