bad back

Its been a week now since I have had this back ache it has kept me awake a few nights but has improved in that regard over the last tow nights.  I have used painkillers and some ice packs which help a bit and some exercise and this morning I went for swim which hopefully I will feel the benefit of tomorrow. I am not sure whether to buy a new mattress or not and I guess I have good excuse to do it today as its my birthday.

I have read the paper today and can't believe how much the long serving bus company has been defrauding the council not sure how they though they would not get caught eventully I guess they got greedy and the end was nye for them.

I see some folk are going abroad for a holiday it would be niceo have a few days in the sun away from here a change of scenery would be good but it takes such a long time to organise and I can't decide where to go which does not help I guess.

This getting old thing is not funny can't believe I will be marking anther big milestone in 4 years time well that's if I am still here I guess it was sad news to hear about neighbours death today, he was a nice bloke though I had not seen him for a long time he used got the pub but not seen him near the place for years.  It will come to us all eventually no one gets out alive as someone once said so I guess its important to try and make the most of things however difficult that can be.

 I am having fun with the bus tracker I can get to the bus stop a couple of minutes before it arrives these days which is handy and its a bit of a gimmick for everyone else who is in the stop.

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
