April

Well the weather has improved a lot recently not so cold anymore and not so wet.  I managed to get a swim yesterday the pool was empty and I mean empty as the folk who are there usually are on holiday, they will be back next week I will have to find another way down there I guess as that bus is shit.

I am trying to learn another music software at the moment that is sonar as it has been given away for free its very frustrating as the commands I use on the Studio one I use do not work on this sonar thing also the videos on youtube are not so clear really and it can be a pain to find out what I need.

I have been following lately on facebook what has been going on in the 1980s group the folk who were at college with me a long time ago and there seems to be a lot who have passed away I think the number is above average for a community as the people who were at college with me had other problems The college was a specialist college for people with sight problems but in the fact they went there it made for the result that they probably had other problems too.  It is very sad to hear of all these people dying fairly young really/  It might be a bit of sombre reunion in August I just hope I survive long enough to get there.

I have tried to use the google screen reader recently its not bad considering its free its about time they made one in Welsh though.  The screen reader lets me have a rest from reading and from stugglint to decifer the websites that are on the net some are quite poor to access really

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
