So, here I am - my first posting of the New Year !! I've been "tardy" so...... sorry about that... go shoot me !! No really, it's been a hectic few weeks really. What with Christmas & (as usual) waiting until the last minute to buy gifts + most of us having some bug or another.... well, it's not been too good !!
Anyhow, it's 2011... for me, another record has been passed. The start of a new year & I'm STILL here to write about it !! I'm not complaining - bits of me have passed away, I'm sure of that, but.... well, be thankful for what we've got & be happy !!
I had to see my Dr. last night & he is a bit puzzled by the whole thing.... not just the fact I'm still here, but also what has happened to the surgery I was meant to have in August !! He is going to write to the consultant to see what has gone wrong..... they probably forgot about me, or at least hoped I had forgotten about them !! Never mind - life goes on & that beats the alternative... keep flapping those arms I say !!
Ok, 'tis a Wednesday... it's cold outside, so the fire is lit... & I'm here listening to the s/t to 'Listomania' from the mid '70s. I've never seen the film, but the music seems a good laugh - unless of course they were meant to be making a point ? If so, it's pretty c**p really !!
So, if it's so bad, why am I playing it ? It's just one of the tapes I've set my heart on playing thru' this year !! If you think that's bad - the other side of the tape had Clarence Clemons 'Hero' on it & that WAS bad !! I'm not 100% sure what I expected from a solo album from the guy, but it was a bit of a let down really !! Oh well...... that's the music of the moment, so no problem....
Today B & I went up as far as Bristol. I had promised her a trip to 'Hobby Craft', so today we actually got around to going !! It was a bit of a anti-climax really..... ME & B had told me all about this place & when we got there - well, it was like the 'Hero' album !! Anyhooooooo - B picked up a X-stitch pattern she has wanted, but never found, so the trip was worth it just for that, if nothing else.
It gave me a bigger appreciation of what ME does almost every day - the trip to Bristol & back !! It was really wet on the motorway, so...... good on her !! At the moment, ME is upstairs with her boyfriend, J is in his room after another day working at the college & my Dearest Friend & Wife is out at some keep fit class she goes to every week... so I'm taking the chance to catch up a bit with this blog of mine + I get to play the music a bit louder than normal !! Keep fit has it's + side after all !!
On the music side, I have some more Allman Brothers concerts on the way & hopefully this weekend I'll be having a friend down with a new Led Zeppelin concert tape from 1977. It could be good - it is certainly from one of my favourite concert tours, but we'll see how good it is on the day !! Music, music & more more music - what a life !!
I must away, I need to do a few things before bed time - so....... Tomorrow we have two members of The Church paying a visit, so I need an early night - I do NOT want to be poorly for their visit !! Remember, if a member of The Church shows up on your doorstep, be nice - first tell them to go away & if that doesn't work - invite them in. you might enjoy their time with you, we did !!
Bye Bye
