Be careful what you wish for !!

Hello & greetings....

I was getting pretty down in the dumps !!  As I've written before, I was expecting 2 operations & had heard nothing to say when...... that was until yesterday.  In the post was a letter from the hospital, asking me to go in next Wednesday for a pre-op appointment.  The problem is, it (the letter) didn't say for which surgery the
pre-op is for !!  At least now I've heard something - even if it's only half of the news I've been waiting for..... be careful what you wish for, it might come back & bite your butt !!

Anyways, that's next week.  Today is another sunny, blue sky type of day - very cold, but dry & bright.... I don't like it cold & wet.  Maybe I'm getting old, but the wet weather really gets to the bones in this old carcass of mine !!  Never mind, life goes on.....

Today I'm here alone again.  B has gone into town for a haircut, J has gone with her - something to do with his work - & ME is out at her Uni placement, which means I'm here with the old tapes, typing these words.  I could of gone out with B, but I'm not up to it today...... when I finish this, I'm off to bed for a while.  I feel a little 'drained' - it would be great to have a full nights sleep, just one in while !!  Oh well......

The music of the moment is an old Deep Purple tape of their 'Machine Head' album.  I could - or should - play the cd, it's here someplace, but I'm working thru' these old tapes & this is the next one on the list !!  Up to 'D' now - only a 100 or so to go & I'll be on 'Z' !! 

I did have a little treat a day or two back....... I had regretted getting rid of my old single collection for a while.  But one of the tapes had all my old Canned Heat singles on it !!  I thought they had gone for good, so it was great to find them again...... even if most of them are on cds here in front of me !

I just remembered something a friend said, about the time I bought the 'Machine Head' album - I'm guessing around 1972.  I was walking home to my folks house & met him on the ways.  He had a 'poke' at me for buying the album & that the group wouldn't be around very long & how bad they were... well, my old friend, I'm still listening to the album & as far as I know the group are still playing together !!  Like me, they are getting old...... but !!

Oh well - I'm off to bed.........

Bye Bye
