reclamation

It has been a nice day today weather wise, not that good in relation to other things, I am having trouble getting removing a tinny sound from a string on a guitar I bought the other day,  I didn't pay much for the guitar so I guess you get what you pay for.

Every now and then today also, someone, well I say someone, its the neighbour, comes to the front of the house and helps herself to some stone that is there, which is the rubble from the shed that has been pulled down, I guess she is one of those people who collects things likes to put things which no one else wants to use I guess.  There are apparently some bricks in the rubble which are worth about a pound each, if you were wanting to buy them from a reclamation yard. They don't make these kind of bricks anymore, probably for a reason, but I guess you need to fix an old building and want the same look these bricks might come in handy, they are like new really the ones that I have here but have been there for about a hundred years I guess, its a shame that they are going to end up in the dump, but that's the kind of society we live in today, a throw away society I guess.

I see that dancing program is back soon, I am a bit surprised that it is time for that again, time flies these days,   Its also a week since the beer festival which was held here in the village, like I say time flies.  It is September tomorrow, and i am suppose to be going away next Sunday for a while, I am planning to catch the ll.45 train from the next town, there is a bus going to that town, from here, at 11.42 am, a really stupid time to be going, probably the most stupid time it could be going, it will just miss the train when it gets into the town, the distance is 3 miles and it will not do that distance in 3 minutes, a really selfish stupid arrangement, There is suppose to be joined up transport service in Wales, it is hard enough getting round the place without selfish bus service companies making it even more awkward.

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
