Welsh independence

 It seems that the independence of Wales is becoming more prominent, that's what it looks like as the movement Yes Cymru has increased its membership some of the increase in the last few days is due to the controversy regarding the furlough scheme but it seems that the north of England was treated the same.

I see this furlough scheme thing as just another injustice of being ruled by another country and that is the crux of my belief in Welsh independence, I think Wales should rule itself so it could regarded as a sovreign state and things could be done to improve it then. I guess I want to live in country that is regarded as a free country not a vessel state of England so its a selfish thing really many might think that Britain is that state for me, its only Britain to England when it suits.

The is a border, do people who are a few feet from each other feel different.  Do people who cross the border to live start to see independence as a thing for Wales? I can remember being aware of my nationalism when I move to Hereford when I was young Hereford is in England just about I guess. but I can remember saying I would die so Wales could be free, now the words of John lennon's imagine come to mind, nothing to live or die for.

I don't know if being away from home made me feel more nationalist.  I have been back here a few years and have experienced a lot of shit from some people living here and when I lived in England it was the first time I had experienced kindness.  I was getting a flat ready and a lady who worked at a college in Loughborough gave me curtains for the flat and helped put them up no one had ever been that kind to me before her name was Edna she was a support worker, it was not easy accept kindness I geuss it was something that I was not use to but I will never forget it.

So I am not sure about by nationalism anymore I think the fantasy of a free Wales is perhaps that.  I have always envied Ireland.  There is a thing about Wales being a country it either is or it isent it is in name only it does not have the trappings of being a country I guess its a half way house.  I am not that familiar with Welsh history and don't know if was ever a country but I know it has been annexed by England I am not sure what that means it has suffered injustices over the years but maybe the north of England has aswell, the issue is I guess I just would like to see Wales as an independent state ruled by Welsh people but if the dirty scum bastards who I have encountered since being back would want I think I would actively campaign against it 

I am getting on a bit now and also feel that if it came I would not get the benefit so I guess I am not that interested which I guess a lot people who live in Wales feel which might explain why scotland is now the only voluntary member of the the uk and is happy to be ruled by England.  I don't even have children that I would like to see living in a free country.

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
