I seem to have a problem with this new laptop, in that it makes my eyes sore after a while, not sure how to sort it out. Well we did not any bad weather here anyway, no matter what the media were banging on about, I think there might have been some wind away from here but nothing here anyway. I got my money back this morning from my transaction with dodgy ebay dealer, they gave me money back but I wonder if they get their money back off dodgy dealer, its a shame really as I wanted to buy the phone, it took good photos, better than this rubbish I have now, but I'm sure I will find a phone that can take good pics.

I decided to go for a swim this morning, as I hadn't been for a couple of weeks, it was quiet again, its much easier to dhte lengths when there is not that many people around, I guess it will be busy with famillies next week as its half term, which, I actually thought was this week. I over slept this morning, usually the kids wake me up going to school or traffic, but nothing woke me this morning and when I woke I was not sure wehat time it was, but it was 9.30 am, not slept in like that for ages, I guess I needed it. After going for a swim I decided to go to Pwllheli on the train, just because it was nice sunny afternoon, I get to go for free, and it the journey is 3 tyimes faster on the train, the bus goes all over the place. IO had half an hour in Pwllheli  before the same train went back, so had a chance to do some shopping, they are building a new Weatherspoons pub there and it coming along quite nicely, I guess it will be finished by the beginning to the year; Anyway I caug

I went to the next town to do my laundry as usual, and while I was there I brought some milk, as I had run out again, I seem to go through those milk cartons very quickly, I have to go to the next town to get milk as its cheaper than the local shop.  Anyway I cought the bus home as usual and did something I shouldn't, when I got home, I chucked the bag on the floor, which had the washing and the milk in it, well the milk did not stay in it after that, the carton broke and my clean washing was covered in milk, I was so annoyed, but I guess should have been more careful.  I have since rinsed the clothes out, and put them out on the line except I have no proper line anymore so have to tie the line to somewhere in the garden which is not ideal.  I am lucky that there is a wind so hopefully I can get the clothes dry.  I have found also some holes in my clothes which is a pain as I am no good at fixing them, so I will have to buy some new ones or take them to a shop to be fixed, which is

W ell the wallpaper is up anyway, on this 'refreshing' attempting I am making here at home, now I just have to be painting the rest of place, my sister help; me put up the wallpaper,  as its something I am not too familiar with, I caught my jumper on the paint work, and have been trying to remove the paint, from the jumper but it won't shift, I have not turps either, which is the only thing that will remove it really, it is hard work to get it off.  I will probaby y throw the garment away, I have had for a long time anyway, I need some new stuff, even though I don't really have the money to buy any. This year there has been a lot of moving things around the house, first there was the rewiring and new kitchen fitting and now there is the decorating after the rewiring, which has involved a lot of moving thing around. so much so, that I am not sure where everything this, hopefully I will get the place straight one of these days after I have finished the painting

Well my free water supply has gone, well its been buried anyway, I had this pipe in the garden which did not have a tap on it, which the water was free, as it was bypassing the water meter, I had been meaning to put a tap on it fo ages but never got round to it, for one reason and another, anyway, due to the fact the shed that it was in was being pulled down, the people decided the tap could not be left in garden uncovered so it had to be buried in the garden, which is understandable, if I had wanted it I guess I would have got round to putting a tap on it by now.  I guess I can always dig it up again if want to restart it but i doubt I will. I am due to do a radio interview tomorrow, I have never done one before, well not live anyway, I think I did a recorded one once. I am not doing it alone which is good,  The interview will be about a this walking group I go with every month, its a group dedicated to people with bad eyesight, and it has volunteers there too. i am hoping to get the

It seems I am having to remember more and more passwords these days, as the ones I wanting to use seem to be being taken up, and I seem to get mixed up with which password goes where.  I am having to get reminded more often too. I have bought a new laptop today, it was ok in relation to price but his windows 8 is a bit awkward to get used to, I may have to do a course in which is quite funny as I have done loads of computer courses.  I got it from Staples, its not a make I have heard of before, the currys shop was quite near but I will not go there as they ripped me off, well stole 300 quid from they are a bunch of crooks and I will never set foot in their shop again, they seem to have bought PC world, so I will not go there either as they are associating with these crooks. I was told by the guy in the shop today that windows 8 is faster, well obviously that depends on if you know how to use it or not I guess,  I am a bit dissappoined the other laptop broke, but it was getting on my ne

Well the skip has finally gone from the front of the house, so hopefully now the moaning neighbour will shut, but I guess it was a bit of an inconvenience, it was here much longer than I thought it would be, and I think I would have been moaning too, I guess.  The people who brought the skip here still haven't given me a key to lock the new shed, or metal container or whatever it is, hopefully it wll get here soon.  They have also no finished doing the work. I ordered a 'new' phone today, it is actually second hand, I want to take advantage of the Wifi places that is available around in places these days, the phone was quite cheap as it was second hand I have bought a second hand phone before and it was fine for a long time. Well the weather seems to be holding out quite well, hopefully it will stay dry for another few days.  I guess if it rains I can get on with the diy I need to do round here.  This village these days seem very quiet, there is hardly anyone around, I reme
