soggy saturday

It was a horrible day when I got up today the rain was coming down in stair rods and it lasted like that until lunch time really but it has improved in the last few hours which is a bit of a surprise as it looked to me it was here for the day an all day soaker as I call them.  But the sun did make an appearance it usually does rain when the No6 festival it on round here I am not surprised that they are stopping doing it as it seems to be a washout most years/

 I was introduced to the arriva bus app today on which you can track the progress of the bus which should help in the relation to the weather as it is now possible to time my walk to the bus stop and not hang around in the wet for a while like I have been doing for the last few years or so I was wondering if it was possible and see that it is, which should lessen the hanging around and wondering it the bus has gone or not.

 I can't say the same about the google podcast app which is a bit ofa flop as it crashes every time I open it which is a shame oh well I guess you can't have everything.  My back is still sore again today and it keeps me awake at night it probably did not help that i got a heavy bag of shopping from Porthmadog today and dragged it aournd for while I should have been more careful.  

 I eventually managed to get to see the match of day regarding the game in cardiff on thursday, today the catch up thing worked at last I guess it takes few days for them to put it in place.

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
