It's been one of those weeks !!

Hi World !!

Have you ever had one of those weeks, where you sort of go to bed one night & the next thing you know, it's a few days later ? Well, that's how it's been for me this past few days !!

I went to bed on Friday night - next thing I know it's Monday & I feel like s**t !! I know I do not have the best of health - compared to some I'm pretty well off - but sometimes my body kind of gives up & days go by..... could be worse - I didn't wake up in hospital, not knowing how & why I got there... well - not this time at least !! Anyhow - things have got a little out of hand, but I'm still breathing, so that's a bonus I
guess !!

I'm on my own here this afternoon.... ME is at Uni placement, B & J are in town shopping. The music of the moment (for some reason) is Black Sabbath (?) & the sun is out, it's warm & the sky is blue...... a good day by any one's standard !!

I had a great surprise this week - cheered me up no end.... B managed to get me the DVDs of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" TV show from many, many years back !! I guess I'm not alone in watching it all that time ago (?) & - altho' it's from over 25 years ago - it has really stood the test of time !! There are even updates, to fill in the 'unknowns' from when it was broadcast. True, they are from 10 years after the show went on air & so still a little dated - but.... it's brilliant !!

I have the old LP of the s/t & was looking to buy a Cd of it... I found one on Play.com - they want £96 for it !!!! I know I've paid thru' the nose for some of my Cd's (as B will testify) but.... there is no way I'm paying that for it - well, not at the moment at least !! I'll put the LP onto CD - it's a little scratched, but it'll transfer ok...... crackles & all. IF anybody is reading this & knows where I can buy it cheaper, let me know at the above... I would be very grateful !!

Talking of grateful - the Dead Cd's I picked up the other week are really good. I played them thru' & they are well worth the cash I handed over..... not like the latest Peter Gabriel CD 'Scratch My Back' !! I have always liked PG's music - but I have found this one a little too 'dark' for my taste... I'll put it away for a while - come back to it with a fresh pair of ears... maybe it'll sound better after it has collected some dust !!

I've ordered some more Tangerine Dream live Cd's - hopefully they will get here in the next week. I seem to have been playing a lot of their stuff recently - the new ones should fit in well !! It's probably good that I do not smoke or drink - some of TD's stuff gets a little strange, even sober !! Oh well.... I will report on them as & when I get them !!

For now, I must away - until next time........
