shambles

This house is on a main road and has reasonable amount of traffic from about 7 am as a rule but due to this lockdown shit it has decreased markedly.

 When I first moved here the traffic did not bother me in fact I was so glad of the peace and quite from the last place I had lived in, I did not notice the traffic at all I did not have a carpet in the bedroom to dampen any noise the traffic might be making and the windows were single pain but still the noise did not bother me.

The traffic only started to bother me when the manhole cover became lose as it did every few years and the water board had to come and fix it. But over the last year the traffic has started to bother probably due to the problem with the manhole cover this time last year which took 5 months to sort out, the fact I was in pain did not help I guess.

I like the peace of this lockdown but in general I hate the bloody thing but when a car comes down the road and the house vibrates which I have noticed happens now and I am sure it was all those years ago when I moved in it gets on my nerves a bit and feel the vibration in the bed I am not too sure what to do whether buy a carpet or move it might be a good idea to move, new beginning and all that but where to I guess is the problem,

Another day dragging along everyday seems the same in this wetched siituation the level of the virus is low here and if the rest of the UK is anything to go by we should not been in this position, the handling of the virus has been shambolic really, when someone stated that on the whole people are ok with how things have been handled here its laughable so many have died ad so many have caught it and the policies have failed and only added to make things worse.

It was not a great day today to go out for a walk it was really damp and cold and its going to be like that for a while the days are really slow getting lighter as slow as the vaccine role out if you ask me.  I will probably miss the peace and quiet when it goes and we are back to normal its thinking of a way of maintaining it I guess well again I suppose that is down to moving or some diy.

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
