It's been a 'bad' week..... I just can't seem to shake this bug I've had now for what seems like an eternity !! Oh well - could be worse.......
Yesterday we attended a friends funeral. As most of the world knows, the weather here has been pretty bad - lots of snow - over the past week or so...... with that in mind, we made as much an effort as we could, in order to be there. We wanted to make sure he had friends with him at the end of his earthly life.
As it turned out people I thought would be there, didn't show up & others - well, like us, who had a long ways to travel (given the weather) were there !! There were some people who could of been there, but decided not to go - one of which we saw Christmas shopping !! Oh well - life goes on - you can go crazy thinking about things......
I've spend most of this week, either in bed asleep or wishing I was in bed asleep !! We went to Church on Sunday, but that was about it until yesterday. After the service, we went into Taunton & tried to do some shopping for Christmas - it was chaos !!
Trying to get thru' the crowds was bad enough - but the snow on the pavements was crazy !! Since having my new wheelchair, I've been able to push myself around, but I would of needed snow chains to get about yesterday....... in the end B had to push me thru' the worst bits !!
The shops were worse - especially HMV..... come on guys, put some thought into your shop lay out. Wheelchairs are bigger, wider & everything else you can think of that goes with it !! It was made worse by some guy who decided it was easier for me to go backwards 10 feet, to go around some displays, rather than him moving to one side, to let me thru' !! B was fuming, me - well maybe one day HE'LL need a chair to get around in - then he'll know what it feels like to have jerks like him stuck in the way !! I wouldn't mind, but he had room to move & I did ask him to excuse me, so I could get by !!
Talking of B - she & J have gone on a trip to visit her Auntie & Dad..... to drop off some Christmas pressies ! I think she is kind of hoping her Dad won't be home - things are a bit 'tense' between them at the moment over his lady friend !! There going to be gone most of the day I guess - so with ME out working today, I'm here on my own with the 3 cats & 1 hamster !! which means, I'll be heading back to bed in a short while !!
The music of the moment is Tom Petty's 'Live Anthology' 4 CD set - I picked it up yesterday from the library & it's well good. I'm guessing it's about 4 hours long, so plenty to listen to - if it's any good, I'll order up a copy from somewhere after the Christmas break !! I've got plenty of time to listen to it........
Also on the music front.... we were talking to one of the Elders at Church on Sunday. He's from Finland & his face 'lit up' when I said I like Nightwish & Korpiklaani !! He said he had never heard of anyone out side of Finland who liked them - well......... he has now !!
Also - music wise - I had a copy of the 'A Knights Tale' sound track come this week. I've been waiting a long time to find it & ME found it on Amazon..... bargain !!
Must away..... Merry Christmas !!
Bye Bye
