This is a pic I took the other day of a very calm afon dwyfor, I had not been there before, I went on a walk with the ramblers and really enjoyed it, I had the chance to go on a walk today, but it was quite a way away, an hour in the car, I could not be bothered with that, though maybe I should have gone, as there was not a lot going on here/  I had not been for a walk for a long time until the other day, as my girth is beginning to prove.  There is a chance to go on thursday but its a bit awkward to get to the start point as usual as I don't drive, I will have to try to sort this out.

As I have said nothing much was going on here, just some cleaning, which needed to be done, there is a lot of mud outside the door, and i hope the builders will finish the job this week, as its a bit awkward having them around the place,

The tv and radio at the moment is just full of Nelson Mandela, he was great man but I think they are over doing it, but I guess it take the emphasis away from xmas, which is something else I dislike, I am so glad it is on a Wednesday this week as there will only be 2 days of stoppages.

I bought some playing card the other day and am hoping to take them to the next whist drive, the print is bigger on these cards which will help with my eyesight, well actually the cards are a bit bigger, I am sure there will be some moaning about it, but if it helps me then they should not go on about it.

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
