Well, hello there !!

Hi & many greetings to you all - I really hope your Worlds are treating you well !!

Life is good sometimes.... and today IS a very good day - well, it is for me anyways !!  Can I say, to start with - a big "hello" to my new friend on the sub-continent !!  Good to know you'll there my friend - I really hope you hang around & enjoy this old blog of mine !!

Today, the family are out & about - leaving me here with cats..... one of which is very warm & snug on the bed.  I'm sure he sleeps 23 hours a day, only going out side for a stretch & bathroom duties !!

B (my Dearest Friend & Wife) is out with a lady from Church - that is to say, she is out at the ladies house, having lunch.  She took J (my son) to town first & then was going over to the house..... that just leaves ME (my daughter) & she is somewhere in Bath today, at a meeting.  It's the first time she has driven there & 'phoned earlier to say she was there, but couldn't find the building !!  We later had a text to say she was Ok & she was where she was meant to be !!

ME is really enjoying her studies now - the placement, she is on, is giving her stuff to do & she seems to be loving every minute of it - like the meeting today !!  As for J - as expected, his contract hasn't been re-newed at the college, so he is back looking for work....... shame really, because the college was just right for him !!  Oh well.....................

The music of the moment - for a change - is Beethoven: Symphony Number 9.  I know it's a bit different for me - but I saw the Cds on the shelf & went with it.  With no one in the house, I've got the sound a little bit higher than normal & it's been a good listen so far !!

But, having said that - a copy of soundtrack to the film 'Sahara' has just come thru' the door, so that will get played in a little while.... I'll probably play the Beethoven thru' first - I'll see.........

Still on the music thing - I have started (again) to list the Cds !!  I know I started before & never finished it - but this time I'm determined to try & complete the task ahead of me !!  If not for me, but for the family, to give them a list to work from when I'm gone...... that sounds very "over the top", but I know what I mean & B has given me some support - so hopefully (this time) I'll do a complete, up to date, list !!

I've already done 2 shelves - worked my way thru' to the letter 'D'....... only another 1000 or so Cds to do & maybe it'll be done !!  I should explain, that's 2 shelves on one unit - so really, it's not such a big deal as it might sound.... I still have 4 other units to work thru' !!  Oh well........

I'm still a bit "up in the air" over my trip back to the hospital on Monday of next week - I was hoping my Dr' could kind of fill in the blanks, but he didn't know anything more than I did !!  So, next Monday I'll know what's what & I'll (we'll) take it from there !!  Hopefully they will do the implant thing - which will be such a bonus for me - but, we'll see.

B has been very supportive over it & keeping me 'calm' - stopping me worrying too much - & has made the point that it's only likely to be a quick visit - so nothing 'new' to worry about !!  Time will tell & with my family there to support me, I'll pull thru' it !!  Plus, as it's not until next Monday - I'll get to go to Church on the Sunday....... I keep thinking it's Easter this weekend, but that is still a week away !!

I'm a little confused about it all really - I've got all my days & dates mixed up again...... this weekend ME & her boyfriend are going away for a few days & that's what has thrown me sideways a bit... never mind !!  I hope the weather will keep nice for them.

For now, with Beethoven playing in the background, I will away...... 'til next time.....

Bye Bye
