I seemed to have been wound up a bit more this year about this xmas lark and not in a good way as I don't like the thing and will be pleased when it all done and dusted for anther year though the next one will soon be here I guess.  The fat they come round quicker means I am getting older and would explain why the older you get the more ambivalent you become about crimbo, but there are a hardcore of older people I believe whole like xmas come hell or high water and maybe become more fanatical with age I don't know this of course but would hazard a guess that it might be case. The whole thing has now become drowned in commercialism and is a good excuse for religious folk to not like this time of year.  There is a lot of hype just for one day which comes round every year but I suppose its the pressure of capitalism who want you spend spend and consume but in doing this everything is finite while someone is consuming someone is going without I guess.  I doubt all these things

It is a very bleak and dark and miserable day made worse by my health situation.  It was not a successful night last night in the music session due to someone coming along and putting a black cloud over it due to what I regard as totally selfish behaviou with them being really anti social.  Some reckon I should be a bit more compassionate but not when all this person does is cause everyone to be uncomfortable and due to over politeness or not wanting to take responsibility the situation goes on and on and its tedious and tiresome. I heard today that the bus company I usually use is not going to be operating and that another one will take over \I really hope they are better than the one that has been doing the job. I still have no interest in this xmas thing, though I have had a nice invitation which I  not too sure about accepting to be honest

At last I have found out what happened to the tickets for next years gig. They were posted out to the wrong address which of course I should have realised earlier was going to happen as I did not give an address as I did not want them to be sent out in the first place. I will have to go back and pick them up again I guess its no hard ship as I have plenty of time and its no hardship going to Llandudno. Well the rotten xmas period is now in full swing tesco had those wretched xmas songs playing I have heard them all my life as theyh came out when I was young.  I would have thought they would have had some new songs by now its getting tedious and just making xmas worse than ever

I decided to go to Llandudno today to pick up the tickets that I booked to see the Manic street preachers next May I had to go and pick them up aas it would have cost me 6 quid to have them posted to me. I wanted to go on the train but Arriva trains Wales did not have enough stock to put on the line today I am not sure how long this is going to go on for but I assume that this has something do to with the fact that they are not running the service from next year onwards so they are slowly withdrawing from from the service and we can expect the quality of the the arrangement to detiorate from here on in until the new people who will be running the line to take over.  No train so I had to go on a wretched distressed motors bus which is not the most comfortable way to go to Llandudno.  I got there about ll am or so and went to theatre to pick up the tickets only to find out they had been posted out.  I told them I had not seen the tickets the woman behind the counter told me if I had no
