We're ok this end of the keyboard - well, as I said to B earlier - I'm better today, compared to a week ago... time is a great healer !! This time last week I felt really bad - but, looking back on it, what goes around, comes around - not sure if that makes any sense ? Never mind.... I know, sort of, what I mean !!
Anyhoo - I'm here, ME is sat a few yards away on her laptop thingy, J is up having an attack of the 'man flu' & my Dearest Friend & wife is out at a keep fit class thingy..... which means, it must be a Wednesday - I'm getting good at this, guessing the days AS they happen !! Yippee - I must be getting better !!
Ok, the sad news of the week is that our Elders have moved on... we thought one of them would move, but not both of them, together !! One of them has gone London ways & the other is only moving a few miles away to Weston...... they phoned last night to say "goodbye" & it's kind of sad, they were really great guys to have around !! We'll meet the new guys this weekend, if I'm well enough to go to Church - so.... I'm sure we will welcome them as best we can !! Oh well.... onwards....
Today I went into our local book store & ordered the 3 books by Shelby Foote... they're about the US Civil War & look really interesting - well, to me they are !! Unfortunately, they are out of print at the moment, but, all being well, they will track me down a copy of each !! I could get them second hand, or via the Internet - an e-book type of thing...... but, I would rather have them new. We'll see how things go.....
... B said I could have them as a pressy... but, I'll stay away from the record fair later this month, so that will save me some £'s - that money can then (eventually) go towards the books.... I don't spend that much at the fairs, but any savings are going to be worth while !! I like going mainly to see my old friends & have a natter !! I'll skip this one tho'.......... I'll be a good boy !!
Talking of music - the Cd of the moment is "The Unforgiving" by Within Temptation.... I love this one - a lot different from their last album, but still VERY good, to my ears - sorry, my old ears !! I've already picked up some tracks from a radio show they did in February & I love them........ great stuff !!
I was playing the Grateful Dead box set I got a few days back, but I finished that one earlier - so time to shift gears & move onto some thing else for a while....... I still have a load of Allman Brothers Band stuff to play, but not too night, too tired !! Sob Sob .... such a hard life. B getting me up in the morning, getting me dressed & getting me downstairs - for all those people who think, "they'll ripping off the benefits system" - well, you try it & see how you like it after working from the age of 12 to almost 50 !!
I've gone from a fully fit person, to nothing more than a burden to my family inside 10 years..... life is like that tho' !! Just when you got it figured - something crops up & you'll back down in the dumps again !! I'm moaning, & I shouldn't, BUT being told I'm to have an Alzheimer's test in under 3 months, has got me spooked !! I do get angry at people, who consider us to be fiddling the system, for benefits...... never mind, I'm tired, so that's my last "rant" of the evening !! Upsets me tho'.........
It's getting a little late, so I really must away........ I don't like finishing so quick, but I need some med's for a pain in the back &.... well, it's time to go........ NCIS is only in under an hour, so I want to ready for that !!
For now
Bye Bye
