Today has been very strange.... mainly thanks to a computer glitch at the post office !! To explain. Most of our money is tied up with the post office - we get a set amount every week & that's what we live off.... Anyhooo - we went into town this morning to pay some bills & do some shopping... only to find we couldn't get any money out of the post office, because of their computers crashing - or just being blooming stupid !!
So, we stayed in town for a while, to see if the computers would come back on line...... only to come home this afternoon with zilch, nothing !! So, that wasn't so good - especially as we had to get a couple of tyres for the car !! It's due it's yearly MOT & the tyres we had on - well, they probably would have failed.... so we had a plan to buy new ones today. But, with no access to cash, there was no way we could do it.....
We came home, more or less giving up on the whole day - until B went down to pick up some meds for me. She just went into our local post office on the off chance, to find the computers had come back on line about 10 minutes earlier !! Great stuff - we then shot back into town, got 2 new tyres & now all's well with the World..... except we didn't do any food shopping, but that's no biggy - there is always tomorrow !!
Talking of my better part - B has gone to the gym again..... some kind of special night class or something - I find it easier to just agree, nod my head & hope she is enjoying herself !! When we talked about her going to the gym - well, I didn't think it would last..... but, as the weight is falling off, she seems to be getting more & more out of it - so good for her !! The rest of the family are here - sort of. J is upstairs in his room & ME is on her way home from a day trip out - so, she is here in our hearts as it were !!
That's the family taken care of - as for the music..... well, it's a 5 Cd compilation set. Back in 1980 or 81- I recorded a load of tapes to play at work & in the car & a while ago, I transferred the tapes to Cd..... I still have the tapes here abouts, but the Cd's are a bit better quality & will probably last me a while longer than if I kept playing the tapes over & over !!
So, having said that, the music of the moment is by Rush & a little while ago it was Led Zeppelin... there were a lot of different groups on the tapes - so, it's a bit of a muddle as to what might come next !! Oh well.......
For a change, I've not had too much in the way of 'new' music this week... which is not a bad thing really. I do like it when I get new stuff thru' the door - but, at least this way, I get to catch up on old stuff for a while !
Tomorrow, if all goes well - the ladies of the house are going to visit B's auntie..... I think they are thinking of dragging ME's boyfriend along - poor sap !! Anyway's while they are away for the day, I plan on getting my head down & try & finish the bathroom paint job. That will be exciting - but at least I'll get a chance to listen to as much music as my ears can take ... so the day will have it's perks !! Should be fun.... ho hum !!
As for tonight - it's another quiet one really... except for the music of course !! But, I'll turn that off as soon as I finish this - as it will nearly be my bed time !! As I keep saying, I need my beauty sleep - the music has just changed to Black Sabbath... see, there is a lot of different stuff on these discs !! Must away...... "as the sun sets in the west"......
Bye Bye
