snow

I am beginning to wish I had not turned on the telly this mornng as it mentioned a condtion I have that can turn into cancer but I guess at least the story concentrated on the fact that it can be detected with some light or something but it means me having to go and have another one of those cameras down my throat at some point I guess.

 Well the snow has been interesting this week suppose but I guess the main thing I remember about it is the fact that I was able to help my cousin sort out here frozen boiler.  There was a post on facebook from a plumber telling people how to get their boiler back working again if it wasn't and the reason it might have been not working is the fact that the outside pipe had frozen over and that all you needed to do was to pour hot water over the pipe and the water would flow through again, well my cousin did this and she was grateful for the tip.  I guess facebook is good for something and it rekindled my faith in human nature that the plumber gave this advice on the social media platform they could have easily cashed in on the problem and gone round all day just unblocking pipes but fair play to the plumbers.  I left my water on all night as I was worried the pipes might freeze over and did not want to be frozen stiff here I have other issues as it is.

 The snow is still quite thick outside but the sun is out now so I guess that will get rid of it too and then there will be floods I guess.  It has been nice to have the peace and quiet of the reduced traffic for the last few days but like most good things it will come to and end and I guess that will be today.

 I have a tough task ahead I need to record a guitar part which I am not too confident at doing but will give it a go anyway It incolves tryng to play reggae guitar.  This is for a collaborative project with a couple friends. i think the guitar part is just a way shoe horning me into the track somehow but it will be fun to have a go I guess.

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
