Well - it's another Wednesday & the end of another month..... how has your August been ? Mine just seems to have flown by - as usual, I can't remember much about it !! To be honest, I'm just pleased to be here writing these words - ain't life great !!
I didn't realise, until a little earlier, but - it's been 14 years ago (today) that Princess Diana was killed. I remember it was a Sunday morning (I think) & we were living on one of our farms at the time. J & I were going up to Bristol for a record fair, so I got up really early to check things out - so that B wouldn't have to worry too much about it, while I was away for the day. I came back to the house - it was still like 7am or something & I put the news on & heard she had been killed in a car crash !! Crazy - I can't remember what I was doing yesterday - but I can remember exactly what I was doing 14 years ago !! Oh well.....
Talking of my better half - she is about 300 yards away, at the school - doing their Wednesday night fitness club thingy...... good for her I say !! As for the other members of the family.... J is - as usual - upstairs on his computer & ME is out for supper with her boyfriend's family. I think she'll be back later, tho' I'm not sure exactly...... she might be staying over.
As for the music - it's the very last disc of the Allman Brother's Beacon shows from earlier in the year - it's taken me a while - but I finally got to the end of them !! After this - I have their two Wanee shows from April to listen to & then that will be the whole box set done & dusted !! Great fun - Heaven knows what I'm going to listen to after that..... I've been playing the Allman's nearly non-stop for over a week now - so, time for a change I guess !!
Earlier I had to get B to drive me into town - to use the bank. I've sorted out my funeral & stuff - but some reason, the people who are dealing with it, wanted to take out another 'payment' tomorrow. After a couple of phone calls - yesterday & today - they were still going ahead with it - so I went to the bank & told them to with-hold payment. If the company still want to take my money, then they will have to rob the bank !! I could get them to stop taking the money, so I got the bank to stop giving it to them !!
I know it's a crazy subject to deal with - your own funeral - but, I ain't going to be ripped off while I'm still breathing - after I'm gone, they do what they want & bu**er them all !! But not while I'm still warm & kicking !!
Also earlier - I found a DVD - which J had something to do with, back in 2008.... on it were my next door neighbour & his daughter. As they had never (I guess) seen it - I got J to make a copy for them & B took it over. The neighbour is in his late 80's or early 90's - so I thought he would like to have a copy.... hopefully they will enjoy it !!
As for the neighbour from hell - they are back from their summer holidays & it's back to situation normal !! How can a family of 3 make soooooo much noise !! Maybe I should record them & play it back even louder - so they can hear what everybody else can hear, day after day !! Never mind.....
I found, also, one of my Church talks. I've only done two & I've recorded both - not something I'm supposed to do according to the Elders !! Anyhooo - I doubt if I'll get asked to do another one or - even for that matter get to hear others for sometime !! It's a shame & I am upset about it all - but..... what can you do.... B & I are a partnership & her love means more to me than anything !!
I must away now - the Allman's are just wrapping up 'Whippin' Post' & that's a good enough reason for me to find something new to listen too.... for now.....
Bye Bye
