trafficked girl

I have just finished reading a book called Trafficked Girl by Zoe patterson and someone else, I am not sure how to spell trafficked correctly if it has a k in it or not.  Anyway this book is the most harrowing I have ever read it has explicit detail of how the person who wrote this book was abused and by mainly Aisan men in the midlands from the age of 13 after she went into care.  She ended up in care due to the abuse she received from her mother mainly by also her brothers.

 This book is unreal really hard to believe that such things could go on in modern day Britain.  I say I read the book I actually listened to it on audiobook, it was a touch listen at the beginning and I got really angry. This book shows the police and the social services in the midlands in a bad light to say the least but I guess that does not matter what matters is that a young girl's life has been destroyed by total and utter incompetance by the agencies who were suppose to take care of her.  I nearly stopped reading the book as it was so harrowing at some point.  

 The sad thing for me was that no one got put in prison for this there should have been loads put away for the way they treated this young girl.  I guess it would have been difficult to find these people as the young girl was a lot of the time not really with it so she was clueless about who was abusing her.  I hope she is doing ok now anyway well the best she can after being through such a horrible time.

 the fine weather goes on I am sure it will end in the not too distant future so lets enjoy it for now while it is here. It is nice to just go out in just a tee shirt for a change and everyone looks well due to having some colour.

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
