private ownership

It is autumnal today well even more autumnal than the summer has been already I guess, though I have not put the heating on as yet. I hope I can have another few weeks before I have to, I noticed the electricity bill was a bit high from last month due to the new things in the kitchen I guess a small frezzer which I am have no control over and multi cooker thing which I am slowly getting the hang of.

The cost of utilities has gone up again about 10 percent, they really are just robbing bastards.  Things like electricity should be nationilsed to stop the exotortion really.

I am waiting for shaver to arrive mine broke last weekend it was only cheap and has lasted very little really, I guess you buy cheap you get cheap.

The shaver is here and its ok, it arrived just in time for my birthday which I have celebrated with cream cake. I am not sure where the year go really they are flying by, as are the days weeks and months.

I have been in a meeting this week with a group which is trying to stop a local manor house being sold privately as it will maybe mean there is no access to the paths for the public , the manor house is plass tan y bwlch which is being sold chaeply rreally compared to other things a hundred acres and a monor house in nice spot for 1.2 million which is being sold by the national park I understand the park want shot of it but selling it this cheap is not the way forward anyway there is an extra two months for things to be sorted 

If it stayed in public ownership it is going to take a lot of money to run it, I am not sure what part of the area is or is not for sale but it would be bad news for people not to be allowed to walk those paths around the lake and above that

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
