There are many things that are not nice about ageing in fact I doubt there is anything postive about ageing really only I guess the fact you are still alive.  One of the main things which I dislike is how your skin gets thinner and the fact that you can feel you bones a lot easier under the skin the padding which has been there all your life is or seems to be rapidly decreasing.  This loss of padding for a want of a better word also make your skin loser.  I guess no one can live for ever but its no fun getting older really its not for the faint hearted as someone says. I don;t think there is anything much anyone can do to change the damage to the skin except spend a lot of money on some creams which might or might not work.  I don't have enough to buy a load to cover my body and I don't really fancey sitting there for ages putting the gunk on so I guess I will have to put up with the sag I guess and the horrible boney feel of my skin its horrible but that's life I guess a

Well had my day well and truely fucked up by some shitty bus driver today.  I had planned to go for walk with a crowd of people about 6 miles from here but it involved changing buses ones.  The bus from the village was due to get to the place where I had to change about 5 to 10 minutes before I was due to catch the connection.   I caught the bus from the village at 10.30ish it was ok it then got to the next stop and the diver decided to get off the bus to have a chat with the another bus driver basically wasting time.  This diver ws a woman and we know how they like to chat I know that is a sexist remark but for heaven sake she must know its tight to get the connection.  anyway the silly cow go to the place wher the connection ws about a minute late, the other bus haed gone. I guess the other bus coule have hung back to check if there was anyone who wanted the bus but I guess that is too much to ask.  The bus service round here is absolute shite. So the day has been ruined really I

I have bad eyesight or whatever the term is.  I have been going to play cards with some people and I was struggling to see the normal caards so decided to bring my own cards which were a bit bigger than the normal ones.  Now most people understand which is quite refreshing really but there is alwys one twat I guess who is too stupid to understand.  Now it's not easy being different but I guess I am more interested in playing the cards than I am about fitting in. Most of my life has been spent 'denying' my eyesite issue but now I have reached a point where I don't care I guess I have grown too old to worry about what folk think or maybe I just don't care anymore which I gues it quite sad

I had rather a lot to drink last night too much really,  I guess this was due to the time I went out.  I went to a local barn dance thingy it was quite a good night had a chat with a few might have said some silly thngs as you do well as I do when I have had too much to drink it was a nice change though from the usual routine of just going to the local pub.  The weather was quite nice as it is today it is really hot right now a real flaming june of a day. When it is this hot one feels that they should make the most of it and go out and enjoy it and I feel guilty if I don't which is silly I guess just because the weather improves it does not mean I have to change my life completely and start enjoying things. This is a pic of the old shed that was in my garden and which was taken down a few years ago and replaced with metal container.  I had forgotten about this shed until I came across a photo of it

I had an unpleasent experience at a bank locally the other day and today, the manager rang up about it as I had filled in a feedback form.  I related to the episode to the manager and she said she would give me the money back that I want to enquiere about which was nice and forgot to thank her.  She assured me it would not happen again and I am sure it won't it was just one those things I guess that does not happen very often but was not a pleasent experince. I am not a fan of poor customer service its not hard to be polite well especially when you are being paid for it.  If you have a probem, with the job go and do something else would be my advice I guess.  It is not often a company rings me up to enquire about my opinion on customer service

Waiting here in anticipation for the Wales v Serbia game or should that be the other way round as it is the Serbs who are at home more's the pity.  Wales need to win this one to have any chance of going through automatically to the finals in Russia.  I am hopeful they can win but somehow I think it is a bit too much to ask especially when the main player is not there. It is very windy here today and not too warm either I guess the summer is going by again without much warm weather.  I will probably have to go away if I want to get some warm weather but I doubt that will happen as i have not been for a long lont time.

It has been a drab day weather wise no sign of summer.  I decided to contact some old friends today using the whatsapp thing.  I had noticed that one of my friends had decided to use it, I have not seen her for about 4 years.  She replied quite promptly and I got the answer to a question I had had for a while that of where she was living now and its Dorset but she thinks she might move again.  I am beginning to think she is one of those people who once they start to move struggle to stop and find somewhere to settle down, they seem compelled to move all the time. I messaged a couple of other people too and they also repllied one of them who I have known for over 30 years lives in the south of England the other one I have only known a few years and lives in London.  This whats app is handy in that its basically free to chat to people on if you have wifi.  I use it on the web mainly as the keyboard on phones is a bit small It was another day and another bus journey I am getting a bit

Well the tooth or lack of tooth is not hurting as much today anyway. It is other things which are troubling me today, like the poor weather which we are having right now but there is not a lot I can do about that I guess. The election is nearly upon us and I am torn really who I want to win as this year the ones in power have done me a big favour but I am not a fan of that party and would not like to have them in again really but the others might undo the favour this one did me a while ago.  They did not deliberatly do me a favour well it wasn't them who did the favour really. Well now i am able to edit this as I have sorted out some problem I had,  the cojmputer seemed to be continuously printing the letter d I did not know for ages what the problem was then I discovered it was the fact that something was pressing on the laptop keyboard

I had a tooth taken out on Friday it was the first one for a long time.  It was me who decided to have it taken out, and that was really a first.  The dentist would not advise me to take it out he said it was my choice well I thought I had no choice as it was the only way I was going to get rid of this pain which arose now and then.  I am not sure why he would not advise me to take it out or not it might be something to do with the fact that it was against what he thought his job was and that there were other options which might work, but then again might not.  I was not happy about having my tooth taken out or having to pay for the privelage as it was them who had caused the pain really with the filling they gave me.  The destist should have acted a long time ago before the pain had worn me down. Anyway the tooth is out now so its too late to do anything about it I was not too comfortable with havintg and it does not help that the socket is still sore.  I am sure it will heal in tim
