A few months back - not sure exactly when, Roy Harper celebrated his 70th birthday with a concert. One of the featured guests was Jimmy Page.... I mention this, because when I came down the stairs this morning, there were two Cd's of the above concert, waiting for me on the mat !! My friend from South America, had put them thru' the letter box, before heading back to London for Christmas !! How cool is that....... !!
As I type, Mr Harper is going thru' 'Me & My Woman' & - for an audience recording - it's really really good quality !! If you ever get chance to hear Roy Harper, any of his albums are a good listen.... check him out !! I've enjoyed his music for more years than I can remember & to get this concert.... well, I'm over the Moon about it !! By more years than I can remember - I saw him in 1975, with Pink Floyd & he had been going a goodly long while, even by then !! Hopefully, he'll release it officially.... it'll be one for the collection & that's for sure !!
Oh well.... enough....... how are you all doing tonight ? It's a Wednesday here in England..... I've just said "Bye" to B - who has gone out to a gym class - at the front door, it's really cold out there tonight !! So, she'll be home about 8.30pm. J has just gone upstairs & ME is out at work & won't be home for a few more hours yet..... leaving me, here with one of our 3 cats - who has taken up residence in front of the fire. It's not in use yet - I think he's just trying to drop a few hints..... when it is going, he really lives there, only moving when he gets too hot !! We'll put it going over the Christmas - but not yet........
Anyhooooo, it's been a good day today. B & I went into town earlier, just to buy a couple of things & take some stuff back to the library....... such excitement !! We were home before 11am - so, it was really a quick trip !!
I've done very little all day...... just played some Cd's & watched a bit of TV. Very little has been happening !! Well, for me at any rate !! I had to go back to bed this afternoon - I was really out of it for an hour, I just couldn't get myself together !! Never mind - a little sleep did the trick !! I had to share the bed, with our other 2 cats - but, they have gone out now - so, we probably won't see them until it's feeding time !!
They are a Brother & Sister and to be honest, they never go very far from each other !! If you open the door & one comes in, the other will almost always be close behind !! They are B's pets more than mine - I put up with them - but...... sometimes they get to be a pain !! Enough of cats......
It's 4 days to Christmas !! There are a few pressy's under the tree...... maybe a few more come the day. But, it's hard, trying to buy things the 'kids' want - unless it's clothes...... hopefully they will like what we have got them !! Time will tell.........
Plus, this year, we will have a service, at our own Church, actually on the day & that's got to be a bit special !! This will be our first, in our own Church - that's going to be good !! Hopefully, I'll be well enough to go.... I'll see how I am on the day !! It'll be a good weekend, all around really - with the family & everything !! Christmas - it's always special !!
As for tonight - I'm having a quiet one...... well, if you don't count the music !! I don't really have any great plans - just music & bed I guess !! Such an exciting life I have !! No, really - I'm glad just to have some 'down time' !!
Tomorrow, B is out for most of the day.... visiting her relations. She'll also go & see ME, at work.... as she is working quite a few miles away, at the moment - so, that'll be a break for both of them. I think, B will also do some last minute Christmas shopping....... the food stuff is all in, but there is always a few things we've forgotten about !! Things you don't think about, unless you see them in the super-market or what have you !!
It's the last minute things that usually cost the most !! Oh well.... another day in England I guess.
My thanks, to those of you, who have read my words today.... from America, thru' Germany, over to Russia - I, as always, thank you for your time !! Until I write again.....
Bye Bye
