It's a cold Friday evening in the wilds of England - the guys are behind me, washing & drying the dishes...... while My Wife & Dearest Friend has just gone out to a gym class !! I think she was feeling slightly "under the weather" - but decided to go anyways... mainly as she felt she had "eaten too much" today !! But, I give her 10 out of 10 for trying !!
Anyhoooo - it is a Friday & I'm here blasting thru' Iced Earth's 'Live In Athens' 3 Cd set. All day I've been playing some fairly low key, background 'musak' - so, I wanted something to blast the cob webs out of my brain hee-heeeee... no, really - if you want a quiet night in, don't play anything by Iced Earth..... it is not the way to go, for a quiet anything !!
I have been indoors most of today... I did have a Dr's session this morning - that's my local guy, here in the village. I really wanted to talk to him about what has been happening about my next surgery & - if I could - start reducing the number of tablets I have to take every day !!
For example, I have 13 to take at 7pm - followed by another one at 10pm !! If you add up all the pills & potions I take each day, well - it's probably up around the 25 or so.... I kid you not, I sort of rattle as I move, I have so many pills in me !! No, I'm only joking - no rattle, just a lot of pills each day.....
Anyhow, we had a talk... & he made a point - which B has been saying for a very long time. That is, I'm poorly, even taking the drugs - what condition I would be in, not taking them... well, it would probably be far worse....
So... it's been left as I am, for now. I hope tho', to be able to ease back on the things as the new year comes in. He knows how I'm feeling - very, very fed up of being sick... so, he understands where I coming from - but, he is the expert - so... I'll listen to his 'wisdom' & see how things go. It's been a very long 10 years tho' & sometimes - well, it's hard to keep flapping my arms !! Remember, if you're falling a long way, you may as well try & fly - so, flap those arms people, it works for me !!
Anyways - Iced Earth is playing now & last night (and earlier today) it was the turn of Peter Gabriel. He did a concert in London, the night before last.. so, last night, the BBC broadcasted it via the radio waves - it was very good, it really was !! I was a little' unsure' early on, into the concert - he started very slowly - but, by the end... the encores & what have you.. well, it was a really good 80 minutes worth !!
I did make a copy of it, to play back to myself over the coming weeks & I've played it thru' today - even the cats seem to enjoy it !! Hopefully the DVD, due out on Monday, will be as good - if not better..... I hope to have a copy, early next week - so, I'll let you know how it goes. personally, I think it'll be pretty good - but, we'll see.....
If I'm well enough tomorrow, we're going down to Exeter, to the record fair. I've e-mailed my friend to tell him - so, we'll see what I come home with. I kind of hoping for some more Allman Brothers - but, we'll see.... it'll be good, just to go down, for a ride out... if the crowds are not too bad, it should be a good day. What ever happens, it'll be good to meet some old friends again...... plus, I need some empty Cd cases from a guy I know.... he sells them quite a lot & if all's well, I come home with a few.
So, that's tomorrow - I'm not sure about Sunday... if we'll be going to Church or not. Apart from the health issues I have at the moment - I'm still a little "fed up" with the attitude of some of the congregation. Not one person has phoned to see how we are, how I am or how B is coping..... and that kind of gets to me, more than a little !!
We have had two e-mails... one from our home teacher, as we were not there two weeks ago & last week... plus another e-mail, asking to donate a load of stuff to a lady in need. I might sound selfish, or a "Moaning Minny"... but, just once, it would be 'nice' if someone would see how we're doing !! Never mind - time will not change them.... it's the way they are & B & I are not alone with those thoughts !!
So, that's the weekend plans - as for tonight... well, I don't have anything in mind.... I'm guessing ME (my beautiful Daughter) will want to watch her favourite 'soap' at 8pm... so, that will my ticket out of here & up to bed !! I am staying up later, most nights, but - with the trip tomorrow, I think an early night might be the wise move !! That will mean the end to this evening's music - but... it's been a long day & the amplifier could probably use a few hours 'down time' to get over it !! .
So, that's going to be it for now.... a few things to do & then off to sleep...... thanks for reading, and for now.......
Bye Bye
