Useless talktalk

I received a new router from talktalk the broadband supplier, the other day and I can't get it work wirelessly, which is a pain as the ethenet cable is only short, I rang the talktalk thing and they could not manage to sort it, so they passed it on to some engineer who I assumed would ring me back at some point, well I waited and waited and nothing happend, so I rang them again, and apparently there was no fault reported, this company is really shoddy, I am stuck in a contract with them for another 10 months which is a pain, I could pay that off and go somewhere else I guess but its too expensive, I feel a bit trapped and stuck in this shit company, I think I got duped in getting a contract with them, got wore down by some shitty telephone person.

The paint work on the kitchen wall has also gone funny for some reason, there are black marks on it, which I can only assume to be mould, I have reported it and hopefully it will get sorted soon, well sooner than the other problems round here get sorted anyway.

On a lighter note so to speak I came across a new chord today to play on the guitar, its funny, when you get a new chord its like getting a new toy to play with you just play it over and over again and just see where it goes, and how it sounds in different places.

This week I have managed to do few things, such as try and get some work and also managed to organise my hospital appointment on tuesday to Rhyl hospital, I have to go ther as there is a really long waiting list to get to see the person in my local hospital, I am not sure the appointment will do any good but I guess I have to go and see. It will be a change of scenery if nothing else.

I got the rugby thing wrong today, I thought the scratch team from here would lose but they managed a win, hopefully they will get beaten in the next 2 games, as its not possible to put a scratch team together to beat an international side, unless that side allows it and according to the report that's what happened, they missed kicks, they must have had a few quid on the scratch team.

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
