Well, it feels more like winter today, than spring, the weather  is all over the place, and also I heard on the radio that the Daily Express reckons we are in for soggy summer again, pretty depressing, but I guess it is Monday, blue Monday, so nothing is going to be great.  The electrician came round to finish putting in the extractor fan, which, being Monday, I was not too pleased with, as there is a draught coming through it, the kitchen is cold enough as it is.  There should have been painters turning up to finish painting but no sign of them, also there was some inspector from the housing company suppose to come here.  He hadn't turned up by lunch time so I went out and anyway, the job that wanted inspecting was outside and there was no need for me to be there so I thought.  I came home and there was card through the letter box saying the inspector had been I was a bit pissed off, as it seemed he had not been to look at the job, which I told them was at the back, I had hoped there would be painters here to show whoever it was, the job that needed doing. I did not stay in the house all day as sometimes there inspections don't happen they don't turn up.  I rang the housing company and apparently there needed to be an inspection of the inside of the house too, a complete shambles really, anyway they are coming again in 2 weeks which is a bit of drag.  I really don't trust this housing company, they are useless, I have been waiting for 2 years for the roof to get fixed, had some crap excuse once about the builder dying, they are pathetic.  There is water coming in through the ceiling, I have reported this job too over 2 years ago and nothing has been done, dealing with these people can be frustrating, at least with the council, when you had an inspection, they came round quite soon after that, not this lot, though they the same people, except they get contractors to do the jobs now and maybe they get the crapiest ones who never turn up.

strife

My laptop has been acting up for the past few days, refusing to shut down properly. I suspect it got stuck on an update. I tried restoring it but lost patience and ended up resetting it, which wiped out all my apps and data—a total hassle. On top of that, I got an email today about a pair of glasses I ordered online. Normally, I wouldn’t buy glasses this way, but it was my only option at the time. I had spoken with an optometrist about the order but decided to place it myself since it seemed they were just ordering them online anyway, and no options were available in-store. I searched for my old prescriptions at home but couldn’t find last year’s, so I had to visit the shop to request a copy. I sent it to them, but this morning I got an email saying the copy was blurry and missing key details. They also asked whether the glasses were for reading or distance vision, which I wasn’t sure how to answer because I usually just rely on my prescription. I contacted the optometrist again and fi...

messing about wih clocks

Tonight is the night they mess around with the clocks again, so it will be dark earlier, according to the clock tomorrow, which is shame really, as its dark enough as it is at this time of year, they should be turning the clock forward really so that we get more light in the evening, but I guess that would mean it would be dark in the morning, and those who get up early might not like that, but there are street lights these days, these old rules need changing.  Apparently it is something to do with Scotland that they 'need' it lighter in the morning, well I wish they would have got their independence and we could be spared this messing around with the clock.  Apparenlty this messing around is bad for some people's health and it has been reported that some people suffer a heart attack.  Well I guess its going to happen so I might aswell just accept it, at least the weather makes stupid things like this a bit more bareable ,it has not been too badk today and its not going t...

New Year

  Well we had a different new years eve last night, there was power outage, this was the second in few weeks there seems to be a lot on this line as parts of the village rarely get affected, its a nuisance, I call this street power cut street, we should be paying less standing charge, which is extortion anyway. There was a huge roar in the pub when the electric came back and everyone could pay for their drinks the tills could not work obviously.   I did not see the new year in in the pub I came home for that as I had gone out earlier to get warm in the pub  Basically it was shit end to shit year where health issues have made life a bit difficult for me, those issues are still around so they have the potential to make this year just as shit I guess, hopefully that won't happen I seemed to be the oldest in the pub by the time it was time to go home except for  a neighbour who is a few months older than me, anyway it has gone now, I guess and we have move on  ...
