So.... there was a show on TV the other night & a girl said that "only losers write blogs" - yep, she is probably right !! So for myself & the many many others who write blogs - guilty as charged & proud of it !! It keeps me off the streets, so my only defence, your honour, is that I'm happy. If that's a crime, go shoot me !!
Ok - it's a Tuesday !! I woke up yesterday morning, convinced IT was Tuesday..... B had to put me right again !! She - B - is getting worried about my memory, which it seems is getting worse - along with my various body parts. I sense another visit to the Dr' is on the cards...... oh well.
Today's going to be a quiet day. The guys are out at their different places & B is on another carers day course... this one is run by the St John. Great stuff - B said last week she, as an well qualifies first aid medic, had to show the instructor how to do an arm sling.... or something. As I said, great stuff !!
For me, I'm on good behavior.... just sat here listen to my cds & tapes, another happy day in the life of me !!
The music of the moment is 'The Very Best Of Broadway Musicals' & 'Homeland' by Laurie Anderson - the latter came out in 2010 & is well good. I've put both cds in my player on 'shuffle' just to mix things up a bit... at the moment 'Send In The Clowns' is playing.... why ??????
Well, I've always liked the 'Man Of La Mancha' & 'The Impossible Dream' is on this album. I'm trying to find the whole show on cd - I've not looked too hard yet, but one day I'll find it !! So many albums & so little time left..... never mind.... I like the book as well, no surprises there I guess. We all like to tilt at windmills in some way or another ?
There is a track on The 'Homeland' album - 'Another Day In America' - which has a story, I heard many times before. There was an old married couple, who had always hated each other & when they were 90, they got a divorce. When asked why they had waited so long, the reply was that they wanted to waited until the children were dead....... we love our children !!
I'm still working thru' my Allman Brothers cds that came last week. They really are great shows & worth having, if not for the vocals or guitar work - just to have & play whenever I need a 'lift'...... that more than anything is why my music is soooooo good to me. It keeps me sane, keeps the "better angels of my nature" in my head when it would be so easy to give up - give in - to what is happening...... if that makes any sense at all !!
B has told me to buy any of the Allman's live show that I want & not to worry about the cost - she'll sort that out later !! What a brilliant offer..... I love my wife, but can you imagine the look on her face if the postman came with a parcel of 20 + shows in a box !! I've no idea what the cost would be, BUT I'm not going to take her up on her offer....... IF nothing else - if the cost isn't a big enough excuse for her to 'kill' me - just playing some 50 or 60 hours of Allman Brothers concerts probably would !!!!!
Over the weekend, ME's boyfriend loaned me his Muse cds & come the end of the last one - well, I was looking out in case B was coming at me with a sharp object of any sort !! Out of 5 albums, I probably liked less than 10 tracks....... I won't be rushing out to go & see them anytime soon !! I'm not sure that B liked ANY of them. Never mind.....
The weekend wasn't a lot of fun. We were going to visit some friends on Saturday, but couldn't make it due to my being poorly + we missed Church again on Sunday. My "sorry's" have gone out to the Bishop. He understands my position, but I hate not going - it is such a big part of our lives, not going is.... well, maybe some of you will understand, if not - again, never mind !!
I must away......
