Well, the winter is back - it is pouring down outside, absolutely hissing it down !! Never mind - I'm indoors, listening to Jethro Tull.... the doors are shut, the fire is lit & I'm going nowhere !! Why not ? Because it's cold out there folks, that's why !!
OK, as mentioned, the music of the moment is Jethro Tull. It's a Cd transfer of the Carnegie Hall DVD that came with the 'Stand Up' set recently re-released. For those new to these pages, I do this a lot.... transfer the s/ts of DVDs to Cd - it means I can play just the music, rather than switching the TV on & all that has to go with it !! It may not be 100% legal, but it's for my own ears & I'm not making any money out of it, sooooo !
As for my family.... B is out for lunch with the ladies of the Church - probably wanting to know what is behind our recent absences. ME is out at Uni placement - she only has one more day to go & then it's her Xmas break. I'm sat here & J is upstairs - his big news at the moment is he has a kind of job !!
He has managed to get a place at the college where he & ME attended right out of school. It's a voluntary thing, a kind of work experience & he's well happy with it, as he's helping his ex-tutor with the current classes that did his course while he was there !! Hopefully it might land him a payed job, but time will tell !!
I think it's 9 days to Christmas.... so we must do some shopping at some point. I'm used to doing it last thing, sort of Xmas Eve ! It was the only day I used to be able to get to the shops & have money to spend at the same time..... things haven't change much. Sure I have more time now, but there are days I don't feel like going out, so in many ways it's situation normal !! Tho' B might pick up a Christmas tree on the way home today - the car will be quite empty, so she'll have the space !! Ho ho ho !!!
Oh, I did buy her a DAB radio yesterday - she has wanted one for years, so while we were getting some foodstuffs last night, I shot off down another section & collected one for her !! She already has it set up in the kitchen & it seems pretty good - could use a little bass, but........
We still have time to go out & pick things up - so it's not too late to see whats about, so to speak !! I think it's late night shopping in Taunton tonight, so if the weather holds, we might go for that - we'll see. For now... back to Jethro Tull.
Bye Bye
