It's cold here tonight - cold & wet unfortunately !! I tried to get the rec room fire lit, but the only wood I had was too wet, so it was a bit of a waste of time really....... I'll try again tomorrow !! I might even try again later tonight, but that's unlikely.....
3 quarters of the family are here at home this evening. J is upstairs someplace, ME is here with me doing some Uni work & your's truly is here typing these words. B has just gone out to a keep fit thing here in the village - she'll be back later on !!
As for the music of the moment - it's Pink Floyd's 'Earls Court' concert from October 20th 1994. Ok, I know some people will argue, it's not from Earls Court etc etc - but, this concert certainly is & on that front, I am 100% sure !! Floyd did a lot of concerts in '94 & some get mixed up - but, not this one folks....... oh well !!
I was thinking I should of played Zeppelin's 'Blueberry Hill' concert over the last couple of days - it was 41 years ago this week that show took place & it's one of my favourites !! I remember, making the trip up to London, to the very old Virgin records & asking for the Led Zeppelin bootleg - there was only one out at the time & when I left the shop, went down stairs....... There was a guy outside the shop - he had just bought a Jethro Tull bootleg. We talked for a minute about our new Lp's & both agreed, tho' we never said anything..... We were kings !! We said our goodbye's & I made the 150 mile trip home.
Little did I know then - well , some 40 years later, I now have 6 boxes of Zep bootlegs.... about 500 in all (maybe a few more) & if nothing else - B will make a really big bonfire out of them when I'm gone !! Hopefully, she won't burn them all - some of my dearest friends want to get their hands on them !! Great stuff !!
As I've said before - don't buy bootlegs...... if someone won't let you have them for free, don't buy them... it's just not right !! For the record - mine are not for sale !!
I had a nice surprise last night - some one in Russia read my words yesterday !! Greetings to you - I hope you'll read this as well & I wish you well !! You're my first reader from your fair country & altho' I've no idea where you live - it's great to know you're there !!
I used to have a Russian pen pal, but we lost touch - he left his wife & moved on - so..... without an address - it was kind of hard to keep up with him !! Oh well - I remember his wife, she was really sorry she didn't have an address for me to write to him.... never mind !! I still have a picture here someplace..... not sure where.
My plan came together last night.... I went to bed early, did some reading - got up for a short while when B got home - then fell asleep for the night....... a great plan & it all came together !! I didn't have a plan for this evening, but - as I've been in bed asleep for most of the day - I probably won't go to bed so early tonight !!
I wasn't feeling too "happy" earlier - felt like c**p really - so, sleeping it off was (for me) the best way to go. It's hard to put into words - but, as the year has gone on & my health seems to have got worse - well, sleep is a good remedy !! Oh well - I'm still here - so, I won't moan tooooo much !!
I've just taken my evening set of pills & potions - I'm only on 10 at night now !! It did go up to 13 or 14 a while back, but now the size of the pills have increased - well, I don't have to take so many !! Which is a good thing....... tho' I have no problem taking pills - the numbers sometimes get to be a drag !!
I hope it'll be dry tomorrow - I have to mail a parcel off to a mate & I really do not fancy going out into the rain !! I've not been too far this week - well, not since our trip to Church on Sunday. I can't say I'm looking forward to going into town - but, if that's what I need to do - so be it !! Whatever happens - I need to get the parcel wrapped & posted !! Hopefully he'll get ti by the end of next week - it's going to go out to South America & I really have no idea how long that will take !! We'll see.....
Anyhooooo - the Cd is just coming to an end with 'One Of These Days' - so, I better head on & leave these words for you.
Bye Bye
