wacky thursday


 I am starting to get worried about how the community pub I help set up is being run, the licensee is a liability and at risk of losing the licence for the pub, the manager is a poor manager and the staff well some of the staff are poor. I have heard that there is not enough money coming in well the above factors are not helping I guess, they just combine to put people off coming to the place I guess which is the last thing that we need.

Pubs are closing all the time these days so its not easy to run one so its important the basics are right I suppose to limit any damage from the cost of living crisis and the general chaanges in society.  There seems to be more functions in the place these days and still not enough money is coming in, maybe the will to make the place work is getting less and less, which would seem to be demonstrated by the choice of licensee, or the lack of choice of one I guess.

I am having a a wacky day, I went to someone's house and inquired if they run a cat shelter which I had been told they did, but it turns out no they don't a bit embarrassing.  Also when I went for  walk a ram hit me from behind it was probably to do with the commotion from the field next door. It was lucky I was going up hill and not down, the bastard was sneaky and got me from behind, they say things happen in threes, what next I wonder, there is still a chunk of the day left 

We have rain today for the first time a few days

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
