Right - it's a Monday & I'm home alone tonight !! The ladies of the house have just gone out to the gym & J has gone up to Cardiff to stay with a girlfriend....... yep, a "girlfriend" !! I know very little about the situation - other than he posted on his blog that "the move has begun" or something like that. I asked him about it all this morning, only to be met with a dazed & confused look - he seemed surprised that I knew anything about it.... why should I know, I'm only his Father after all !! Never mind - he is getting on in years, so he'll have to learn by his own mistakes at some point along the road !!
Anyhoo - B & I took him to the station this morning and off he went..... so, with the girls out & J in Wales, I'm here on my own - apart from the 3 cats. The last time I saw them, they were all asleep on our bed - situation normal there then !!
It's quite a strange night outside - one minute it's pouring with rain - the next, as now, it's starting to brighten up a bit. ME & her boyfriend were going over to Yeovil this morning - but, because of the rain, they only went as far as Taunton...... I can think of better places to go in the rain (like staying in bed) - never mind !!
The music of the moment is a 3 Cd set - a compilation - called 'Prog Rock'... it came out in 2003 & I found it earlier when I was looking thru' some of the shelves. I forgot I had it really, so I thought I would give it a listen.
I was thinking about something a few days ago - about when I first started buying music, all those years ago..
I can not remember which album it was - my memory is not that good - but, I can remember it was my 25th album !! I felt really chuffed about it at the time.... I had 25 bit's of plastic & I was over the moon about it. The same with cassettes - I remember having about 3 or so tapes & thinking that one day I might have a few more !!
Those of you who know me, well - you'll know that a few more came & went... now it's up around the
3-4,000 as far as tapes go - tho' I've not bought any in many a moon. As for the Lp's - I think it was up to about the 2,000 mark when I started to sell them off....... now, it's Cd's & I'm not sure exactly how many we've got - but it has to be up around the 3,000 or so by now !! Still, it keeps me happy & as long we're happy in life - well, what more can we ask for !!
B & I were talking about the Cd's the other night. The first 3 we bought were by Eric Clapton, Deep Purple & Bruce Springsteen. We bought 3 - mainly as we had a Cd player (which I bought B as a wedding present) but nothing to play them on !! So, I went out & picked up 3 as a bit of a starter - then, well - things just went on from there !!
I was over the moon when I found my first Zeppelin bootleg Cd, now we have so many - I've lost count.... it's more than a few & that's for sure !! But, I'm happy & B is happy that I have an interest in something that keeps me happy - if that makes any sense at all ?! I will never part with my Cd's - well, I hope I won't !!
Today, while in town, I took out some extra insurance - to cover the cost of my funeral expenses (lovely subject).... the guy seemed surprised that we do not smoke or drink - seems like we're in a minority of his customers !! No, I don't smoke or drink - I just listen to music & thank the Lord for every day I have to enjoy it !! At the moment I'm listening to a track by Gentle Giant called something or another - I probably will not play this again for "yonks", but for now is coming out of the speakers quite nicely, thank you !!
When we got home from town, I finished the painting !! That's not exactly true - I finished the bit I was doing.... I have a bit of wood to do & some touching up on bits I've missed or didn't do right first time around - then I'm starting work on the bathroom (I think)..... depending on which one (bathroom or kitchen) B wants me to do. The bathroom would be easier - it's smaller for one thing !! I'll see which one takes the priority & get on with it, depending on how I feel at the time !!
It seems like I've been painting for ages - but, in a way I have !! Only doing the bits I can do, when my body will let me & what have you - but, at least it's getting it done & that is something I know B was keen on. Still, it's been a good bit of fun - getting covered in paint & making sure the cats don't rub up against the wet walls etc etc !! Oh well........
I'm not sure what the plan is for the rest of the week - probably very little - but, if all goes well - I'll get a good start on the bathroom & hopefully get it finshed quicker that the hall/landing areas.... we'll see - have to decide what colour to do it first !! White would be good - I've got too much of that left over to thro' away, see what my better part says on the subject !!
Anyhooo - it's pushing towards 7pm & I must away to my bed..... it is early, but, until I can get a few good nights sleep under my belt - well, I guess I'll just remain the ways I am !! For now..... with Procol Harum playing in the background..... thank you for reading !!
Bye Bye
