A Grand day Out..... in Weston ??????

Welcome Worlds.... I hope you are all doing Ok this evening ?!

It's a Wednesday night here in England & I'm completely bushed !!  B, J & myself spent most of the day - well, the early part, at least - in Weston..... it got to the point that my arms wouldn't work anymore & B had to push my chair for a while !!  Not something I'm toooooo keen on, but........ it was either that, or spend the night in the place !!

No - it wasn't that bad !!  I'm really glad to be home & in the house.... but, it was a good day !!  B had a good look at the various crafty places, well.... one we knew about & one we found by accident !!  In the end, she came home with some "good stuff" as she puts it - so, I couldn't wish for anything more !!  As long as she is happy, that is all I can wish for really !!

J had to go into town this morning - so, we waited for him to finish & then he came with us.  In a way, I'm glad he did - he knows his way around Weston better than we do !!  He has mates who live there & spends a bit of time with them, so.......

..... I thought, if we saw them, we could have some fun with the serving Elders - but, we didn't see anything of them.... which was a shame !!  We always love having fun with them - especially if it's a different area to ours !!  If you have no idea what I'm talking about..... well.... read my old posts !!  Never mind...

It was a great day out tho'..... it has been a very long time since we last went there, just to do some shopping & what have you.  We even went onto the new pier - the old one burnt down a few years back.  It's been re-built & looks Ok - tho' the main 'building' is a little crowded with stuff...... either that or, as B said, we're getting old !!

I did find the Cd shop that ME & her boyfriend told us about - but I broke one of my album buying "Cardinal Rules" !!  That is - if I see an album, that I want, I should buy it !!  Or, as was the case today - I saw one, thought it was toooooo expensive & left it on the shelf.... thinking Play.Com would be cheaper !!  Of course - I come home & 'Play' doesn't have it, at all - so I looked on 'Amazon' - only to find they wanted £50 for it - £36 more than the shop !!

I keep telling B & the guys - "if you see it, buy it" and I didn't.... so, I'm an idiot & that's a fact !!  Oh well !! I
guess, at some point, I'll find the Cd again - actually, it was a 4 Cd set - but, I could kick myself !!!!!!!!

Ok - that was our day... apart from coming back to ASDA & doing a weekly shop..... plus, before we went out, B had an e-mail to say the planning had gone thru' !!  So, our horrid neighbour will get to build her extension - well, that is to say, her Dad will.... it's his house after all !!  But - there is a chance it will get held up !!

The neighbour on the other side is refusing permission for them to use part of their land, to erect stuff, during the build !!  Unless they can do that, the build will have to be stopped & re-planned !!  We will see what happens I guess !!  I've never known a person - our neighbour - to be sooooo disliked by people !!  It's not just us - but, it seems a whole group of people, like us, who are "fed up" with the way she treats us, her neighbours !!

There are 2 ways of doing things - her way & the wrong way...... if you know what I mean !!

Never mind - the music of the moment is the Peter Gabriel concert, that the BBC put out in October 2011 - I do like it.... I'm pleased I've got a copy for myself - now, Mr Gabriel, please go & release it officially, so I can have an even better copy !!

Oh yes - a quick Led Zeppelin thing for you :  January 11th (1969) the band played (another) show in San Francisco - what is sooooooo special about this concert is that a few tracks have come out from the soundboard !!.... so, the tracks are....
1) I Can't Quit You
2) Dazed & Confused
3) You Shook Me
4) How Many More Times
5) Communication Breakdown

It's only short - but it's the earliest soundboard recording I've found by the band & that, kind of, makes it a bit special I guess...... more Zeppelin next time, I guess !!

Tomorrow is going to be a bit of a fun day for me - I'm heading back to the hospital, to see if the Consultant can do something about this implant of mine !!  Hopefully, if nothing else - he can stop the thing from hurting soooooo much !!  Usually I have back pain - but, this past month or so has been some of the worse I've had to put up with in many a year !!  Having 2 wires stuck into my spine has not been a lot of fun folks !!

If - and I say if - the actual implant was working & doing what it was supposed to do... well, that would be something... but, at the moment it's a double whammy !!  We'll see what he has to say tomorrow - maybe he can do something to help, maybe turn the 'pulse' up a bit, I'll let you know how it goes !!  Here's hoping !!

So that's tomorrow.... I forgot to mention about tonight !!  I'm here typing - with our oldest cat sitting beside me - B has gone to a gym class, J is in his room & ME & her boyfriend are upstairs, someplace - there is a Liverpool match on tonight, so I' guessing they - or at least he - will be down to watch that !!  Me - I'll have it on - but, if I watch it is another thing !!  I'm not a big football fan - sorry, that would be what we call football !!  Not grid-iron stuff......... oh well !!

I must away for now.... I really am tired out & I need to get myself together, ready for bed !!  It's only 7.10pm, but I am totally out of it !!  Until next time.......

Bye Bye
