bottle

 Its hard not to wonder what kind of place this society will be to live in after all this is over whenever that is.  On Monday restictions in Wales are over and I can go back to the pub and back swimming, while England has a month of these restictions I don't envy the people two weeks has been bad enough due to the mental health strain of the isolation I am not sure I could manage 4 weeeks

There some benefits, the peace and quiet for one I guess and I am saving money  but it is the peace and quiet that is the best thing I suppose the absence of traffic noise I am not too sure if I will be able to deal with the noise coming back I seem to adjust ok last time.  After the last lockdown I thought I would never experience a traffic free environment again but it has happened I have been walking on the main road pretty often in the last couple of weeks and its been great having the road to myself and I still have 4 days maybe more as the English are in lockdown from tonight I feel sorry for them so mayb I will get another 4 weeks of reduced traffic.

I was intending to walk to the lake outside the village today but I vcould not find the route so just walked up to the viewpoint instead and the road was so quiet.  I found an old milk bottle on the side of the road which I reckon had been there for years as no one walks along there reallly and they dont' make those bottles any more its suprising how its kept in one piece so long you would think that it would have been broken somehow I just wonder how long it ha been there really and how it got there it was a dale famr bottle I remember them being introduced as a relacement for the taller ones

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
