I've not written anything since Friday (I think ?)... one thing has led to another & I've been a bit toooooo poorly to write very much. I was fine on Thursday, then Friday I went down hill - which I didn't help by going to Exeter on Saturday !! So, I can forget about Sunday & yesterday - I spent a big slice of it in bed !! Oh well, it's a life - but it's all I've got folks, so I'm grateful for all it gives me !!
Anyhoooooo - it's a Tuesday evening - B has just gone out to weight-watchers, followed by a trip to the gym.... J is behind me, in the kitchen, clearing up the supper dishes & our lovely Daughter, ME is out at work - by now, I think she'll be on her way home.... so....... That just leaves me here, typing this words. It's warm in here tonight, I've had the heating on most of the day, so.....
I actually checked with the gas company, to see how much we owed them. We pay every month, on like a bank draft thing - it turns out, we're all payed up - all but £4 something !! So, we're starting the winter off on a good footing, bill wise !! I thought we would owe them a shed full, but I paid up the excess the other week - so.... we're good !! As we pay something like £50 a month, we should be good for a few months... time will tell !!
Ok - I'm here & the music of the moment is Rush... our favourite group of Canadians !! It's their Texas show, from 1996....... I finally got myself a copy on Saturday !! It's meant to be a soundboard recording, but - well, I've heard better !! Never mind...... it's good to have it in the collection !!
Plus - it's got to be better than the Lp's I've been sorting out - for the guy in Church - I think I've OD'd on Perry Como & Nat King Coe today....... well, I think it was today !! The Lp's have all blurred into one over the last week !! Never mind - back to Rush.....
We went down to Exeter on Saturday, to see my friends at the record fair..... anyways, I got the Rush set from a guy I've known for about 20+ years now !! I couldn't believe it, when I saw what I had... a big "Yipppeeee !!" moment I can tell you.... added to the fact, I also managed to get a copy of a Gov't Mule show !! I felt like c**p - but to come home with two great shows - well, it was worth the trip !!
The Mule show is from New Orleans May 5th 2001 & the bits I've played sound really good !! It took me far too long to get my brain ("wot brain ?") into the Mule... but, I think I understand it now - well, more than I used to anyways !! So, all in all - a great trip.... sure, I made up for it afterwards - but, I'm glad we went down.
The next fair is in February - on the 25th - so, as it's going to be ME's 21st birthday on that day, we will be given it a miss !! My "little girls" birthday is far more important than a record fair !! Besides, by the time of the next fair in May, I'll be looking to get some more stuff - heck, it's 5 months away... I shouldn't plan that far a head really !!
While we were in Exeter, we had a look around to see if there were any pressy's for the guy's Christmas. We did find something, but.... the shops were so full of people, I couldn't get in any sense with my wheelchair, so we kind of gave up !! Never mind - it was a good day out & J came with us - he met up with a girl he knew thru' college - so, it got him out of the house for a few hours !! We were only there for just under 3 hours - but, it was a good trip all the same !!
The down side was... well, it spoilt the rest of the weekend - that is, I spoilt the rest of the weekend, by feeling poorly !! It meant we didn't get to Church on Sunday & I feel bad about that, but.... I think, after sleeping most of yesterday, I'm on an upward slope now !! I don't feel 100% - but.... I feel better than I did.
so, that's good - give it another week or two & I might even feel over the surgery. Heck, it's been two weeks & I'm still sore - never mind !! I'm able to sleep better now - so that's a bonus !!
Just playing this Rush set (it's a 3 Cd thing) & for some reason, the tracks don't match.... that is, what I'm hearing is different from what is written down on the inlay !! Very strange - but, no big deal - it's all music folks !! Onwards....
If all goes well, tomorrow, I'll have the new Nightwish album reach me in the post !! I'm looking forward to that one !! If you know nothing about the band, check out their web site !! I'm not sure how many albums we have by them now, but I think it's most of them..... also, tomorrow (I hope) I'll have the 'new' Rush DVD. I was hoping it might have been here before now - but....... hopefully tomorrow !! It's something to look forward to in my old age !! I'll let you know when I get them & what they are like......
The war of the building permission is still going on, with our neighbour. We are not alone, in moaning about it - it seems there are a few people opposing the build !! B was outside earlier & another neighbour asked her if we were for or against it. It turns out that several people in the Close are moaning about it, not just us !! It all sounds kind of petty, but... if you could only see what they want to build, it's massive !! I still think it'll get the go ahead, but.... I hope not !! It'll be a case of who you know on the council & - I think - where the guy will win.... not because it's right, but because of who he is !! Oh well....... moving on !!
Tomorrow is the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbour, 1941....... it's been a long time.......
Ok - I must away really....... I've very little to do this evening, but I'm going to enjoy not doing it !! I have some more Cd's to listen to & then sort myself out for bed - such a hectic life I have, I just don't know how I manage it all !! My thanks to my Russian friend for logging in - I'm back now... so, expect a lot more of nothing over the coming days !! Until then.....
Bye Bye
