 I went to help out in the foodbank as usual today for an hour on a friday afternoon and when I got there there was stuff to put away from the shopping that had been done, it needed dating too, though the food does not stay there long to go out of date and if it does its put in the best before date expired bit of the foodbank which people can take if they want to.  Today there was a couple of bags of manky pastries which I was instructed to bag they were in right state I don't know how old they were but I would not have eaten them or given them to anyone else I appreciate the thought from the people who gave them but it was just waste and only good enough for pigs really which we don't have, there are sheep around the place though so I took the stuff to them even they did not want to eat it they are fussy eaters apparetntly, I remember my father chucking bread into a field of sheep what I did not see was whether they ate it or not I think not, the ones that I did give the sheep

 its another day o-f the wet stuff it seems to have been raining since last May except for a couple of days here and there, there has to be dry bit sooner or later, I was hoping to the football game up the road but I decided not to being as it has been pissing down all day, it awful, it grey its a nuisance, it also causes issues around the house, the rain seems to be coming in to the kitchen somehow as the floor is wet and wall which is newly platered is wet too, its not that easy to find out how it comes in but they have decided to put a new door in and hope that works, while the guy was looking at the problem he fixed the problem with the front door too it had a big gap in it and it was letting the heat out, the gap is now gone thankfully and there might be a litte bit more heat staying in the house now as opposed to warming the birds outside I had a trip on the eletric bus again to tesco and got the time wrong of the return and had an hour to wait for another one which was ok, not l

 Well the my first week on using the new bus service has been ok I think I have used them about 6 times, The electric buses are a lot quieter than the diesel ones obviously, it can be a bit eerie sitting on the bus and its quiet and nobody talking I guess it was always quiet in relaton to jabbering but now its noticable without the noise of the engine. The timetable has changed too, the other day I wa was able to get the bus down to tesco and then go round tesco and catch the same bus on the way back from its final destination which was a novelty and I was able to catch a bus from a stop which it has not been possible to catch a bus really since the lockdown service was brought in well not a bus a where I live anyway and not one without having to change.  I was not that fussed about going home at that time just wanted to catch a bus home from there from that stop which as I say has not been possible for 4 years due to the introduction of the lockdown service 4 years ago this month, thi

  I have had a stomach problem for a long time and it involved having a camera down my throat, the first time I had one done I was not too sure about whether to be knocked out for it so just take some stuff to numb tht  back of my throat, if you are knocked out you have to stay in the hospital for hours ( though I have had general anesthetic since and signed myself out so maybe its not that much of a big deal).  Anyway while having the endesocopy I saw an old lady walk out of the treatment room so I thought to myself if she can handle it I am sure I can, so off I went and after the inital gagging it was ok I guess aot that stressful, I have had a couple since and its been ok I think.  The last one I has was nine years I know this as it came up on facebook yesterday I had on on valentine's day 9 years ago which I wish I knew earlier on on the day as I went to ask the doctor for a referal for one as I was down to have one every two years   I went to ask the doctor as the condition I

 I once read a book that had a real impact on me, I read it a long time ago, I can't quite recall its name but it was written by an eminent psychologist called Dorothy Rowe who has sadly passed away by now.  The book was about how mental illness affects two different catagories of people who those who are introvert and those who are extravert,  I think the person who started to use the term extravert and introvert was Carl Jung, and this way of dividing people has been mainstream by now the extravert is out going and the introvert is a bit more reserved and prefers peace and quiet and to loud environments.  The accepted definitions of what introverts and extraverts are a bit vague a superficial I guess which is what extravertst get accussed of being at times I suppose. The reasons why someone is born and itnrovert or extravert does have something to do with environments and about how their brains work apparently, one does need more stimulation than the other one from the outside wo

 The people who are trying to organise this bus service which is suppose to start on Monday could not organise a piss up in a brewery, I was looking at the leaflet yesterday when I was a bit bored, the information with the time table on it and I noticed the map was wrong, the had put the village of Gellilydan as be down on the route where they really should have put Maentwrog, even after having two extra years to get things right they are still fucking things up. I also heard that the new service is not serving the far end of Blaenau Ffestiniog which is sad really as or wrong as there has been a bus serving that part of town for ever its not right to expect people to wall all the way from the other end of town in the bad weather, what will happne is that they will say the numbers are down who ues the bus and then they will stop the service, apparently its something to do with the timings I guess they are blaming the 20 mph speed limit that Labour in Wales have put in I am not sure  Any

Well there was no snow today to be seen anywhere so it was another fucked up weather forecast I guess, it was the usual rain and loads of it it did resemble snow in some respects , it was cold  I discovered my phone lens for the camera had cracked I had no idea how that happened but it took me five minutes on google to find the cause, it is due to a defect in the phone but google won't fix it apparently and it could cost for me to get it fixed so I have oreded a replacement from ebay and will do it myself if i can or get someone to help I made enquiries today about setting a group that gives people a chance to practise speaking welsh I think learners need as much encouragement as they can get as they were not fortionate enough to be brought up with the language Its been tough seeing bigots having a go at my culture and language on social media so I guess setting up this group would be my way of pushing back against the dominant culture of englishj

 For the last few weeks there has been a machine drilling behind my house it has been going all day every day nearly its a pecking sound and its recently been getting on my es and while going out and about its been getting on other people's nerves too, after a chat with the lacal shop keeper I decided the best thing to do was to go round and talk to them. I rang the council but all they were willing to do was to check the noise pollution and that was going to take days I guess, So when I|got home last night I went round but there was no one there so I went home and later decided to have a go again, I knocked and knocked but no answer, in the end there was an answer and I enquired about when the drilling was going to stop and was informed that it had finished that day well she thought it had finished that day anyway. I have not heard anything today yet so I assume she was right the woman who lives there they are new to the neighbourhood so I am not that familliar with them, I hope s
