Harlech swimming pool

There is talk that they are closing down one of the local swimming pools the in Harlech.  I remember this one being built and my father use to take us every sunday morning swimming and he even paid for private swimming lessons there, it will be sad if it closes, people will always need to learn to swim just because they want to go and swim in places which is deeper than their waste and its good exercise and they save people's lives.  Its especially strange that the pool is closing now when a local girl has just gone to the olympics, this has nto happened before and if they keep closing swimming pools round here it is unlikely to happen again.

There was meeting at the pool yesterday regarding its future I was not able to go as I don't drive and public transport is poor round here, I hope something gets done I passed the pool the other day around early evening and there was no light in it it was sad as usually if it was open and running properly it would be used to, it is not just.  

Labour in Wales spaff money on all kinds of shit so they should fiind some money to invest in a local amenity for people to meet and keep fit when its not possible to go it outside due to the shit weather we have here.

It is always as it if things close round here and never open, i know there have been cuts and its hard and i am sure it will get harder, I had not been to the pool for years due to poor bus services and it would be a faff to try to use the buses and the trains together

There use to be a sauna at the pool it was the first time I had ever been in one and you could use it then cool off in the pool

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
