The bus service round here is getting worse this morning the bus I wanted had gone early which is absolutely useless and this afternoon it was really late and I gave up so did not get to where I wanted to, it was not important I guess but it would have been nice to have got there I guess I will try again tomorrow.   Maybe I should probably move where I am not so reliant on poor public  transport. I had a chat with someone about this reunion and how the college were the best days of my life which I guess is a saying school or college are the best days of your life but in my case it was the only place I was happy and its bit depressing to think that is the only amount of happiness that I am going to get in my life which it might me as we all know how unfair life can be and how random it is and how short it is which I probably a good thing in the end.  Maybe there is another life where one feels a bit lighter and not so heavy all the time who knows I guess I will have to wait and see I

Well the accommodation is sorted for the reunion weekend, it will be in the old halls of residence at the college.  I am glad that no deposit was taken and therefore there is less pressure on me to go if I am not feeling too good due to the pain I have at the moment.  It will be interesting to see these people after 30 years though I have seen some of them in the 30 yrs.  I hope the weather is nice too which will add to the occasion I guess we shall just have to wait and see. I have been trying to get hold of friend to see if he still want to go I get the impression he has gone a cold on the idea oh well I shall just have to wait and see about that too.

I am still having problems with the DWP but maybe not as much as other folk who seem to be being compelled to work for they meagre job seekers allowance compelled to work for nothing so they are being exploited by companies in the name of work experience.  Work experience is a good thing if it helps someone find a job and it gives people the flexibility of trying things out but claiments should not be made to work for their benefits.  Its hard enough being on benefits never mind being exploited by the government and companies I probably need to find out more about this racket before I can tell people who are on it to seek more advice.  The people who I know who are on it are probably a bit naive and I would hate to think they are being taken advantage of by the DWP. No one turned up for the foodbank again I guess it will be like that for the rest of the summer I need to find alternative voluntary work really its not that easy it seems

I went for a nice swim in a lake about a mile away above the village yesterday its nice to be able to have a whole lake to yourself though the bottom of this lake is a bit muddy really and so it best to only just swim in the water and not try to stand in it though its not that deep and its easy to touch the bottom.   There use to be a golf course there and the lake is apparently full of golf balls but I did not go and look for them really I did not swim that far out really. I had a bit of wasted journey today to the opticians they were running half an hour late so I could not get the appointment as I did  not want to miss the bus as I was a bit uncomfortable again and did not fancy hanging around Dolgellau for two hours as there is a not a lot of things going on there.  Sesiwn fawr is on this weekendc but it had not started when I was there. I am being messed about by the dwp again they said I was going to have a medical thingy on monday then rang to cancel a couple of hours later

Its another warm day and long may they last though some say its only for another couple of weeks, I guess we shall have to just wait and see its a bit more sticky than it was a few weeks and not so sunny today a bit more cloud in the sky but still very nice. I have just come home from the next town the bus was not as full as usual for some reason nowhere near as full really and I don't know why really. The school has a lot less children in it that the time I was there I wonder if they are more successful now that classes are smaller.  If the trend in the number of kids lessening the school will be shut in 40 years time I guess they will have to go somewhere else then.. I have ordered a piece of flat pack furniture I am wondering whether to have a go at it myself or give someone else a go in doing it this will cost of course but I guess it could save me money as I will probably botch it up.  I am really hoping that england are knocked out of the world cup on wednesday if they wi

The fine weather is still with us its just a shame I am not feeling fine today feeling a bit bloated maybe its due to the gassy drinking I did last night who knows. I feel sorry for folk who have booked their holiday to go abroad, they will be leaving one hot country just to go another and paying for it.  I guess if you book a holiday you have to go or you will lose the money I suppose I don't know its been a while since I have been anywhere really though I did get a reminder last night of the last place I went on holiday to and that was philadelphia it is 20 year4s ago now the time has gone quick the reminder came in the form of the Rocky film which was on the telly last night.  Rocky well a lot of it was filmed in philadelphia PA the steps where rocky ran up is the steps for the museum of art there which I visit while there.  I also came across another famous steps in philly the step in trading places, I guess there are thousands of land marks in the US related to the film ind
