2019

Today is the first day aftet xmas where things can go back to normal I guess this year I can answer the dreaded question 'did you have an ok xmas?' in a more positve way as it was ok except for the last bit of if when it resorted to the usual xmas I have always had with my family that of falling out or having a row I guess..

There are few days lef of this year it looks like they will cloudy and misty weather wise but warmer which I guess can save on heating bills but there is not much point in going out I guess as its so gloomy out there,

I guess being its the end of the year one tends to look back on how the year went well it started off quite shit I had given myself food poisoning due to not taking too much care with some chicken.  I was quite ill for a couple of weeks, this later turned into reactive arthritis which was really painful but has by now sorted itself out I guess they said it would take a year or so.

The rest of the year was peppered with sad deaths of friends and shit from those bastards I guess,  I would like to think things will improve but I am not too sure as I am still in the benefit trap.  

I got the hearing aids at the start of the year too I am not too sure how they help I am stilll getting used to them I suppose one is broken at the moment its not much fun not having the same confidence in my hearing now its hard going.

I can't really recall a highlight of the year only a lot of low lights it would be nice to find something to do next year the buses will screw up the foodbank thing so I will have to find something. I really need to stop just trying to kill time or I will regret it

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
