Well, the rotten saga of the damp in my house goes on, the guy I phoned today, did say the was embarrised though, but like all the other Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd bullshit, its just words, I will have to go the newspaper next time, I think it might be the only way I can get them to do the work, they are vile. Heard last night, that they are closing the above building in the village, it is know as Caban y Pensiynwyr, which translates in the cabin of the pensioners, I think it was designed originally for pensioners to go and hang out and have their meeting for their clubs, it is owned by the village, it was given to the village as  a gift. My first memories of it are going there to the library when I was a child, it had a big cupboard full of books where my friend's mum was the librarian.  I think the library was open on Tuesday and Friday, I think I went there on a Friday around tea time to get some books.

I seem to be still no nearer to getting the damp sorted out in this house, well one particular patch anyway.  I reported the damp last year nearly a whole year ago now.  Someone came to see it initially and said it needed sorting, then someone came round to see what actually needed doing, and this was in February.  For a long time I did not hear anything, so I decided to ring Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd.  According to their records, the problem had been fixed and they had the photos to prove it.   Well the problem had not been fixed, and I could have sent them photos to prove that.

Anyway a few weeks went by, I was expecting some notice that the job was down to be done, well that would

Well it was much more straight forward, this time, getting the manhole cover outside the house fixed,  This cover was making a a bit of clanging noise when a car went over it but not as bad as last time but I am grateful to the water board for sorting it out so quickly, hopefully it will not go again too soon. Just spent the afternoon watching the football game between Wales and Israel, they were playing for a place in the European championships next summer, last time I looked Israel was not in Europe but I guess Israel could come back with the fact that Wales is not an independent country, but then again maybe Israel should not exist anyway, due to what they have done to Palestine.  The politics is very complicated and I guess its very difficult to organise a sporting competition in these circumstances.  Wales have also jumped to ninth place in word rankings, which to me is rubbish Wales are never the 9th best team in the world, but I suppose FiFa have to do something, its what the
