It's a Friday evening here in England - someone on the radio, earlier, reminded us all, that today is Friday the 13th !! No biggy - it's been a good day & it reminded me that, in 9 months, it will be B's birthday !! I don't think she would like to be reminded of that tho' - another year going under her belt !!
Talking of my better half - she & ME have just gone out to a Friday gym class.... I was surprised that little 'un went... but she has been home all day, so it's given her something to do. The other quarter of the family, J, is upstairs - so, I'm down here in the rec room, playing music as loud as I dare & typing these words to you !!
It's been a "so-so" kind of day..... I'm still feeling down in the dumps about yesterday & the news from my Consultant - I actually saw my GP this morning, my weekly check up, and he wasn't toooooo impressed by the news !! Never mind.... it'll sort itself out I guess, but I'm just very fed up about the whole thing really !!
After seeing him (my GP) B & I went into town to to get some stuff we forgot about yesterday....... the usual, pay some bills & get some food stuff !! I enjoyed my trip out - tho' I was still a little out of it, mainly from our trip to Weston on Wednesday.... but, it was a good day, all the same !! Especially for music !!
We went into the library & I came out with 2 Eric Clapton Cd's.... the 1973 Rainbow concert & his Madison Square Garden concert with Steve Winwood - I think the latter was from about 2009 or 2010, I'm not really sure, without checking. Plus - in the post today, I had Seasick Steve & The Level Devil's 'Cheap' Cd and 2 Cd's by ,the now departed, Gary Moore..... 'Victims Of The Future' & the live album 'We Want Moore'.. I had both on Lp, many moons ago, so it's great to get the Cd's !! It's given my spirits a great lift, to just be able to listen to them, without tooooo many clicks & scratches !! I'm playing the latter Cd as I type - it's a good listen, well good !!
I also picked up an 'unauthorised' DVD about Pink Floyds 'Atom Heart Mother' album...... it was in the library, so I thought "why not ?" - I'll play that over the weekend I guess !! Oh yes - I also managed to pick up a photo frame for my 'Pale Blue Dot' picture of the Earth... it's now sitting beside me as I type - I'm not sure where it will land up, but.. it's a great picture, so I couldn't resist the frame for it !! It's amazing to see the Earth from sooooooo very far away !!
I was looking to see what Led Zeppelin concerts I had, from January 13th - but, I'm surprised to say, I couldn't find one !! I will not look beyond today - I'll see what I have next time I post !! For me, it's been fun - looking at the old Cd's & seeing what is there - as B is keen to remind me, they will make a nice funeral pyre !! Bless her - I don't really mind what she does with them, after I'm gone - as long as she makes some use of them, I really don't care tooooo much !! I do know some good friends who will be banging on the door, in the hope she will give them away.... me, I'm "passed caring" at the moment !! No really - what ever she decides to do, would be fine by me !!
My plans for the weekend are just to rest up a bit - kick back & let my body try & catch up with the rest of the World !! It's been a very hectic week & I need to ease back a wee bit....... I'm not sure if we'll be at Church on Sunday - it really will depend on how my body copes over the next 24 hours or so......
One thing I am going to do tho' - that's check out which Allman Brothers shows I want & try to put my order in....... I keep meaning to do it, but - with my brain - I keep putting it off !! B said, today, I could have up to £250 worth of concerts & asked if that would be enough ?!! Maybe, after the 24 years we've been together, she knows me better than I do !! No, really - as much as I love the band - I don't think I want another £200+ worth of albums by them......... tho', you never know !! I will really have to have a good look & see what takes my fancy........ if only I had an office, then they could be sent there - that seems like a better idea, what do you think ?! Onwards....... before a build a scaffold, from which to hang myself !!
Oh I forgot - I also got a 3 Cd set today of (so called) 'Rock Anthems'.... it has all the usual suspects on it + a few odd ones. Maybe it's me, but I'm not 100% sure that Ocean Colour Scene have ever done a 'rock anthem' - I'll play it later & see what happens......... Maybe I'll use the new headphones, that ME gave me for Christmas - I've not given them a good "work out" yet !! Oh well.............
........... I'm thinking that's about it for tonight - I'm going to have to sort myself out a bit & get ready for bed. B will be home in just over an hour, so..... I must away !! Thank you all for reading, until next time.....
Bye Bye
