It's a Tuesday evening here in England, the weather is cold, but - for now - dry........ I only mention this as I've just waved My Wife & Dearest Friend off from the front door step - she is at a weight watchers meeting, followed by an hour at the gym. From there she will go & collect ME (our Daughter) from her boyfriend's house....... she (ME) has been working today & as B drove her into work this morning, she has sorted out some sort of 'pick up' time with her - all very complicated really !!
So, that's two members of the family - our Son, J, has just gone upstairs to his 'Hobbit hole' of a bedroom & I won't see him again tonight - well, until it's feeding time, at least !! That just leaves me, here in the 'rec room' typing these words to you, my dear readers !!
I have to say a "sorry" - I've not written anything for 4 days !! I've not been slacking off or anything - I have, honestly, been a bit poorly.... B calls it "man flu" - I call it a pain in the butt !! What little energy I had, seems to have gone 'walk-a-bout' & I've felt well under the weather !!
It all started after our trip - last Wednesday - to Weston...... I thought I was just tired, but... as the days went on, I felt more & more out of it !! I felt low on Saturday, & on Sunday, we went to Church - but B had to bring me home after about half the service.... I think I was making her worried, sooooo she brought me home. Never mind - we made the effort, had a word or two with Bishop... mainly to say "sorry" for not being there for a couple of weeks.... & he understood. Mind you, looking like I did, he could probably see I wasn't firing on all cylinders !! Oh well - we went, I got sick, we came home !!
I'm not sure what became of the rest of Sunday - or yesterday for that matter - but, I seem to remember we went into town for a quick bit of shopping, beyond that, it's all a bit of a blur !! Welcome to my World !!
I do know one thing tho' - all being well - I have some more Allman Brothers shows on the ways to me.... "Yippppeeeeeee" !! I only say that, as the order for the rest of their 2011 show has gone in (thank you B) & as Lady V hasn't told me they've sold out - I can only hope the Cd's are soon to be on their way to me !!
Plus - on the music front.... I've been very lucky so far this week - and it's only Tuesday !! I'll try & fill in the blanks, as best as I can remember !!
As I type, I'm listening to a 5 Cd set by UFO. It's a collection of stuff they did on the Chrysalis label - called 'The Chrysalis Years' (ho-hum)... I'm only up to disc 3, but so far so good - it's a lot of music to listen to !! I'll be playing it for days at this rate !! Also, I have a 'live' Cd from Bad Co. called 'Live At Wembley' - it's a little lame.... it's just a collection of their 'greatest hits', just live.... nothing toooo exciting tho' !! Add to that, a single Cd by Yes called 'Fly From Here' - which as yet I've not played.......... If you put all of this with the Eric Clapton Cd's I (might of) mentioned last week, well - I've been well spoilt for stuff this past few days or so.... it's a shame I've not been up to listening to much - but, I'll give them all a good play this coming week or so !! Lots of music - so few brain cells to listen to it all with !! Oh yes - there was also a free Cd of Joe Bonamassa stuff with 'Classic Rock' this month...... again, I've not played it yet, but..... it's all music folks !!
With all of that going on in my life - I have to say a prayer for those people, still missing, in the Italian liner sinking.... our hopes are with the families + the families of the men who drowned off the Irish trawler, that also sank over the weekend........ something that was almost forgotten, because it was only a small boat !!
So, here I am - I've been away for 4 days & I have very little to write about !! It really has been a very very bad weekend !! I can't really write about being stuck in bed for several days, well - I could, but it would be just a page of ZZZZzzzzzzzzz's !! Hardly exciting reading !!
I do have to get myself together this week tho'..... there is another record fair this coming Saturday - now, that will give me something to look forward to !! It's only our local one - but, if I can, I'll meet up with some friends.... tho'... having said that, it's going to be upstairs & I'm not sure if there is an elevator !! I sort that out on the day I guess !!
Thinking about it - I might be able to check it out (the elevator) tomorrow..... I have to go back to the hospital in the afternoon & if I have time afterwards (or before) I could look at the venue & see how easy (or not) it's going to be, to get into the place !! I'll try & remember & check things out.
The hospital is just a 'check up' - it's all going to be a bit of a waste of time - but, the Dr's want to see me - so, I more or less have to go..... we'll see what the good medic's have to say this time around !! I'm in their hands really - I just get fed up of having to keep going back to the blooming hospital all the time !!
Being told last week, that the implant wasn't fitted correctly - well, that was a very low point..... but, I'll try & keep smiling, if nothing else !! B is very supportive - she really is - & without her, I would have fallen apart years ago !! I'm still falling apart - B is just there to pick up the bits, as I hit the ground !! Oh well......
I've just started playing the Yes album - mentioned above....... it's Ok, so far - but, to me, they should of stayed with Jon Anderson on vocals !! I'm always available if they need someone to fill in - who knows !! I guess not........
Right, my plans for tonight are simple....... play some music, play some more music, get myself ready for bed (if I can) & then play some more music - now, that's a plan I can live with !! Until next time.......
Bye Bye
