bus app

 It was not a nice day to hang around for a bus yesterday it was raining but its what I had to do, the bus was late,  I looked on the bus service app and the bus seemed to be being held up at its starting point in the next town, or maybe the app was playing up I was not sure as I have not really tested the app yet.  There were other people waiting for the bus so at least I knew it had not gone unless it had gone early which is a rare occurrence thankfully On the app the bus seemed to move again and then it was held up so I was still not sure if there was a bus coming or not then it moved again so I began to think there was bus on its way and it arrived, I told the others it was on its way, in the meantime we were all getting wet, apparentlty the bus had been held up by a broken down old steam train which had brokon down on the main road, the things should not be crossing the main road really as they are in danger of breaking down all the time due to their age and can be d...

 I saw on the tv that the film 'First knight is on some of it was filmed round here in trawsfynydd on the lake, it starred Richard Gere, who spent quite a few days here and met some of the locals the land used is owned by my neices grandfather, I was at college at the time so was not here to see what was going one but a friend from college came here to stay to see the filming. Another film which filmed around here is macbethe by roman polanski, I was only a child when it was being filmed but I can remember going up the road to see the place where it was being filmed and we had few arrows to take hoome as some kind of momento of being up there.  There have many other films set here over the years some partly and some wholly like the Inn of the sixth happiness and carry on up the kyber a bit before my time there have not been that many over the last few years for whatever reason, just a few welsh dramas and short tv series; I did have photos of the macbeth filming but they have ...

 It has been cold this week I don't recall it this cold for a long time the pavements have been icy the council have not put salt on them apparetnly they don't these days but I would have thought they would with all the hospitals in trouble these days oh well I guess there is not a lot of joined up thinking going on these days which itself can lead to problems  The weather is going to get milder over the weekend which means the rain is on its way its never far away these days The photo is of Moelwyn mawr which I took on a walk last Sunday the snow looks great on the mountian but crap on the road especially when it freezes I bet the view from the top is really good but I am not going to attempt it I don't think I have been once it was the day after a bit of a booze up so I don'r recall it that well I would like to go again one day

fish

I bought this fish last week well I got conned into buying it really, anyway it stinks the fridge out.  Every time I come across smelly fish it reminds me an unfortionate episode with a certain young lady.  I shared a house with this young lady and she had a boyfriend and they were very active in bedroom as you are at that age I guess.  One day I went to Leicester with her for a day out or something I can't really remember anyway we decided to have lunch and we went into this department store it was hot day I remember standing by the counter and thinking what is that horrible fish smell which I actually blurted out and then it dawned on me what I had said I was very embarrassed but I guess she could have gone near a bar or soap that day and it would have made things a bit easier. It was not easy living in that house I remember I was next door to a mill and the press started up at 6.30 am every day I doubt they would be allowed to get away with that these days due to ...
