My appointment for an EUA was cancelled again, it is now in a couple of weeks, if its not cancelled again.  I get worked up about the whole thing only to have to unwind again.  I don't only have to have the procedure I alos have to isolate for three days before hand, I have not been doing which in hindsight is a good thing I guess. I will not isolate this time either as I could be wasting my time again. I am not too sure why I have to have this test and why they can't just give me a test on the day, maybe its because I am going on the ward, but if they are only going to cancel again then there is no point. The interface on this blog thing is shit it hard to get writing down on it, but I don't know of any other free blogging thing on the internet. I did an anxiety management thing today a lot of the stuff I had heard before many times but due to the situation I am it its probably not a bad idea to listen to some of the stuff and I don't have to leave home as its on teams

I watched a program last night about people who wanted to move to Wales, it was based on the english version ones but it was in Welsh.  This one was based on this area and featured people who I knew and ones that I did not.  There was a lady who had learnt Welsh in very short time fair play to her, I think she came from Blackpool and had even joined cymdeithas yr iaith the society which protects the language.  I guess what the program showed me is the fact that people move here the area is changing and will change and its not the place I grew up in anymore nothing stays the same the world moves on even if I am not happy with the pace it is going it will go at the paec it wants to and you have to keep up I guess, if you don't you will be left behind The main point of the program was regarding the Welsh language and culture and how it will change, it has to thrive or it will get left behind, the language and culture will be here a long time after me which I guess is a comfort I guess

The local community pub is getting a facelift,  It has been a community pub for 11 years but its always been a pub hotel.  The work for the facelift is going very slowly it will be good when finished though.  The building is listed so you can't just do anything to it, it has to keep its original look. To do the facelift a grant was obtained from CADW which is the body that looks after old buildings in Wales.   The work involved repointing the front and rendering it, but keeping it looking near to how it always was.  The pub is 300 years old in 4 years time and obviously did not have any double glazing which is important to have in this day and age but this CADW set up won't allow it to be put in, which is a bit mad as this is a business and with the price of utilities going up its important to have things in place to reduce the cost, its a bit silly for CADW to try to maintain the building as it was originally in a modern world its going against the grain Keeping the original w
