Well, 'tis another Friday - a whole week since my last post..... where have I been ? In bed for most of the week, but I'm still "flapping my arms" !!
Today is a special day... ME is 20 today !! She was up early this morning, TOO early really - but, even at 20, she is happy as can be.... she has been the same all her life !! Every birthday !! Total madness in a 4' 11" body !!
Yesterday she finished her Uni placement, so she can have a few mornings to get over it now - no more 5am starts to get to Bristol by 7:30 !! Her next placement is in Weston, so not so far to travel + it's a 9-5 thing, so no more really early starts..... that'll be good !!
At the moment, she & B are out buying somethings & getting hair cuts & what have you..... B has a meeting to go to as well - so it's cheaper to take ME's car. I expect they'll be back in an hour or two !! I think M (the boyfriend) is coming home with them as well - a whole house full........
As for the other member of the house (not including the cats) J is upstairs - we met his 'special friend' yesterday for the first time !! She seems very nice - tho' what she thought of B & I is any body's guess !! We are a couple of "loons" at the worst of times & yesterday was a good day !! J is off this week as the college is on a break.....
Oh well - I'm playing some Emerson, Lake & Palmer at the moment.... so that's the music of the minute. It's from the dvd of their Montreux show & sounds pretty good !! With the 'girls' out of the house I can give it a good blasting - not that they have ever stopped me playing stuff loud...... but, ELP is not B's favourite group in the world !!
There is a new Billy Joel cd/dvd coming soon - as yet we've only found it as an import, but hopefully it'll show up over here at some point !! I could buy the import, but the dvd is another system, so probably would not play over here..... we'll see how things go !!
Today, hopefully I'll have a parcel from the US of A....... I had a note thing yesterday to say it would be here today IF (get this) I paid £19:35 in VAT + £8 handling charge !! I think that's just a rip off - I paid the postage - $85 - to get the parcel from America & still they want extra this end before they will deliver it to me !! What a con !!!!!!!
I'm going to have a 'moan' about it - surely once you pay the postage, it should be delivered ? I can understand the VAT because it's an import thing, but not the extra postage, that stinks....... it'll stink even more if it ain't here by the end of the day !! If that's the case I won't see it until Monday of next week !!
Never mind, life goes on - LIFE, ah yes, I remember !! No, really - I'm not moaning about my life !! I have so much to be grateful for, my wife, my family, my friends & the Lord to keep me strong when it seems like I want to give up..... keep flapping those arms & we'll get there together !! I'll just be a little slower, that's all !
Bye Bye
