nimbyism 



Today, I decided to take the bus to Tesco for my  grocery shopping. It was a beautiful day and I wanted to enjoy the scenery along the way. As I waited at the bus stop, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the convenience of public transportation.

The bus arrived on time and I hopped on, taking a seat near the window. As we made our way to Tesco, I watched as the city passed by. The hustle and bustle of daily life was in full swing and it was nice to be a part of it.

When we arrived at Tesco, I grabbed my reusable shopping bags and headed inside. The store was busy but well-stocked. I made my way through the aisles, picking up everything on my list. The fresh produce looked particularly good today and I couldn't resist picking up some extra fruits and vegetables.

After paying for my groceries, I headed back to the bus stop. The ride home was just as enjoyable as the ride there. As I got off the bus and walked back to my house, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the simple pleasures in life. Going to Tesco shopping on the bus may not seem like a big deal, but it's moments like these that make life worth living.
We are still waiting for bus services to get back to normal though, there is suppose to be buses starting soon which are electric and run every hour it seems a bit quiet on that front right now which is a bit concerning really as its been in the pipeline for about 2 years now it got shafted by some morons a while ago hopefully it will succeed this time and our isolation in this community will be over
Nimbys cause a lot of problems in society and lead to housing and employment issues. They also stop refugees from settling in this country. There was a story about a community who did not want asylum seekers in their area
I had some sad news today a chap who I used to help with his reading and writing took his own life, he had been struggling with mental health issues for a very long time and its sad that they eventually got the better of him, I think it was drugs that started the thing off I had the first sit down of the year in the garden. I hope its the first of many

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
