I went to Bangor today on the new bus service, the one replacing the old X32, this service is called 32 as well, but this only goes from Porthmadog to Caernarfon/Bangor, whereas the other one came all the way from Machynlleth.  I am glad this service is there, I was worried that once the X32 had gone, we would be left at the mercy of Express Motors 's 'service' to Bangor, which goes all the way round the small villages and takes for ever.  This service is actually better than the old one as it stop everywhere, the other only had designated stops on the route.  I am just so glad we are not completely at the mercy of distressed motors round here, they are a real crap company.

When I got to Bangor I went to the guitar shop, which has changed hands, it is now run by a couple from Penrhyndeudraeth, I am sure I have seen the lady of the shop before but could not remember where.  I wanted to sort out some twanging noise which my guitar makes, which the top E makes and is very frustrating and annoying. I have tried all kinds of remedies but nothing seems to work, and what they said in the shop did not seem to be what I thought the problem was, I guess they need to see the thing so I will take the thing there one of these days.  While I was in the shop I bought a gig bag to carry the guitar, the one I had has seen better days and the zip has broken, well I| have thrown it away now I have this new one.  This new one is padded so if I do bump into anything there is less chance of damage.  I have another guitar but I don't have enough strings to string it up so I will need to buy some more.  I am off to Bangor again tomorrow to get the forms filled in for the benefit people.

I left some washing out to dry today before going to Bangor, well they did not dry anyway, I think it has rained a little bit

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
