free water

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 point over that people who are visually impaired suffer along from social isolation, and that groups like this can be a help; to them to get out and about again, they can be with people who are like themselves, and the group caters for the visually impaired, well as much as it can anyway, I have been going with them for many years, well I can't remember when I first started to go to be honest, I thought it was 2005 but the organisor does not think it was then, so I have no idea when it was.  i have suggested few walks for the group, and it has been fun taking them on the route

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
