Hello again ....

Hello Worlds......

It's a lovely day here in the wilds of England - well, the south west wilds of England.... It is a little over cast outside, but the view over the coast is quite good, I think the tide is on the ways in... hard to tell !!

Anyhoo, I'm here sat... the music of the moment is a live recording of Robert Plant from about 9 years ago - 'Hey Joe' is coming out of the speakers loud & clear - it is a bootleg, but quite a good quality one..... some of them are a bit 'bad' - but this one is pretty good.

I mentioned, a day or 2 back, that I was thinking about buying some more Allman Brothers Cd's.  I was thinking 4 or 5 sets.  Well, going thru' the list yesterday, I came up with 8 possibilities !!  I'm guessing no matter how much my Dearest Friend (& wife) B loves me, I might have to cut a few of them from the list !!  I buy quite a few each year from their (the Allman Brothers) live sets - I think it was 14 last time around - that was about $350 worth - so I might get away with a few extra this time !!

Talking of my Dearest Friend..... B & ME are out meeting up with her Aunt & cousin.... B's Mum & Aunt were twins.... Mum died a few years back, so B likes to 'celebrate' with her Aunt on this day.  ME calls her Grandma G.... - that goes down well, as G has no granddaughters of her own, just grandsons.

I said it was a 'nice day' outside - well..... it's just starting to spot with rain !!  Oh well.... the girls are at a shopping village place, so they should be in the dry......  mind you, the longer they stay indoors, the more cash they will spend !?!  Not to worry - it's a special day after all.

We were at Church on Sunday & one of the speakers raised a point I've often thought of.  The point being, that 2000 years ago messages took forever to travel.  I've made the point myself.... in the 1970's, a letter would take the best part of a week to reach Bermuda & another week for the reply to get back to me.  We take for granted how the times have changed.  Within seconds of me sending an e-mail, a friend can read it & mail me back......

Likewise, IF anybody is reading these words, it would only take a few seconds to get back to me... feel free to so !!  It would be great to know that there is life out there ....... As Spock would say "It's life Jim - but, not as we know it"

Bye Bye
