Greetings...

Hi again World,

I've just realised it's been 5 days since my last post !! Shocking - I will aim to do better in future.. I've just not got around to it, posting I mean - & one day drives out another etc. Oh well..

Anyhow, 'tis a Wednesday & I'm guessing all around the country people are sorting their excuses for missing work, or what ever, to watch the England game this afternoon. Me, being a complete non-football fan - tho' I did watch some of the South Africa v France game yesterday - couldn't be any less interested !!!

I've read that the manager is expected to resign if England fail to win today - so I guess he'll be looking for a new job by tonight ! No really.... "Come on Eng-a-land !"... yeah, right !!!

Well... it's a beautiful day outside - really warm - even with the doors wide open... & yours truly is sat here listening to 'Sun City'... the old (1980's) anti apartheid song.... purely by coincidence - it's on the cassette I'm playing at the moment from 1994. Earlier it was a Grateful Dead track - a great version of 'Smokestack Lightning' from their 'Bear's Choice' album... buy the re-issue, it has a better sound & extra tracks.....

On Monday I had the 'new' Lynyrd Skynyrd album come thru' the door.... kind of a disappointment really. It was advertised as a 'new' live album & it turns out to be from a show they did in June 2007 !! I was hoping it was going to be from their most recent tour(s) with some tracks from their 'Gods & Guns' album but it wasn't to be.... still it was good to have another live set with Billy Powell & Ean Evans - both of who are now deceased unfortunately.

I saw the band 3 times before the 1977 plane crash... a great outfit on stage....but, give us a new album of 'live' stuff guys - please !!

The tape has moved onto 'Los Desaparecidos' - I think that is how it's spelt - by Little Steven. For me, one of his greatest tracks, with lots & lots of meaning to me & my life back in 1986 !! Oh well, moving on........

B is out at the moment, taking ME to work & then visiting her Nan in hospital.... & on that note, B has just phoned to say they are stuck in traffic - with no where to go !! We forgot it's Pilton festival this weekend & the roads are solid !! For Pilton, read Glastonbury - living here we refer to it by it's 'proper' name.... it's Pilton folks - Glastonbury is up the road a ways !!

ME was due to start work at 10.30 - so there is no hope of that happening now !! Never mind, maybe she can make it up - if they get there - by working later or something..... Still, they are on the road, & J is still in bed (I guess) - hell knows what he'll do when he gets a job... that will be the end of his late nights & short days !!

I'm still working thru' the cds - only got another 2 or 300 to go !! Then I will have to put them in some kind of order.... a-z or something, I've not worked it out yet. I've still got until July 7th to complete the task... plenty of time !!!

Anyways - must go for now.... things to do etc etc - oh, also got a great book here at the moment. 'Ned Kelly - A Short Life' by Ian Jones. It kind of follows on from the Ned Kelly film and what have you.... it's a 400 pager, so it'll take a bit of reading, but so far it's good !!

Bye Bye
