I'm well... our son J is behind me, getting his 'tea' & he seems pretty good...... our daughter ME is out for the day with her boyfriend & B (My Wife & Dearest Friend) has gone out to her Aunt's 50th anniversary 'party'. I didn't think I was invited, but B says I was - I just don't remember it !! My understanding of the thing was different to B & my memory is pretty 'shot' these days...... so, I guess, I'll take her word for it. Onwards...... without B - well, I wouldn't know where I was or would be !!
It's been a quiet day - I've not been too far (outside) at all today - not even into the garden !! My only excursion was to the Dr's office - I sort of went outside, but only as far as the car..... his office is only in the village. Anyhooooo - the Dr has had a look at my hand (again) & he is convinced it was caused by a burst blood thingy. It is getting better & the 'blackness' is going more to a sort of horrid yellow colour + the swelling has gone down a bit more over night... so......
It is really weird tho' - there is this sort of lump, in my hand, that you can push around, under the skin !! He thinks (only thinks ?) it will go away in it's own time - I hope so .... at the moment, it is very spooky to say the least !! I know ME has joked about putting a pin in it, to let the "gunk" out - even the Dr said as much this morning - but, I don't fancy that too much !! He didn't want to do it, in case of infection or what have you - me.... well - I just didn't want him to do it !! I've got enough problems with it - without an infection as well .. life goes on & on.... all kind of gross tho'.......
The big news of the day is.... I've finally finished sorting out the Cd's & now most of them are in an 'A-Z' order. Yippeeeee !! The original plan was to have it all done by my birthday.... two years ago !! Yep, I got a little behind - but, it's done now. the only discs out of order are the few hundred on a set of wall units in front of me + the new ones that have reached me over the last few weeks or so..... but, I've actually finished !!
This is probably the best the Cd's have ever been sorted - well, since we got a load of them. When we started buying them 20 odd years ago, well - we had so few of them, that could all fit in your hand... now, I'm guessing, we have about 3000 or so. I've not done a final count up as yet, but - including all the Zeppelin stuff... well..... there is at least 3000. I'll have a count up at some point..... not today tho'.... It does mean tho', when I actual die, B will have a far better idea of where things are. That was my main reason for doing them - to help her out..... when ever that turns out to be, not today tho' !! I seem to be using the phrase too much today......
No surprise on the music of the moment.... it's still the Allman's 'Beacon 2011' box set. I'm up to concert 6 (out of 15) & I'll still be playing them most of this coming week I guess !! Each one is clocking in at about 3 hours - so.... even with the best will in the World, it's going to take me a while !!
I am enjoying listening to them tho' - especially without looking at the track list, it all becomes a bit of a surprise as to what is coming next !! What was a big surprise tho' - I looked at an English web site last night (I think) & it has a copy of the box set advertised at £499 !! That's way too expensive - even for me & I'm a big Allman's fan !! I guess, the place selling it, has to make a profit - but.... that's just tooooo much !! Oh well.......
So, that's the family & the music in my life.... well - at this moment in time...... My plans tonight are pretty easy, with B out until late (not 100% sure when she'll be home) - well, I have the roam of the place to myself. That's if I ignore the kids & as hard as that is to do - I might just 'shut down' for the night & take it easy !!
We have two friends birthday's today !! C is a guy I've know for years now & he'll be 40 something & Super Sister S... well, it's not polite to give out a ladies age, is it ?!! I hope we'll see C this weekend & as for S, well - she is about 250 miles away - so... we'll see her one day.
It was on this day - 4 years ago - following our Baptism, that B & I were Confirmed as Church members... we wanted to do it (B & C) before S went away & as it turned out - it all came together on her birthday !! Something we'll always be grateful for.
I hope we'll get to Church this weekend. I know Bishop understands about my health problems, but I really do not like missing too many Sunday's...... we go as often as things permit & I hope, really hope, we'll make it this Sunday !! B has a few issues with going - but, that is more to do with some of the people at Church, rather than the Church as a whole.... if that makes any sense at all ?!! We saw the guy who put his hand into her handbag a few Sundays ago - I think .... no, I know she is still pretty p**s*d about that !!
I thought ME had just come home - but it was someone else's car in the road. Where we live, it's a very quiet area - especially with the neighbour away - so when any cars come into the road, well.... you can't help but hear them !!
Oh yes - the plumber came yesterday.... boy, what a mess !! He put in a stop valve into the existing pipe work, which looked fine - until J came downstairs & switched the mains back on !! Water went everywhere - all up the wall, over the roof, the floor and all my new paint work !! It turned out the thing, he put in, wasn't tight enough - hence the water went everywhere.... one heck of a mess !! Today, I had to get the paint out - again - and 'touch up' some of the stuff that had been soaked thru'... it wasn't much of a job, but I could of done with out it !!
So, that's been my day - almost another week has come & gone !! I'm not sure what we're doing over the weekend - probably very little, hopefully Church on Sunday, but..... well.... it's been a pretty good week really. I was feeling pretty down in the dumps last week - today tho' - at this very moment - life is good........
Bye Bye
