Dawns y Glaw

I acheved a musical ambiton on Saturday night, I heard the above song beng performed live and I did,'t have to go too far to achieve it, only to the local pub.  I had heard the song many times and think its one of the best pop songs ever written in the Welsh language.  Its just a feel good tune from beginning to end and it must be great fun to play it and see people jumping up and down to it.  It is just a very catchy tune and you can't help but smile while listening to it. The version on Saturday night was not performed by the band who originally did it who were Anweledig, but by ex members of that bad, who are now called Brython Shag, this version sounded good anyway.  When I was growing up I was as bit snobbish about Welsh pop music I looked down on it a bit but now I regret this as I did not go and see the band who performed it I did have plenty of chances but didn't take them I will not make this mistake again and look down on Welsh pop music  or look down on

benefit system

This is just more on my mistreatment by the Dept of Work and Pension regarding the Personal Independence Payments fiasco.  Last week I spoke to friend who is visually impaired, but otherwise fit and healthy.  He made a claim for this PIP and was awarded three hundred pounds a month due to his disability, great you might say, he his getting help with this disability.  Well I guess he is getting financial 'help'  Now its hard to get work in this day and age in this country and the statistics prove its much much harder for visually impaired person to get work, primarily due to ignorance on behalf of the employers, but I believe also that its due to the benefit system. Visually impaired people are as if people didn't know and it seems a lot don't, are human beings, so, I believe if you give them enough money they won't want to work and if they have enough money and are struggling to find work in the first place, they have an incentive not to 'try harder' and
