I trust your days are going well, it's a beautiful day here in the wilds of England.... the sea looks quite nice out in the distance - not that nice tho' !! I ain't that crazy - not yet anyways..... maybe tomorrow !!
Ok - I'm here typing these words... J is behind me doing the dish thingies, ME is not home yet - I think she is at her boyfriends for a meal - & B is out at a meeting !! So, a quiet night ahead I guess !! We'll see.......
I was watching a bit on the evening news - it was 50 years ago today that the Russian guy first went into space..... I know I'm getting on a bit, but I remember that !! I was still at primary school & remember all the fuss our teacher made about it at the time...... oh well !! Now of course, we take "space travel" for granted - well, the rockets & things that have made our TV & communication stuff the thing that it is. People at Church think it's a lot of money for little return - maybe they're right - but, without the satellites & what have you, we wouldn't of watched the Conference as easily as we did the other weekend !! Never mind.....
We went to Church on Sunday - our first visit for a few weeks, due to the hospital stuff. It's starting to p**s me off a bit, the attitude of some of the people there !! I know we've been away for a while, but we've had a good reason - (I guess being cut open & having bits of me removed is a good reason ?) - but, to some people, it seems like you have to be there EVERY week or you're a bad person !!
One guy had a natter to me about the fact that we always sit at the back - well, yes - it's a darn site easier to do that in my wheelchair, rather than trying to push past people every time I need the washroom !! I don't sit there to be an idiot or something, I do it because it's better for us !! Enough of this moaning - I seem to do that a lot lately, sorry Worlds !!!
Talking of hospital things, I'm going back in on Monday of next week...... it's something to do with the implant thing that has been in the pipe line since last August. The letter didn't give me too much to work on, but..... well, we'll see how things work out. I know I'm seeing the consultant, but beyond that "I know nothing !"
It's a little bit of a pain - not knowing - because I was hoping to head down to Exeter on the following Saturday..... record fair time again. But I've e-mailed a couple of friends to let them know I wouldn't be there - better to say that, than have them expect me & my not showing up on the day !! We might still go down, but I doubt it.
Oh - the music of the moment is a Cd that a friend sent in the post. Traffic's 'John Barleycorn Must Die'... well, the re-issue that has just come out. I never had the original album, so - apart from the odd track - it new to me. I've enjoyed playing it as I type.... I think it came out about 1970 or 1971.. not 100% sure. It certainly is a change from all the Dio & Allman Brothers stuff I've been playing over the last few days/weeks !!
I've spent some time rearranging the Cd's - it's meant I now have a little bit more room to sort them into an A-Z type of thing - if I ever get around to it, that is !! I must make time - just in case - well, just so B will have a better idea of what's here & where they are !! Trouble is & has been for a while, I've forgotten some of whats here & what isn't....... hopefully, when they do the test (in a couple of months) for my lack of memory - well, it might be something they can help me with !! IF it's treatable, great - if not.... time will tell !!
If it's the dreaded "A" word, I will not let it beat me - I'm too pig headed for that !! Got to keep flapping these old arms of mine.........
Anyhoo - I must away........'tis getting late & I'm getting to tired to see the screen properly !! Ah, old age - "it's a blessing & a curse - you'll thank me later" ? Try watching 'Monk' - you might understand then...........
Bye Bye
