wasted journey

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 thing is just going on and on and its doing my head in.  There was some rain today hopefully its only for  today it has been the best summer weather wise which I have ever seen around here they reckon there was a good one in 1976 but I have no recollection I have been away from here a while but I really can't recall a nice summer like this here.

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
