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 industry as its a big industry in the US.  I would like to go back to philadelphia or maybe new york again before my time is up here.

I can't remember such a long prolonged period of good weather as this for a while now well not  this time of year anyway it usually comes later on in the year and its not as good as the days are shorted so the sun is not around as much as it is this time of year.  It will be good to have a good summer it will make the winter a bit easier to cope with up to point as long as its not too wet I suppose but I guess it is what it is.


There was sign it was going to be warm locally, the cows near porthmadog go into the water it is a more sure fire sign than the crappy weather forecasts we get they say they can't seen an end to the good weather well lets hope they are right this time

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
