Well this snow is a bit more slippery than usual it seems to me as I have fallen over again today. I did last night and this morning again I guess its down to the shoes I wore but its no fun when you have a painful shoulder too which is even more painful now.  There s also a cold bitterly wind today I am sure its winter's last stand and that it will improve after this period, it has been a long winter really. The sun is quite warm though really I guess its the sign of spring coming.  It does not help dealing with this winter having to hang around and wait nearly half an hour for a bus which is what happens these days due to the shit bus services that are existing round here due to the shanangans of the the old  bus firm,  Everyone is now suffering due to the fraudulant behaviour and the crap way the council is dealing with it they are reluctant to spend money |I think and this will impact on the economy of the area in the end as the tourists won't be able to get around and th

I really couldn't get to sleep last night and was really perplexed why not kept waking up every hour. In the end I got up much earlier than usual and was puzzled why I couldn't sleep then it dawned, erm on me not the day that I had bought a new jar of what I thought was decaffeinated coffee yesterday.  I went to check the jar thinking I had maybe made a mistake and had bought the proper one, when I looked I had brought the proper one and it would explain why I had not slept as I drank the coffee last nigh thinking it was decaff.   The decaff these days taste quite similar to the normal stuff I am not sure if that means the quality of the proper one has deteriorated or that the quality of the decaff had improved anyway I will have to be more careful next time when buying coffee if I don't want to be spending all night tossing and turning and listen to shit night time radio for hours on end.  I guess these issues will arrive as I have not got good eyesight I rang a fri

I have had tinnitus for a long time nearly 30 years now its mainly in my left year and it started I believe due to medication but I am not too sure.  Today it is really bad for some reason I think it gets worse with stress.  The main issue is that its a distraction it makes it hard to concentrate on things sometimes and makes it hard to hear things sometimes in fact its horrible really but | guess it will be here until the day |I day as they are usless in relation to helping or finding a cure. I gues it could be worse I could have it in both sides though on one side is bad enough.  Apparently as well as my tinnitus  have a hearing issue too so my ears are not functioning too good these days I guess it will get worse as I get older unless I introduce some mechanical thing to help me but then I am a bit worried that will make me dependent on it I guess I need to go and find out what is available really. With all the other issues I have in relation to health its going to be a bit of a

There are a few people on facebook trying to organise a reunion for the college which I was at in the 1980s the Royal National College for the Blind as far as I can see it is not going to be held in the college which I think is a shame but it will be nice to see people I have not seen for a long time.  It only feels like yesterday when I was there well I guess it was as I have been there 3 times in my life really I like going back there as it the place where I spent my happiest times had plenty to do and was looked after and had young lady to keep me company well it was to argue with really as it was quite a volatile relationship we had.  The last I hear about here she had had an accident maybe I will find out more if I go to the reunion.  It not going to be a cheap weekend and travelling to Hereford takes a while I will need to get some accommodation for two nights not worth the bother just for one night I guess.  The event is being held in pub in Hereford which I had never heard of a

I went to help out at the local food bank again today where its held is a really cold building only one turned up today.  It has been very today weather wise but I guess its only february so there is still a bit of winter to get through again. I have just found out that I need a new light bulb for the lamp in the sitting room, so it will be a bit of a pain trying to find that in the shop then. I have just heard that they are trying to organise a reunion in relation to my old college where I was a student that its the Royal National College for the Blind Hereford they want to hold it in August I think that is a tough deadline to get hold of a large amount of the students.  I am not quite sure what year they are trying to organise it for or maybe there is a number or years, I will go back to that college at the drop of a hat it does not take much and it would be nice see some of the people again

The DWP really enjoy giving people stress I believe, this time they have sent me two different forms for the one purpose I am not sure which one to fill in.  I guess I could ask them but why are they causing confusion is it just for the sake of it?  Having these forms to fill in is stressful enough especially when they come out of the blue.   I have tried to seek advice elsewhere on the above matter and have other issues to deal with right now but have had no luck so far.  There is still no word from the DWp about when I am suppose to having a medial its getting on for 3 months now since the process which is stressful has started I feel like I am in limbo and my health si not improving either which does not help
