The Dig Tree

Hi all......

So it's nearly 2011 & I've spent most of the last week listening to Tom Petty's 'Live Anthology' 4 cd set - not every day, but it hasn't been out of the cd player much this past week !!  Well good it is as well - give it a listen, you won't be disappointed folks !!  I'm just playing disc 4.... 'Have Love Will Travel' - give it a listen !!

Ok, so Christmas has come & gone.... a "merry" one it was as well.   The guys seemed happy with their pressies, no 'big' ones this year, just a bunch of silly little ones..... well, car seat covers for ME & an iPod thingy for J amongst other things.  Me, I got the usual - socks etc etc.  Not to worry, just happy to see my family having a good day !!

So today is Thursday (I think).... B has just gone into town, ME has just come home from town, J is upstairs & me - well, I've got the fire lit, the music turned down to deafening.... kind of hog heaven really !! There isn't much in the plan for this week... just a quiet one.  Might pop into town tomorrow, I need to get some ink for the printer, before ME goes back to Uni (in case she has to do a assignment).... + we're going to need some food I guess !!

We've been invited to a 'New Year's Party' tomorrow night, but won't be going - even if my health was better, I would still prefer to spend it quietly with B & the guys home here... tho' I expect ME will be out someplace !!

Last year, I made the decision to read The Book Of Mormon all the ways thru' - this year... well, I'm not sure what 'task' to set myself !?!  I'm set on playing a shed load of old tapes - to check them out... I know sort of what is on them, but..... there are about 150-200 of them... so I want to check them out !!  I've got nearly all of my tapes listed (by number) - so at the moment I've got about 30 of them lined up, in order, ready to play..... it will probably take all year to work thru' them - could be fun !!

I'm thinking about trying to list completely all the cds.  I've tried before - without luck - so I might have another go...... trouble is, I get new ones nearly every week - so it's hard to keep up with it all !!  It's a task, so I might give it another go !!

This past year I've read quite a few books - mostly centred around Australia... Ned Kelly & Burke & Wills.  B bought me a new copy of 'The Dig Tree' & I re-read that one over.  It's a very good, well written book & I would recommend it to anyone.  My only, real, sadness with the book is that the author, Sarah Murgatroyd, died the year it came out.  I would love to have been able to tell her, somehow, how much I enjoyed her work - maybe one day.... oh well.

I must away, read 'The Dig Tree' & listen to Tom Petty & Gov't Mule 'live'. Do that & I'll die a happy man !!

Bye Bye
