I hope all is going well for everyone..... we'll all doing Ok this end of the Internet !! It's a little cold here, so I've just opened up the heating a bit, to try & take the chill off the house !! It'll warm up in a few minutes or so - I hope !!
Right.... it's the last Friday of the year - the end of 2011 !! How weird is that !! I'm not sure what I wrote, at the end of the last year, but..... well, I'm still here !! So once again - another year to add to my life !! Great stuff !! It's not been the greatest year on Earth.... too many people have died, to call it a good year - well, I think that would be wrong !! But, for us - our little family, it's been pretty good....... heck, I'm still here writing my words & that's a big bonus !!
Anyhooooo..... the family. B has gone into town to put some cash into the bank & then over to the gym for an hour - it makes sense, to go while she is there, rather than make a second trip later. ME is upstairs, getting reading for a few hours at work - she starts in a little over 2 hours from now - & J is in his room, so nothing new there !!
I think he's going away, for a week, tomorrow....... he hasn't mentioned it lately, but he did plan on going for the New Year, with some of his friends. He'll probably say something about it - more than likely as he goes out the front door !! Never mind, as long as he is happy !! I wish he could find some work, but..... he is not alone !!
So, that's the family..... the music of the moment is Queensryche's 'Mindcrime At The Moore'. It's the 2 Cd set that came out a few years back..... I'm playing the second part. I know disc 1 toooooo well, so... I'm giving disc 2, to try & catch up a bit !!
I only ever saw them (Queensryche) once & that was soooo long ago !! They came over, to England, to support Dio in the 1980's - a long time ago !! I actually got a copy of their first album, for free !! I can't remember exactly which is was, but I won a free Lp in a pub competition & chose the Lp as my prize !! The rest is history, as they say..... I've picked up every album since..... the most recent being this years 'Dedicated To Chaos' Cd !!
It'll be interesting to see which is my first 2012 album !! At this moment in time, I've no idea what's coming out in the near future.... so, it will be fun (for me) to pick up my first '12 album !! Hopefully the Allman's will do some more live shows & I know they will be worth getting...... if My Wife & Dearest Friend, B, lets me anywhere near them, that is !! I've got to order the last shows of 2011 first........ soon, very soon........
As for our plans over this 'New Year' weekend..... I'm not sure really, I don't think anything too exciting is going to happen. Since 2000, we've looked out for all the fireworks !! From where we are, we can see right across to South Wales, so on 12 midnight, at the start of each year, we can see all the fire work displays, for miles & miles around !!
There is an old hill fort, behind the house.... from there the views are really good. Well, in the past, we've gone up there (in the cold) to look at all the displays - but, since I can no longer walk that far, we have given up on that !! I think ME's boyfriend is going to be here for the night, so maybe they will make the climb..... good luck to them on that !! I'll let you know how things go........
My plans for today - well, I'm not sure......... I'm still a little poorly, from a few days back - so, I might take the chance to catch up on some sleep. If nothing else, I can lay back on the bed & watch a DVD or 2 !! I'll see how things go....... and when B gets back.......
I see that quite a lot of you have read my words over the last 24 hours..... I thank you for that !! As this is probably my last post, until after the New Year' - well, I thank you for your time & I wish you all the best for 2012 !! Please keep reading, it means a great deal to me, to know you're there..... and, as I've said before, one day - one day - I might write something worth reading !! Until next time....
Bye Bye
