football

Well I was hoping I would have been watching Wales play in the playoff today but its Ireland, well I say hoping, I know really that Wales don't do things like get to world cups I have experienced the dissappointment many times.  I think the reason mainly is that Wales I guess does not see itself as a country wholly so when it comes to 'fighting for your country' the fight isent there and teams with lesser ability knock us out due to they having more fight in them as happened with the bogytrotter I mean the Irish but they did play like bogtrotters really and hopefuly will not get the chance to stink out the the world cup.  Though the world cup is strange the people who run the thing have not bothered to comment on the injustice suffered by Northern Ireland they just have to suck it up which is not really fair as that desicion had nothing to do with football but all do with with a stupid mistake which would not have been so bad in the qualifying games but why did it happen in such an impotant game it just makes a mockery of the game really which I guess is a message to say do not get so involved in the game I suppose.

 Anyway I thought my anguish regarding world cup qualification would be over next time as the wqrld cup is being expanded so Wales have to qualify but I found that its not in 4 years its being expanded but in 8 so I still have a long time to wait but hopefully I will be around to see it happen.

There was a van outside the house earlier fixing the street light again it seems to go off quite regularly recently which is great as my bedroom is nice and dark so I was a bit dissappointed it has been fixed but hopefully it will break again soon and I can have the darkness back or I will have to buy dark curtains or move as its not that great having to sleep in the front its not easy to find places especially when you don't have any money.

 Update on street light, they came to fix it but its still not working its the council guess they forgot to bring the right part

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
