It seems to be an even tougher year in you live in Wales with floods and the covid 19 shit its heartbreaking really, the rain seems to causing a lot more damage recently but there is nothing anyone can do I guess as the weather will do what it does. Not sure what is going on on blogger regarding the size of the text.  I went shopping today as usual and the shop assistant was a bit awkward today I thought I was saving time but she didn't  I guess  its a hard time for all  

Today has been a bit of a washout and very windy I think I remember this weather spoiling a walk I was suppose to be going on a few years ago that walk seems to have stopped now which is sad as it was the highlight of the summer really.  I got to see all kinds of places due to the walk but I think the organiser is getting on a bit so I guess he is not arranging them so much also there is the covid bollox going on. I could do with going to walk a bit more due to the weight I have put on recently. I am sure well I hope to get some walks in before the weather scuppers it for a while  

I think I know now why I have put on weight in the last few months besides eating junk due to boredom, I think its because the experience of shopping has changed I am given more time now to look and see what's there where before I had to get what I wanted and leave.   I am given more time due to the covid thing the way that shopping has changed the fact that there is not so many people or staff in the shop I am basically able to see the junk stuff a lot easier and therefore buy it. I did try today to reduce the suggery stuff to be honest it does make me feel a bit ill, so I can lose some of this excess weight.  I have no idea how much I have put on as I don't have scales but when I walk I am a bit more breathy than usual. The tourists and their lack of social distance practise are getting on my nerves now they don't even try well not all but most of them its about time they went home now enough is enough.  

  I decided to go and deliver something to the local general hospital as opposed to send it there.  I had the time to take it there and hopefully it will get back quicker when I go there it was eerily quiet not how I remember pre the covid thingy nowhere as many people there. The bus journey to the hospital was a lot more uncomfortalble thab usual due to the wretched mask and the fact the bus was not empty and the windows were closed which was the same for the way back though not so busy. Bangor where I went was not normal either it was a lot quieter than it usually is the buses are also no frequeent i guess this is the covid world now. the world of uncertainty I just hope I have not caught anything while running the gauntlet on the bus. I have just written and email to the local MP regarding two empty houses across the road from me.  There is tension right now regarding second homes and resentment they breed.  I was looking at house yesterday in the village I hope its not going to be

  I had a swim in a local river today while there is dawned on me I had not done that since I was a child I have swam in lakes but not rivers it was very refreshing and nice after a crowd out walking moved on I was a bit apprehensive about going there but I saw my sister and her partner and it seemed to spur me sort of thing not sure why maybe because I was not that alone there I guess It has been a fine day weather wise which I guess is obvious or I would not have gone into the river but I am sure its possible to swimming even in the rain.  I am wondering now if that part of the river has a name and if anyone knows it I doubt these names are written down anywhere. While there I was also thinking of the generations of local villagers who had been swimming there over the centuries over time, and the ones who will swim there in the future.

I ordered some scales a few weeks ago they finally came and they are not right.  I contacted the seller they say I can give them a review and they will refund me I assume this is due to the hastle of sending things back  I guess though they want me to lie about the product which I am not too happy about.  They have not said that they want to me give false info but I am assuming the refund comes with that guarantee and if I tell the truth they might withhold the money I can if I want to just send it back but this is a load of haslte really but it seems it might better in the long run as this feedback thing is a load of hastle right now. There is no sign of the forecasted rain  its a nice sunny morning actually thought its pretty hot,  I am glad the pub is open and that there is somewhere to go now I guess I don't feel quite so on my own anymore in this lockdown.

  I did a walk today that I did last with someone else a few weeks ago I got lost in the beginning a bit and it was very wet under foot but its a nice day so I guess getting my feet wet is not that such a big deal. While I was wondering about my childhood and mainly about my time in the local school regarding the abuse I got from a lot children while there and if that kind of thing went on today would I have had to suffer the same kind of thing today or not I am not too sure who to ask regarding the issue really but I am sure I will find someone . I ordered a talking scales this one I got does not talk though I will have to check the order again I guess.  i am not a fan of sending things back though its alot of hastle.  I went to the pub last night and i wondering whether to go again I don't really want to catch the virus as from facebook i can see the thing is in the area,  I guess if I keep to the social distance which was not being adhere to in Porthmadag I should be ok.

I ordered a talking scales the other day I have no idea where its gone no sign of it being delivered according to alexa its coming in september if I had known it was going to take so long I would not have bothered really. I found out this afternoon that the village pub is going to open this week maybe which means I can go back to socialising with the village again I don't think there will be any music allowed though due to covid being able to spread by singing apparently. I wonder if anyone will come across this thing in the future and read a bit of it to get some impression of how it was in the pandmic or maybe the pandemic will wipe us all out who knows it does not seem likely that will happen but then again no one saw the  pandeimic coming I guess you just never know what is round the corner I did the foodbank thing again today and the bus was late and so I was not there that long not that I am there that long anyway to be honest it was quiet today really seems to be getting bac

No stupid mishaps as such today like leaving the cooker on all night or putting fairly liquid in the washing machine, might be due to the fact that I slept a bit more last night. Very sad to hear today about the death of a cousine who had not been well for a while she went quite quickly in the end I guess . I decided to go and do some shopping in the afternoon though I was a bit apprehensive due to all the visitors and them bringing the virus here which would be bad news.  I had to serve myself again at wilkos I neeed some weed killer so I can put some gravel down maybe. The FA cup did not go too well today for Chelsea due to bad refereeing mainly and bad injuries I geuss.
