bus app

 It was not a nice day to hang around for a bus yesterday it was raining but its what I had to do, the bus was late,  I looked on the bus service app and the bus seemed to be being held up at its starting point in the next town, or maybe the app was playing up I was not sure as I have not really tested the app yet.  There were other people waiting for the bus so at least I knew it had not gone unless it had gone early which is a rare occurrence thankfully

On the app the bus seemed to move again and then it was held up so I was still not sure if there was a bus coming or not then it moved again so I began to think there was bus on its way and it arrived, I told the others it was on its way, in the meantime we were all getting wet, apparentlty the bus had been held up by a broken down old steam train which had brokon down on the main road, the things should not be crossing the main road really as they are in danger of breaking down all the time due to their age and can be dangerous in emergencies which thankfully this was not this steam train goes through Porthmadog.

So I guess the app is working to some extent quite good, and it made waiting for the bus a bit easier in the rain, I told the people who were waiting that the app existed, it was they who informed me the bus was held up by the rickety old steam train. The app can be handy in relation to letting someone knwo if there is a bus on its way or not as was the case yesterday, on this route there is no sign of a bus sometimes but one does turn up that when its not the usual electic busses but their replacement which are the old disealal

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
