It's 2012 !! How can this be ?! I mean - I was there, just getting used to 2011 & now another year has come to bite me on the butt !! Oh well - who knows, maybe, as I slept thru' most of the last year, this is some kind of ploy by Hallmark, to get me to buy another years worth of birthdays cards !! No really - 2012.... "Wow" !!
The weather forecast, this morning, showed our area having very heavy rain.... which would blow thru' by lunch time. Now, it's 12 noon-ish & the rain has gone, to be replaced by sun & blue sky !! I can actually look right across to the beach...... I only mention this, because - for once - the weather forecaster's have got it right !! Maybe this will be something new, for 2012 !!
B has gone into town & phoned to say she had driven thru' deep water, just a little ways out of the village. I hope it'll stay dry for her return trip........ I do worry about her & ME driving in bad weather !! I'm allowed to worry - it's what Husbands & Fathers do best, when their 'kin' are out, on the road !!
Talking of my Daughter, ME - she is upstairs, working on some Uni work....... bless her !! Earlier, she was here & I showed her how to use the photo-copy part of the printer - I think she was amazed about how easy it is !! It's a good printer - just a little too good for what I need !!
Ok - that's my Daughter..... J, our Son is still away. He left on Saturday & - I think - is now in Telford, some place, with a friend. It'll give him a break & maybe chance to find some kind of work - tho'...... we'll see how things go !! I believe he is coming back on the weekend, but.... time will tell on that !!
So - with B in town & due back in a couple of hours, that just leaves me, here, typing these words to you..... & I thank you reading - where ever you are this day !! From America, to Russia & India, thank you for logging on !!
The music of the moment is Joe Bonamassa's 'Live from The Royal Albert Hall' 2 Cd set... which came out in 2009. It's more or less the soundtrack to the DVD he brought out of the same show - but, better quality than my copy of the s/t !! I do make Cd's of DVD soundtracks - but, when there is an official album out, of the same show, I much rather have a copy & buy what ever I can !! The copies I make are for my own use, so please don't be offended if you ask & I say no !! Buy the official stuff if you can........ !!
Having written that - I'm still working my way thru' our friends (from Church) Lp's.... putting them onto Cd for them. I've not done any, for a day or two - so, I must get back to doing them. It's been fun, listening to the old records - but, when I'm feeling poorly, a little too much for me to handle !!
I know, it's not that hard - but, I do have problems concentrating & need to be more "with it" than I have been lately !! Never mind......
.... but, feeling poorly, we have missed both Church services over the last couple of weekends !! I was hoping to go on Christmas Day, but B didn't want to go & last Sunday (New Years Day) - well, I just wasn't up to going anyhoooo..... maybe next time, if B wants to go !! It has to be her choice, mainly as she does the driving !! Oh well........
Back on music - we were watching Adele's 'Royal Albert Hall' show on TV, the other night....... she has a great voice, but - I just get my head around much of stuff !! Maybe it's not my type of music, but, I like most things !! Out of the hour long broadcasts, I only (sort of) liked 2 of the songs..... & one of them, we know better by Billy Joel !! Never mind - I think there is a DVD of the show out, so I might get a copy for B at some point, as she enjoyed the broadcast, more than I did, at least !!
The big news of the day - for me, at least - is that the brilliant Youssou N'Dour is to stand for the Senegal presidential elections in February !! The "King of Dakar" is running for president.... how cool is that ?!! It would be brilliant if he went on to win.... tho' I would miss his music !! Hopefully he'll win it - if nothing else, to get the guy who is there now, out of it..... he has had 2 terms in office, give someone else a chance !! "Youssou for President" - It has a nice ring to it !!
Talking of which - I think, today, the polls open for the Republican voters to help decide who they want in November to face Mr O'B........ good luck to all of you !! Maybe you should ask Youssou to stand !!
Ok - that's enough for now...... I'm not sure when I'll be back - probably later in the week. I still intend to run thru' some of my Led Zeppelin 'live' collection this year...., so I better have a look which one comes first !! Until next time......
Bye Bye
