july 1

I am not too sure where the summer has gone but its not very warm.  Its the first of July today I have a dentist appointment this month but I don't know if they are taking patients yet due to this virus I haven't heard anything I guess I will  have to ring the place this week to see if they are taking people again I have been lucky in comparison to some who have had to do some diy on their teeth appaarently which is bad news I think there are emergency treatment but maybe you have to wait and when you're in pain the last thing you want to do is wait.  I hope I haven't spoken too soon and this lockdown situation sees me through to an appointment with no pain hardly.  My teeth are not in good condiiton though the years and lack of disciplined cleaning have made sure bits have fallen off now and again and I have had to have filling after filling and the rough edges are quite uncomfortable to touch sometimes.

I have not been out today really as its a bit damp but I guess I will have to venture out at some point though there is no one around to see most are in their house or flouting the stay local guidlines which are being relaxed next week which will increase my pet hate, that being traffic.

I got some new curtains the other day to block the early morning light out there are not in their place and doing the job as well as I had hoped I am sure I will sort it eventully.

Going to the chip shop was a different pandemic experience yesterday aftter ordering my chips etc I was asked to take this gizmo and wait till it buzzed I had to do this while waiting outside all these extra measures are costing so much money for businesess which will be struggling anyway as so many people will be losing their jobs, and the faet that people will not be working I guess benefit will go down or tax will rise on things I guess which I suppose is one way of getting money  though I am not too keen on paying the governments furlough scheme it was way too generous in my opinon.

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
