boots

Well, I finally found my memory stick, where I thought it might have been, under the carpet.  I had been looking for it for ages, but was convinced it was not there but I finally thought I had better take a look in case it was there and it was.  I can stop mythering about that now anyway.  I am glad I got the photographs back I was not that bothered about anything else really.  It seems my twitter account is ok again too, which is good.

Today I went to Bangor to look for some walking boots, mine are in a bad way, they let in water everywhere, lucky I have waterproof socks but I need a good pair of boots, its not easy to find some though, they are so expensive and I am worried I might buy the wrong things, I did see some good ones today, but I was not sure whether to buy them or not, I am not how I will come to the decision about buying them, maybe I will just go for the brasher hillmaster, which seem to be the ones that everyone wears, they are over a hundred quid, but I guess once I have got them I will have sorted that problem out, I really enjoy walking, its good fun, especially when you meet new people, who have interesting things to say for themselves.  I don't like getting my feet wet, but I guess that is an occupational hazard, due to my situation, I am not going to go walking in wellingtons anyway.  I will go and have a look in Betws y coed for some boots, maybe they have the ones I want there I am not ordering them over the internet, as I might have to send them back due to the size not being right, and I can't be bothered with that, its too much hastle as it could go on for a while.

whist

Well I achieved something last night, which I thought was going to be beyond me, I guess to a lot of people what I achieved, was pretty trivial, but I guess we all see things different;ly, what I achieved was to get over 170 score in a whist drive.  Last night was the first time I had ever done it, had a few scores in the 160's but not in the 170's which I see as the holy grail of scores to get as you will probably win then, which in fact I didn't last night, someone scored more than me, by 1 point.  I was not that bothered about that, all I was concerned about was getting a score above 170, I have been going to whist for years off and on and was never, until last night able to get the magic score, I am surprised I got the score last night as I had a bad headache all evening, I guess it was the luck of the cards that got me through. I thought I would never get the score, as I don't see very well, and struggle to make out the cards sometimes which is a bit of a strain,

great war

I went to an exhibition today, which was about the first world war, it mainly seemed to be full of photos of men from my home village who had fallen in the great war, they were all young obviously not ravaged by time.  It was a bit sad to think that so many young men from the place where I grew up were killed, it had their names and the names of where they lived, the names of houses and streets are the same today Sometimes you feel the outside world does not affect what happens here, but I guess it must do as it dragged a load of the young men here into the conflict which was going on at that time, I am not sure I agree with them going to fight, but that is neither here nor there, the fact is they did and that was what was going on at that time. My grandfather was in the first world war, but he was lucky enough to survive, even though he did leave his calf muscle over there in wherever he was, it must have been hell for him really and I guess I will never know what he saw there, al

shack

I did not go the 4th day of the walk, I could not face another 10 miles of plodding around the countryside, I think this is mainly due to the fact that I have not been walking quite so much in the last year, due to bad weather and things like that.  I did not think I would even finish 2 days but I did 3 in the end, more than anyone else except the person who organised the walk.   Instead of going on the walk i tidied up around the place, and just sat around, and also watched the football this afternoon, it was a crap day.  I did not even go for a short walk, its still perishing out there, I have a short walk on Wednesday, a kind of trail run for group who want to do this short walk, a recky or something they call it. I have at last heard when the new kitchen is being put in, apparently its on the !0th of April, I should have a received a 21 day notice but I didn't, which I guess is typical of the organisation who are doing the work. I am a bit apprehensive about the rewiring as the
