  I went and did the stint in the foodbank today and the new shelves had arrived the place needs sorting out now as everything is all over the place.  There was also and unwanted guest there today a bird had flown in and did not wan to leave. I left them to it I had idea how to get it out of there,  The problem is the door are wide open and this is the second one now in a matter of months the doors will have to kept closed from now on as its a bit of a nuisance.  The last time one was in there it shat all over the place I really don't want to be the one who has to clean the mess up tomorrow as hopefully it will be waiting to leave in the morning when someone goes in. The weather was appauling today nothing like it was a year ago wwhen the restrictions started it was the best spring I had ever seen. By today;s weather there was going to be no repeat and the forcast is saying the same though a lot of shit comes from those people. It seems some are having a tougher time with the vacci

  I did not have to change the clock today and participate in this debarcle due to the fact I refused to last time basically as I could not be bothered and that the clock is  a bit rickety and it might come apart in my hand.  It is now on time for the next 6 monthsm it is no big deal either way really. I guess now it will be lighter later. Though it has been pretty dark today and gloomy for most of the day due to the weather where its blowing a gale an raining very miserable and not easy to get out and walk. We have restictions here due to the virus but in the street at the moment is a car with a foreign registration and they seem to be renting I guess the restrictions are not working as they suppose and the sooner they are gone the less stress there will be I guess.

  It is quite wintery out ody the  wind is very cold, as I have just found out a s I have been for a walk, the wind is pretty strong really, and you can't feel the warmth from the sun. I walked along the main road which has been quiet I thought it would be busy but it wasn't I guess the lockdow is still doing something. Sadly someone was shot yesterday I have never heard of anyone being shot here before my brother reckons therew was when I was at school but I have no recollection of it really. The man was shot by his son apparently I know where the house is I was near there an hour or so before passed it on the bus, Apparently some of the e restictions are being lifted today the useless stay local bolox is going and self contained accommodation is ok which includes en suite these restrictions are not straight forward at all. I am well over the effects of the vaccine now thankfullly just have to go through it all again in a few weeks, it will be here soon enough as times goes by

 So half of us will miss some aspects of this lockdon thing aparently, well I guess I will be in the half that does, I will mis the peace and quiet on the roads. And just the peace in the house due to that I have tried to make sure it lasts a bit by adding some stone outside the window i doubt it will help much though The weather is ok today not raining at the mment , I have just got back from a walk round the block.  There seems to be a lot more traffic around I am not too sure if the people who are on the road are supposed to be here I suspect not, some think the rules that are given out don't apply to them or maybe don't understand it has become a bit difficult these days I am not too sure the rules are to do with the virus or politics it seems to have gotten mixed up which maybe be symptom again of poor management of the virus which has occured here sadly. The vaccine symptoms are better today which is good I am not looking forward to the next one though but i have a bit to

 Today is year on from when we were first told to stay at home and in the meantime i have had the vaccine its unreal having to put up with restrictions and now having to have a vaccine. I was not sure about having this jab but I think there is pressure to take and apparently I will not end up in intensive care well not with the virus anyway I may with the side effects if they are stronger than the one I have had from the the first one of headache and photophobia, feeling out of sorts and the tinnitus being worse. The weather going into the lockdown last year was un real this year is not so nice its cold and feeling wintery last year was summery. Looking back on the post I wrote going into the the lockdown I was not very happy and found it very difficult which it was I guess I got a new tablet today after breaking the other one which was a stupid thing to do. This new one is different it does not have great sound nowhere near as good as the one I broke. but I am sure it will do other th

  The irony of the coronavirus measures is that it has reduced the death rate from flu here where I live probably people may have died from other things though I guess like alcoholism or suicide more than previous years, The rubbish government in Cardiff did say shops were going to be opened but they changed their mind which is a kick in the teeth for shops and the salt is rubbed in the wound by supermarkets being allowed to sell the things you can't 

  |It is an appauling day weather wise, it has been at all day raining and blowing a gail it makes it hard to get about so I hae not bothered as yet. it sounds vile out there. apparently it is gojng to be here for a couple of days which is not good especially in these circomstances of the restrictions  Apparently the restricitons are going to be changed on friday but it seems to be quite confusing what is going to happen which has been the theme of the way these admins have dealt with the situttion they don't seem to have gotten any better as the time goes on they were slow and have remained slow.  The vaccine is being given out quite quickly though and I should be called soon enough though I am still a bit un sure about having it as I don't see anyone to get this thing anyway. When the restriciotns are lifted it will be a bitter sweet thing i will be glad to get back to the way things were except for the traffic I have not missed the noise of the traffic rummbling through the

  Getting to see a doctor is not as easy as it used to be before this pandemic, you now have to ring up try to pass the receptionist and then get a call back from the doctor at some point and then you might get a face to face this could take up to three days I guess which is a long time if you feel you really need help. I found it quicker to go to A and E, really but that may have a been a one off and it might not be so easy to see someone next time i go there which won't be for a while as the virus is in the hospital. I got the stone delivered for the front yesterday the bag was bigger than I thought it will take me long time to get it out of the bag but what else have I got to do I suppose, shovel load by shoval load |I will get there but maybe i should have ordered less but then again its there now doing the job it was intended for though I am not sure if it works yet as the traffic is very limited not thankfully. I don't know if this plan will work I shall just have to wait

  I went for a walk today and managed to make more sense of my surroundings I could work out land marks due to the camera on the phone which is a better one than the one I had. The pic is of the village where I live and taken from a valley called Cwm Cynfal it has been a nice day and it was an interesting walk This afternoon I got some stone delivered to be used to help manage the vibrations of the cars as they go by I am not sure if it will work but it was not a massive outlay hopefully it does.
