the weekend

Its been a bad day on the sporting front today.  The football team I follow, which is Chelsea, could only manage a draw against a poor West Ham Utd side, I guess it typifies the season the team has had, how far it has fallen in just a few months really.

 Also the England rugby team managed to win the Grand Slam with the help of a Welsh referee, which is ironic really, maybe he was trying too hard not to be bias, I guess he is only human.

 There was a very interesting documentary about Michael Jackson on this evening, though which was showing his journey from Motown to the place he ended up in.  I was a fan of his music, well I still am I guess, I remember geting the album off the Wall for my 18th birthday, from this girl, who I had been at school with and I guess fancied to some extent, I told her I loved the gift, she reckoned I was just creeping she did not believe me how thrilled I was, but I really was, I guess that's life.

 I am still a bit pissed off with tutor at the college, today, he was a bit rude yesterday and a bit of an asshole, I think I will be quite glad to finish that course as I am not getting on too well with the staff on it, and the course frustrates me really, the second year well that's what its called has not been second year as such, as I have been shoved back into the first year, I guess the tutor thought he was clever doing that, its a good thing I don't want this qualification.

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
