magnifier

Today I go again to help out in the foodbank I am only there for an hour but I guess I am relied upon to be there and I guess am fullfilling a role.  In the beginning I think that going to the foodbank was more for my benefit than there's.  I am sure it has been a bit stressful for the ones who were in the ood bank all the time to be giving food parcels to their neighbours by full time I mean 5 days a week

Going today might be a bit awkward as I encountered a stroppy bus driver on saturday who was not happy with my face covering but this is all I have right now so it will have to do until something better comes along anyway his website says face covering it does not specify what typ of covering that is needed.

I enjoy home recording and have recently realised how useful the magnifier can be in the process of using a DAW which can be a bit cluttered and its hard to see what is what sometimes the magnifier can zoom in probably much better than the zoom function on the DAW I wish I had come across this sooner but I guess better late than never.

The sky is grey agian today but the rain usually stays off or we only get a little bit it seems but if you listened to the weather forecast you would think we were in for a deluge. I hear that the rate of infection is getting higher in England due to everything being open I guess so it will be a long time before we are down to no infections at all like New Zealand this anxiety will be lasting a lot longer here than in other countries of the world which will be very costly in the end due to health issues longterm there will be people suffering after this pandemic has long gone if they are still alive to do so.  New Zealand can go forward leaps and bounds while we here are still in the dulldrums which is pretty sad.

I am struggling to think of things which might make this situation easier but its not easy I guess and maybe I need to stop struggling a bit and just go with it.

It seems everyone is in a hurry to get back to what was normal I am no soure if that is a good thing there was a lot about the previous normal that we should be running a mile from.

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
