It's a Thursday here in England - yep, just checked & it's a Thursday !! B & ME have just gone out to a gym class & it's really wet outside again !! So - as I like the warmth, I'm staying here in the house tonight - mind you, I do that most evenings, sooooooo, nothing too different there folks !!
As I type, J is behind me doing the supper dishes.... so, with the ladies out, that just leaves me here - no cats, just me & the keyboard !! I think the ladies will be home in a couple of hours - so.... it will quiet tonight.....
By quiet, I of course do not include the music !! At the moment it's Dio's 'Donington' show from 1987 - I picked it up last year (I think ?) & it's blasting away quite nicely, thank you !! I've said this before - but, I saw the band 3 times in total.... from their very show in 1983 onwards. They were a bit special & that's for sure !!
Earlier today, B & I headed into town for a few minutes or so...... it took us longer to get there & back, as we only stayed a very short while. We had to pay some bills & pick up some food - so, it really was a quick trip !!
I wasn't thinking about going - but, as it was (at the time) nice & dry, I went along for the ride....... plus to look at some Cd's in ASDA !! There is very little I want from there - mainly as they only sell chart stuff & the (very) occasional 'Best Of' sets...... but, I always have a look, just in case I see something 'new'. I did see another UFO set - but, I didn't buy it, as I'm pretty sure I've got most of the tracks anyways !! Oh well.......
Just staying a bit with music - the Led Zeppelin "Cd of the day" as one of my readers calls it, is from 1969. On January 26th that year, the band played a famous 4+hour show in Boston.... luckily, about 90 minutes or so has come out on bootleg, the tracks I have are:
CD 1
1) The Train kept A Rolling
2) I Can't Quit You
3) Killing Floor
4) Dazed & Confused
5) You Shook Me
6) Communication Breakdown
CD 2
1) White Summer
2) Babe, I'm Going To Leave You
3) Pat's Delight
4) How Many More Times
It's a really great show & maybe, one day, the whole thing will get 'released' as it were - there is a rumour that the complete tape exists...... but, I've never seen or heard it. Maybe one day..... as always, don't buy bootlegs !! More another day...... Mind you, just because I've never heard it - well... there are lots of tapes out there, so... I'm bound to have missed a few over the years !!
I've just changed the music - I'm now listening to one of the tapes I (think) mentioned yesterday. As I type, it's the wonderful Roy Harper filling the room....... This guy's lyrics are brilliant, they really are !! Onwards...
I had a lovely - well 2 - e-mails from Lady V today........ we have never met, but B & I enjoy hearing from her. It's amazing to read about another set of New York shows coming soon, by the Allmans. I'm still getting used to playing the 2011 set !! Oh well - maybe B will let me have the 2012 shows as well !! I doubt that very much, but it would be nice to think about them.... Hee-hee........
Onto other things - I did think I had to see my GP tomorrow, for my weekly check up.... but, it seems I'm going to see him on Monday of next week instead. It won't make much difference, one way or another..... I go in, we talk about how I'm doing, have a laugh about it all & then I come home !! It's all a bit of a waste of our time really - but, he has to check up on me.... so - that's the way it has to be !!
It does mean tho' - I get a bit of time to stay in bed, in the morning... "Yippee" !! I'm usually awake early - but, it's nice not to have to rush around too much.... well, not for 10 minutes or so in a Dr's office !! I don't mind really - but, if I have a bad night... I don't feel like rushing around that much, if you follow my meaning ?! Maybe he'll have some more news on my next hospital visit - tho' I usually hear about it before he does........ oh well........
Right - one thing I must do, tomorrow, is have tidy around !! My desk, here in front of me, has stacks of junk on it - mostly Cd's, but also scraps of paper, books & - for some reason - a wooden box !! It's only about 6 inches square, but.... why it's on the table, I have no real idea !! It seems to be full of paper & stereo wires & plugs - so, there has to be a reason for it - but, I'm at a loss what that reason is !! I'll ask B about it, maybe she can fill in the blanks on the subject... we'll see !!
I've just let one of the cats out.... he was fine, wanting to go.... that was until the door was open & he saw the rain pouring down !! Bless him, I guess the call of nature was stronger than his wish to stay in the warm !!
All of our (3) cats are really good - they go to the door, when they need to go outside & we very rarely have any problems with them, how shall I put it - having 'accidents' in the house. But, when it's raining - well, like me - they want to stay in the warm & who can blame them !!
I've just had B's Dad on the phone - he's had a visit to the hospital for a check up. He seems Ok & has asked me to get B to call him, when she gets home later. He has been given a couple of poetry books, by a local guy - well, local to where he lives - and one of the poems is about him & my late Mother-in law, B's Mum. I'm not sure how keen B will be to phone him tonight, but - I'll pass the message on & I'll leave to her to sort out !!
Right - I better away for this evening.......it's not toooooo late, but..... I need my beauty sleep !! So with a happy heart & the Who blasting out of the speakers, I will be on my way - until next time....
Bye Bye
