Well, as usual, I checked the stats - before I started writing - and I'm surprised to see soooooo many of you have logged on today !! Unless of course, you're one same person & you're flying all around the World - just to confuse me ?! Thank you, one & all - for taking the time to read my words.....
It's a Wednesday night here in England.... B has just gone out a gym class & it's pouring down out there !! I waved her off, from the front door & it's really wet & horrid - I'm just going to stay here in the house & listen to the music.... nothing different there then !! Welcome to my life folks !!
Actually, B helped me, earlier, to find the 'music of the moment'. I have a box thing, with the best part of a 1000 tapes in it & I was looking for 10 tapes, that I recorded almost 21 years ago. They were quite easy to find - being as they were all in bright yellow cases.... and the reason for finding them ? Well, that's simple really !! When B was in hospital - having had ME - I would come home to the farm (where we were at the time) & record a tape or two to pass the night away !! These are the tapes I'm playing - as I type, the Who's 'Baba O'Riley is blasting away thru' the house !! As ME is 21 next month - actually a month today - I wanted to play the tapes again !!
Like all these tapes - there are various things on them.... stuff I was playing at the time & what have you. A sort of small project of mine, to keep me 'sane' while I was on my own, all those years ago !! Oh well... it made sense at the time & it was better than going down to the pub !! Now, I don't drink at all - so, that's a far better deal all around really !!
It's mazing how much The Lord can help you, when you're low in spirit. I'm sooooo very grateful that He is our lives, thank you T for bringing his words to the both of us !! Read Proverbs 3:5-6..... my friends, if you need an up-lift at anytime....!!
Oh, the Blues Brothers are playing now.... it's a real mish mash of stuff !! 'Sweet Home Chicago' !! Great !!
Anyhooooo - I mentioned B... she'll be home about 8.30 or so. J has just gone upstairs, having put away the supper dishes.... that ME had washed a few minutes earlier. She has gone upstairs as well - so, I'm here, on my own some - no family, no cats - just loud music..... it's a great way to live, it really is !!
It's been a very quiet day - for me..... I watched a bit of TV, tried to record some more Lp's (for our friends in Church) but, I couldn't concentrate on that, so... I gave up & sat with B, watching a show (recorded last night) about first year doctors & their very first week on the wards. To quote what one of them said "We're crap!" I would not disagree with that & now I'm wondering how they will get on next week !?! I must remember to set the recorder to catch it again !!
As not to spoil things - as my day has been quiet, the night will stay the same way !! I'm on a roll here, so why spoil it !! I've to finish this & head to bed a little later on.... such a hectic evening - I better turn the music up to 12, just in case I fall asleep !! Hee-hee.......
I was looking at the Led Zeppelin collection earlier - seeing if I had anything from today.... I have 2 !! One from 1975 & the one I'm going to list, from 1973. So, on January 25th (1973) the band were in Aberdeen (Scotland) & they played a long-ish set, which I have on 3 Cd's:
CD 1
1) Rock & Roll
2) Over The Hills & Far Away
3) Black Dog
4) Misty Mountain Hop
5) Since I've Been Loving You
6) Dancing Days
7) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
8) The Song Remains The Same
9) The Rain Song
CD 2
1) Dazed & Confused
2) Stairway To Heaven
CD 3
1) Whole Lotta Love
2) Heartbreaker
3) What Is & What Should Never Be
When I first picked up a copy of this - it was in a fancy case & listed as being from Rotterdam 11-3-73. As the band were not there in March, it just took a bit of listening to - to pick up it was from the Aberdeen concert.... It's a good set tho' - with 'Dancing Days' from the (then) un-released 5th album. Oh well - as always, do not buy bootlegs, if you can get it for free, that's, sort of fine - but, don't pay for it !! There are some good official Cd's out there that are well worth your money !! More another night !!
I see my reader from Germany logged in again today.... a big "Hello" to you. I hope you're well & happy !!
Hopefully the weather will brighten up a bit tomorrow.... we're meant to be going into town at some point. The usual stuff, pay some bills, by some food & so on & so on !! If it's too wet, I'll go with B & sit in the car, except for the supermarket shopping.... that's going to be in the dry, so it ain't tooooooo bad. Going around town tho' - in the rain - is not a lot of fun !! I do "zoom" about in my old wheelchair - but, getting wet is not a great way to spend the day !! We'll have to wait & see how things go.... B has a meeting in the morning, in the village, but that won't take very long..... we'll see how it goes.
B is probably going to phone the hospital, for me, in a day or two..... I'm waiting to go back & see the Consultant again - the one behind the 'faulty' implant..... well, that's not true. The implant isn't faulty, it's just not working as the wires are in the wrong place !! As yet, I've not had a date to see him again, so B will chase it up for me.
I'm not looking forward to have a 'corrective' surgery on that !! Like my GP has said - it means "digging" thru' my back - to remove the 'old' wires & then placing the new ones in the right place...... great stuff !! He hasn't spared anything - going into detail, about how it'll be harder this time - as everything will of 'healed' in place - great, just what I need.... another surgery & more stitches. If you've read my pages before - you will know how much I 'love' having stitches !!
Hey, here's a thought - maybe they could give me a new scar & then I could play "join the dots" with a pen !! I guess that would be fun - better than those blooming stitches ahhhhchhhhaccchh !!!! Oh well - time will tell.
Maybe I could refuse the surgery & let them worry about the fact they spent £10,000 on me & it doesn't work.... after all, it's not my fault !! I did my bit - went in, let them knock me out etc etc...... why should I worry about it ?! Well - I would like it to work - I've been very, ("sob-sob") very low about the whole thing !! Luckily for me, B has looked well after me.... so, for that I'm happy !!
Right - I better think about being on my way, for tonight...... there is a slow Scorpions' track on the tape, as I type, & I think it's sending me to sleep - it's very, very slow !! "More speed Scotty"..... until next time, thank you all for reading !!
Bye Bye
