Greetings - From A Cold Evening In England !!

Hi Everybody In Internet Land - are you feeling good tonight ?  I am !!

Well.... it's another mid-week posting... so, that makes it a Wednesday (I think) - yep, it's a Wednesday !!  At least I've got the right day - I really felt like an idiot last night... programming stuff in, for the wrong day !!  Oh well - life will go on, I'll just double check things before I make another complete mess of things.. yep !

Ok - it's a cold day here in old England - the ladies of the house have gone out to the gym, so that leaves J & my old self here.  J is upstairs & I'm here typing these words, while listening to Derek & The Dominos  'Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs' - it's been a while since I've played it.... so, I'm giving it a good run for it's money !!  I'm playing the 2 Cd version tonight..... just for the heck of it !!

Apart from being cold - it's been a really good day for me...... or at least I think so.  I saw one of my Dr's this morning & she always brings a smile to my face, she is brilliant !!  I'm still stuck with the same med's - but... I'm going to see her again in 4 weeks & things might change then.

The Dr I saw today is from Italy & she is really wonderful to meet & listen to -  I've seen her a few times before & I come out smiling every time... she just puts my mind to rest, at ease... call it what ever you want.. each & every time !!  A really great lady & I'm glad to know her, I really am !!

I think the next time I see her - well... it'll be just before my next surgery.  She wants to check up on me, before I go back into hospital again... which is nice.  She looks after my 'mind' while the others take turns chopping me up into bits !!  No, it's not that bad.... !!

I see my American readers have been logged on today - so "Hello" to all of you... it's always nice to know some body is reading my words !!  I'm not sure where you all live - but "Hi" anyways !! I'm glad you're there.

back to today.  J came with us this morning, when I went into the Dr's - he usually stays at home, but he came out for the ride...... He helped us pack the shopping & what have you.  It's amazing how things seem to have quietly gone up in price !!  We buy (more or less) the same things each week - but... well, it's costing more & more every time !!  Today's 'few' itmes came to  a shade over £90... it's crazy.  Ok - it was a good size basket of food - but still !!

I've just been upstairs - it's a clear night tonight.  The lights across the sea, in South Wales, are really bright !!  Most times it's a little cloudy or at least misty, but not tonight..... time to put the heating on I think !!  That'll warm the house up for the ladies when they get back.  Plus, if I leave it too late, by the time the house warms up - it'll be bed time !!

B keeps syaing it would be nice to go to Canada & see the polar bears... near to Churchill... but, I think she would freeze her butt of !!  Maybe one day - it's on our 'bucket list' & that's for sure !!  It's going to be a big bucket !!

As mentioned before, I would like to go out to Australia, over to Egypt - up to Paris, over to the USA to visit friends & surprise a few people in Georgia & Utah... as well as New England.... & then up to Canada, to (maybe) see my Son & the polar bears... & also a very quick trip in & out of Bermuda....  Maybe not in that order... but... you get the idea, it's going to be a very big bucket to hold all those dreams !!  One day..... we'll see how time goes !!

So, that's the plans for the later - as for tonight... well, I have none.  I will try & listen to the 'in concert' I thought was on last night + there is a film on (much later) I'm interested in..... but, I'll probably be asleep for that one.  maybe, just maybe, I should turn the music up - no, I can't be that cruel to the village !!

I'm still playing the 'Layla' Cd's - Clapton's guitar work is completely out classed by Duanne Allman's... Ok, I know I'm bias - but !!  I must play this more often !!

I think the new Peter Gabriel DVD is out next week..... on Monday I believe, so that will be good !!  The live stuff he did on TV last week really was class !!  To re-work his songs, with a big orchestra - brilliant & well good besides !!  I should have a copy of the DVD at some point, so I will keep you posted on that one !!  There might be a live CD to go with it, I'll have to look & see.....

But, for tonight - I must away... until next time, thanks for reading !!

Bye Bye
