It's a late Monday afternoon here in England... the Sun is going down & it's getting misty out over the coast - it's not been a very warm day, but it's been dry - so, that's good !!
B & I had to go into town earlier - pick up some food & stuff... plus put some (more) money in the bank !! I'm sure, somewhere, there is this little man - sat with all of our cash around him, smiling happily to himself !! It doesn't stay in the bank very long & it has to be someplace !! Never mind.... we're all happy, so that's the main thing !!
B & ME have gone back into town.... ME is getting a haircut & wanted her Mum along, for company. J is home now, from his week away - he'll probably spend the rest of the week in his room, so nothing different there !! As for me - well..... I've been better - but, I'm still here, so that's a bonus !! I had hoped we would get to Church, yesterday - but....... maybe next week, we'll see - I guess !!
As for the music of the moment, it's Iron Maiden's 'Live After Dead' - well, I think that's what it's called...... I can't see the label from here !! Anyhooooo, it's the live album that came out way back in the 1980's. I think I only bought it as we had seen them on the same tour....... I'm not sure why, but...... it was a long time ago !!
Another reason for having it, I guess, would be, it has 'Rime Of The Ancient Mariner' (their spelling, not mine) & if you want to trace that poem back - well, it'll give you a clue to where I write these words from !! It'll give you something to look up on the Internet Worlds !!
I see I've had a lot of people logging on this week - I thank you !! A special "Hello" to my German & other European readers !! I hope you are all doing Ok ?! It's good to know you're out there !!
Just back on music....
.... on this date - January 9th (1970) - Led Zeppelin played a brilliant show at The Royal Albert Hall in London !! I have several Cd's of the show - but, one I like playing is a soundboard recording that came a while back, the tracks are:
CD 1
1) We're Gonna Groove
2) I Can't Quit You
3) Dazed & Confused
4) Heartbreaker
5) White Summer
6) What Is & What Should Never Be
7) Moby Dick
CD 2
1) How Many More Times
2) Bring It On Home
3) Whole Lotta Love
4) Communication Breakdown
5) C'mon Everybody
6) Something Else
7) Long Tall Sally
8) Communication Breakdown
It's a really great show - one of many they played in 1970...... you can buy this - or at least part of it - on the official 'Led Zeppelin' DVD set. That came out in 2003 & features quite a bit of the 'Albert Hall' show.... It's worth buying it & as I've said before, don't buy the bootleg !! Anyhoo, that's bootleg No. 3 of the collection.... there will be more !!
On Wednesday - my health permitting, B & I are going up to Weston..... B wants to look in a couple of the craft shops that they have there. I'll go for the ride & - if I can - check out a Cd shop that ME's boyfriend likes !! I won't have any money to buy anything - but it'll be good to have a look !!
Then - on Thursday - I have to go back into hospital, for a few hours...... so, all being well, we can have a look in HMV. Not really to buy anything - just to check stuff out & see what is new (or old) & how much it costs !! I would like a copy of an early Seasick Steve album, but we'll see what it's like 'price wise' first !! I know I can get it over 'the net' for about £4.... so, we'll see how things go !!
The hospital thing is to just try & sort out the implant..... maybe, just maybe, get the thing to work !! Given how much it costs & how much it hurts - well, it would be nice if it did what it was supposed to do !! We will see what the consultant says - maybe he can dial it up a bit, I've no real idea - but, I mustn't moan tooooo much about it !! Oh well.......
As usual, I have no real plans for tonight....... I need to get an early night, hopefully then, I feel a little better in the morning !! What ever happens - I'll be back sometime tomorrow, so until then..........
Bye Bye
