Shrewsbury prison visit

Image
 I watched a program on the telly the other day about the prison's of Britain, it was called something britain behind bars and it visited some prisons, like Durham it also visited shrewsbury prison which closed in 2013 I think and its where executions were held,. Shrewsbury prison is now a tourist attarction.  I have always wanted to visit prison and now I have the chance to go before it is probably knocked down and the land is sold to developers, well done Shrewsbury council for rejecting the previous plans and the prison would be no more. I am planning to go to Shrewsbury on the train which as it happens the prison is opposite the train station which is handy and the train journey will for the day will give me a few hours in shrewsbury  There is a tour there which you can go whcih is guided and there is one I think you can go on your own I am not sure if that just involves just wondering round yourself I think the guided tour is better as you will get more information, I think yo

cat

 I took the bus to Caernarfon yesterday morning  I thught I might go and see the cat sanctuart place as I have been thinking about getting a cat for a while now.  Going there might involves some walking and it was a nice day so off I went. When I got to where the cat place was I was a bit hesitant about where to get off so decided to go to the next town and get the bus from there which involved staying on the bus for another hour and then it would be hour back again, taking the sceinic route to the place really,  I got the village where the cat place is eventually and google maps took me there after a bit of fuss, I knew the place might not be open due to it closing at 12.30 pm I thought I would go and have a look anyway and someone stopped and said there was someone there so off I went I saw a few cats and I guess its made want a cat a bit little bit more I guess. I had to make my way home then and I knew I had half an hour to get to the bus stop, I kind remembered the way to the stop

forever autumn

We are still waiting for summer and its the middle of July, it will be long winter without a summer and that won't be good especially with the price of utilities, but there is nothing that can be what will be will be I guess, we just have to hope and prey summer eventually gets here for a couple of weeks at leeast. People feel better when the sun out and the rain has f'cked off for a while, it has been hanging around like a bad smell for months now and has become a nuisance. At least it was dry today I guess for a change a small consolation I guess I was hoping to go for walk tomorrow with a group but got an email confirming that that won't happen which is a bit dissappointing I suppose, hopefully next month when the group go for walk again it will be possible to get lift as the public transport is shite right now its better than it has been but still shite round here  

whist

II went. to whist drive the other night there weren't many there, this whist ran until the end of last year and stopped for some reason but it has started again I am  not sure how long it will go on for.  It is the same crowd who play its hard to attract new people to take part as its an old pastime that is not taken part in so much these days and I guess it will die out eventually, card games are seen as old fashoned I guess though you can play them online so I guess they still have an appeal I did not do very well, I made basic mistakes, which I guess is understandable I guess I am sure I will get better as the weeks go by. The idea of whist is to win tricks and the one who has won the most tricks wins the drive I guess, there are trumps involved, the rules are simple really but the trick is to remember what has gone before really so that you know what to play and you play with a partner too so you can help each other other out in a game. I most likely will go again this week all

wednesday

It looks like we are. going to get another **** summer this year. which is the shame really. I think everyone could do with a nice. bit of weather.  There is an election tomorrow. I have not decided whether I'm going to vote or not. as yet. I usually vote for the same party. but I'm not very happy with the way they have been behaving over the last few years. So maybe I won't bother a voting at all. Where I live? the same party wins all the time. though the boundaries have changed this time. So maybe it won't be quite. so easy for that. party to win. I guess we shall wait and see. And if people like me don't vote I guess it reduces their chances of winning. The party I usually votes for. is the nationalist party. I really don't see the point. of them sitting in the English parliament. No one takes any notices of them. and it's just colluding with. the masters. I think they just go through the motions really,they claim to be the voice of Wales in the parliamen
