It's been a sad day here in England.... Our Daughter's hamster - 'Jerry' - passed away quietly in his sleep this afternoon. I don't want to make light of the whole 'death' thing, but he will be really missed !! ME was out at the time, so B did the best we could & buried the little mite out in the garden - he now has a pot of flowers covering his grave.... bless him.
Plus - if that isn't bad enough - her boyfriend's dog had to be put to sleep today.... so, all in all, not a good day for the 'kids'. But, I'm sure they will get over it all in time.... life goes on.
As for the other 'kid' in our family, J... well - we've not heard anything from him since he left for Cardiff... we can only hope he is doing Ok & might think to call us at some point.... He did say he would be home - maybe - on Thursday, so we'll see what happens tomorrow !! Time will tell & he's old enough & ugly enough to make his own life... for good or bad !! We could call him. but....... we'll see.....
So, I'm here with ME sat not too far from me, both of us on our computers. B has gone out to the gym for some class or another - I hope all this 'gym stuff' works out in the long run - she'll be really upset if the weight stays on after all her hard work !!
That's the family - as for the music of the moment... well, that's an old Gregg Allman 'live' tape from the '70s (the 1974 tour) - but it's been quite a good listening type of day !! From Billy Joel, thru' Roky Erickson & Anvil - with some other stuff in between that I've forgotten about, I'm sure !!
I've started painting the bathroom today - just the walls (the easy ones) & while I've been up there, the music has been playing down here to keep me going !! I think it's been about 4 years since it (the bathroom) was last painted - yep the Sister's were here at the time - so, it's been 4 years...... I'm only doing it to keep my stupid old mind fixed on something !! So much is going on at the moment, that I need to focus, to stop myself going slightly doo-alley !! I'm finding it hard going at the moment - so anything that I can do to take my mind off things - to keep my arms from folding up & stop flapping, helps !!
That might not make much sense - but, those of you who know me might understand ?! There is only so much the drugs help with - yep, I know I said yesterday (or the day before) that I kind of need the pills & stuff, but sometimes.... well, sometimes they don't always help with everything !!
So, today - I've been painting, playing music & reading.... it's not much I know, but - it helps me to get thru' the days when I'm feeling down, bluesy or whatever it's called when things get on top of me !!
The music of the moment is now Tift Merritt's 'Buckingham Solo' live Cd - I needed a change from Mr Allman's boogie !! Such a great voice this lady has got - check her out if you can. She really was good live, supporting Gregg Allman in Birmingham. I doubt if we'll get to see her again, but I'm glad we had the chance, just once to see her - a short, but sweet moment !! Plus, she was nice to talk to after the show....
Later tonight, in about 90 minutes, they're is the first part of a two part ducumentary, I want to watch..... if I stay awake that long !! It's about the search & recovery of Liberty Bell 7 - the second manned spacecraft, the USA sent up in the '60s. It sank on splash down & was thought to be lost - then somebody found it & brought it back to the surface....... it sounds kind of boring, as I'm writing this - but, it's the sort of thing I like watching !! It's my sort of show.......
For now - I must away..... until next time !!
Bye Bye
