Last summer I went swimming in this pool it was pretty cold but it was nice. You could see the bottom the other day as the leaves were not there to make it dark, the laeves on the trees. I hope to go swimming in it again at some point though its not that private I guess as its near a path. I can go swimming to the local pool next week they have decided to let them open I should have booked today reallyj as its not open on Monday due to another bank holiday and I will have to wait till Tuesday to ring up now and hopefully I can go on tuesday afternoon its a load of hastle though but its a swim I guess its its a lot let hastle to go into the river though its too cold right now. I had a knock on the door today it was next door's kids playing knock door it was quite funny really \I thought it was the postman Next week is the election here in Wales hopefully we won't get the same old shit running the senedd again its getting very tedious and boring and its making out Wales to be a b

  I was caught unawares this morning regarding a meeting I had completely forgot, so a phone call came and I was a bit caught out but it was all ok in the end.   I think I had misunderstood the situation which is not that hard these days with what is going on with my health \I guess it’s a bit of a drag.   It is slightly easier today a bit but not  tha  much I am not too sure what to do next really.   I had a chat on the bus with an old school  colleague.  He is member of a choir which has been suspended for over a year now, he has been a member for over 30 years.  He has not been singing since the  lockdown last year, singing is good for the soul it has health benefits.  I like to sing I live on my own and can sing whenever |I like and don’t  upseit  anyone he does not have that luxury though, so hopefully the  singing will start for him soon, and the community aspect will too.   Most of the members are elderly and the choir is the only social  intereaction  they have they can’t go to

  I have just passed a guide dogs for the blind van, guide dogs is a charity on the side of the van it had the words helping blind children, I feel this is exploiting blind children and a way of getting money from the public, it is a very wealthy charity anyway and gets money from animal lovers, by exploiting the children it gives the impression of not having their best interests at heart and it is hard enough  It has been a nice day weather wise today and I am sure the weather will change soon as its been dry for a fair bit now its not as warm as last year's fantastic spring but I guess that was a one off as \i had never seen one like that before.  It did go down hill when summer came though hopefully it won't this year. Iti is a very odd time still the pubs are still closed sadly and there is no one really around here It is spring though so I guess its a good thing you can tell its spring as the grass is growning I am not sure my insulation regrding noise has worked really as

I seem to be getting into the swing of this election that is coming up in Wales and hoping there is not more labour governments here 22 yrs is long enough and if they are not removed there will be a clamering to get rid of the senedd.  The quality of candidate is quite bad n some places I guess  Wales is small so the choice is not good and I guess that could be an arguement against independence we would have limited choice on who runs the country. It has been a nice day today weather wiseI di d not manage a walk though sadaly but something good did happen I have been invited to and stay with a friend which is I might do later on when things get a bit easier in this pandemic. I managed not to have the heating on today for the first time so it must be getting warmer though its nothing  like last spring which was brilliant .  Time seems to fly by these days these weeks months it si qute unnerving really but there is not a lot I can do. Apparently the pubs will be open soon I guess I will

  Another day of going through the motions, the shops were open today though I was expecting more traffic but I guess the flouters have been coming for weeks now and maybe the increase in traffic will not really be seen until the summer.  The weather is not inviting here and the pubs are still closed I guess. I did my stint in the foodbank today someone came in without a sheet and was given food theplace is not  soup kitchen and its hard to know if people are telling the truth and especially when they ask for custom made packs the story he was telling seemed a bit over the top to be honest I know a bit of food is not going to be missed and its run by the church who are know for their charity and have been taken advantaged of around here over the years. It is not good for people to get dependent on the place either we are all dependent on something oor other I guess it is very hard to be inddependent these days.  It was a bit scary coming home on the bus today it was full of kids who we

 This is a pic of morfa bychan where I went for a walk yesterday which is when I should have blogged it I guess, but I did not do a lot today only some shopping and just sat around for the afternoon waiting for the telly which has been cancelled. I am getting on with the family tree slowly I need to find an address now,

  Winter is back today it has been snowing this morning though the sun is out now but its still very cold really nothing like this time last year when it was like summer. I am sure it will get batter soon enough There is still no sign that the restrictions are coming to an end anytime soon except that shops will open next week I guess which is no big deal as that will increase the wretched traffic too I guess..  The peace and quiet is the only good thing from the restrictions. Apparently its 39 years this weekend when the falklands war started and by coincidence I have started to read a book on the subject, I do remember a fair bit of it going on it has been described as two bald men fighting over a comb.

  I decided to go for walk a bit earlier than usual today as someone had given me the address of a farm where one of my ancestors use to live over 150 years ago.  The place is  called Tyn y Fedwen I did not know where the place was but I had heard the name, anyway my cousine told me where it was yesterday it was not where I thought it was. When I got there there was no name on the gate or anything like that so I had to take it on face value the place is empty and seems to have been for many years which is sad as there is a housing crisis around here and its not good that some people are hoarding property.  The place needs a lot of work but some would relish the challenge some young ones and it would make a lovely home for someone its not right that people hoard property just for its sake. this hoarding seems a farmer's trait maybe they don't trust banks or it makes them seem important that they have a lot of property standing empty, while the waiting list for homes gets longer

  Its Easter again and the traffic has in creased I guess most of them are not suppose to be here  but there is no deterant to keep them from here only their own goodwill a sixty pound fine is not going to make much odds to them. It will be tough for a while as my life is still on hold but all the other fuckers can come here so I am being short changed by the Labour bastards again, this a dminsistration has been vile. I guess I will be able to use the shops or just see them open but that;s all I was thinking earlier how my father would have managed uring this lockdown bolox h would have probably gone mad as he had worked since he was 7 I guess he wold have been allowed to carry on making bread so he might not have stuggled but I doubt he would have been allowed to deliver bread I had a chat about my family history he said my grandfather's father bought the family farm in about 1920m but acrding to the cnsus he was there 20 years earlier i guess he could have been a tennent before b
