It's just before 5pm here in England... it's dark & very foggy outside - "pea soup" thick fog !! Never mind - I'm here in the warm, got the heating on, the TV is playing silently over in the corner & I'm listening to the 3 Cd set of 'Once In A Lifetime' by Talking Heads..... I saw it on the shelf, so decided to give it a play thru'..... so far so good !! I've put it on shuffle - so I've no idea which track will play next.... should be fun.
It's been a very strange sort of day....... B got me up about 10, came down.... watched some TV & then we went into town. It was raining very hard, so B did most of the bit's & bob's, while I sat in the car. ASDA was really empty - for a Monday anyhoo - but... that wasn't sooooo bad as I hate the crowds !! So far, so good !!
We came home & we were just getting things together, when the phone rang........ it was a lady member of the Church, who lives up on the hills behind us. Anyways, she asked if B could go up, as another lady from Church had just cut her finger - I think she was just visiting.
Anyways... B went up & several hours later, she has just come home. She took the lady to the hospital & then brought her back to get her car...... about 3 hours or so after she left home. It seems that the cut finger needed 5 stitches to fix, so it was pretty bad !! Oh well.....
B has just come home & gone right out again, with ME - who is in town to have her hair cut..... she wanted B to go with her, for company & for a little support, I guess - so.... it's been a strange type of day really !! B has been running around like a mad thing - bless her for helping.... I'm not sure what they would of done had she had been out !! Thankfully we were here for her......
Ok - it's a Monday evening..... tomorrow is the big day !! Unless they cancel it again..... if they do that, well - you'll hear me complaining very loudly, no matter what country you're in !! I have to telephone first thing in the morning, to confirm the surgery is still on & then we're off to the hospital for - I think, about 7.30 or 8am.
So - tomorrow is going to be another hectic day for B - she should rest a bit, while I'm in surgery - but, I suspect, she'll just keep going until she gets home !!
I hope I'll be home with her, but that will depend on things go & how well I am !! Time will tell I guess - it will be alright, but.... there is always the chance things will conspire to keep me in overnight !! We'll see.....
Yesterday was good - we went to Church in the morning & met a few people. I also came home with a small box of Lp's.... I'm going to put them onto Cd for the guy who owns them. Bless him - he must be well into his 70's (I guess) & the look on his face - well, it was a gem !! The Lp's are quite old - but seem to be in really good condition, so things should turn out Ok..... it will fun listening to them !! Mostly classical, but what the heck - I can listen to the Allman Brothers afterward...........
...... or the new Rush Cd's, that came today !! Yep - they came & I've played the 2011 2 Cd set right thru'... it's well good !! It has all of the 'Moving Pictures' album on it - done live - so, that is really good !! At last, I have a live version of 'The Camera Eye' & that is a bonus !! Sometime down the ways, I'll pick up their DVD, that goes with this album..... it should be good to watch !! It won't be for a while tho' - maybe in a month or two !!
I've not played the other Rush album - recorded back in 1974.... but, I'll try & give that a listen when I come home from the hospital !! Plenty of time to think about that afterwards......
Right - so, the plan tonight is just to rest up & take it very easy for the remaining hours this evening....... no excitement, just a quiet night watching TV & sitting beside the my Wife & Dearest Friend. I don't think there is much to watch - but, it's going to be good anyways !!
I had thought I would be rushing around.... but, I did everything yesterday. Caught up on my e-mails, put things away & just got things in general, sorted out !! I don't think my computer table has ever been so tidy !! It will not last - that's for sure !!
The family were all here last night - for our 'last supper' !! B keeps moaning at me for calling it that - but, it's all in fun !! She does worry tho & feels we shouldn't tempt fate, so to speak....... it went well tho' !! Everybody ate to the hearts were full & we had a great family evening together !! Even ME ate a plateful - that's a first !! It meant a lot to me to have the guys here tho' - took my mind off of things & what have you.... if that makes any sense !!
So, that's about it for now.... for a day or two at least !! I see my friend in Russia has logged on today - I thank you for reading my words & - to all of you out there in Internet World...., keep reading.... until next time...
Bye Bye
