benefit

 So they are thinking. about means testing the benefits for disabled people. This solution. is not going to help improve things  for the disabled people. What should be the aim of governments? really? But obviously this government is not interested in helping the disabled. No more than the other rubbish government was willing to have. disabled people. Though I suppose they did introduce the person. independence payment. Which amounted to The previous DLA? but it was a very stressful process to. apply for it. Very difficult. I have realised this more as well by trying to help somebody else get. the benefits. She's finding it hard going. but helping her has helped me not be so anxious about the process I was really all you can do is fill in the form and just hope that. you filled it in properly and that they grant you the benefit, If they don't grant it then many disabled people will struggle which should not be the case really, its not the fault of the disable person that they are not able to be able bodied in society which is reluctant to help them 

I think governments should trust disabled people more so they are not trapped in the benefit cycle, they could let a person try a job and if it was not suitable they would be allowed to go back on the benefit no questions asked and this could go no until the a suitable job was found, the situatiion could be a kind of universal basic income but that income would go when a job came up. I think there is something like that in australia if I had known that I would have moved there a long time ago, its called a pension in Australia, I guess thats just life, you find out these things when its too late, sods law I guess

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
