walk

I went out for a stroll earlier. but it turned into a bit of a nightmare. Really. I walked along the main road. which I hadn't done since the lockdowns. But thought it's the other road is probably quiet. Being that it's Christmas Day. But it wasn't that quiet, so it was OK, I had a chat with a farmer on the way. I had never met him before. I never knew he had sheep locally.

I was not too keen about getting. home so. I decided to extend to extend the walk. going down the path switch. I haven't been for a while. It was very muddy. and the shoes that I wore. were not as good as I thought they were. And probably I am not fit. as I was. So I was struggling on the paths a bit. Even having to resort. to using the mobile phone to help me. It did not help that my glasses were steaming up all the time. I got quite deep in. mud in one place and. now the shoes are just filthy I hope I haven't spoiled them. 

There were also. trees? in the way which had been blown down in the heavy wind that we heard a few weeks ago And I guess people haven't got around to clear enough yet I have preparing back and go out another route. which was a bit of a steep claim. when I managed to do it. and got home. having bought half. a field of mud with me. I was surprised how wet it was really. But then again, I guess it has been done nothing but rain for the last few years So the place is just saturated. It's a pair of flippers. You need to go for a walk around here these days. 

Now I have a washing machine full of washing to do from also supposed to be a little walk but turned into an ordeal. I did manage to find a stick to help me along the way. being it was so muddy and slippery. Hopefully I get a decent night sleep tonight. After all that exertion I guess age catching up with me..

 I have not been walking so much recently I have had a sore foot for a year or so which is taking time to heal I will go to the physio after the holiday and hopefully he can help

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,...

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...

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...
