It's about 12.30pm here in England & it's quite a cold day today !! I've just put on an extra top - just to warm up a bit !! Anyhooooo - onwards.......
As mentioned, it's about lunch time & I'm sat here on my little old own-some !! B has just gone into town, to do the usual things..... pay bills, buy some food & take in a gym class while she is there - probably to work off the weekend's celebrations !! It's been a good one !!
Our Daughter ME was 21 on Saturday & we have had lots of fun !! As I sit, I can see all her cards & I thinks there are about 15 or 20 of them on display... add to that, all the gifts she had.... well, it was a really great day !!
She didn't want a birthday cake this year - just 21 little cakes, which B did really well !! They were full of raspberry's, topped off with a twirl of fondant type of stuff.... oh, the cake mixture itself was also a pink-ish sort of colour !! I had one & it tasted brilliant !! To finish it all off, B arranged them on a display thing with 2 candles..... a 2 & a 1... it was really good !!
After the 'party' (her boyfriend was the only guest) they took cakes around to various neighbours, who had given her gifts - I've got to be honest.... she was a little overwhelmed by everything she was given !! Onwards...
ME is back at Uni placement today & will be home a little later I guess. Our Son J is upstairs in his Hobbit hole... leaving me here, downstairs listening to the Allman Brothers !! It's their show from Boston December 3rd last year & is well good !!
It's one of the 6 shows that came last week - I'm still working thru' them !! They are all 3 Cd's in length &
I've had lots of fun listening to them !! So - that's the music of the moment........
Apart from the party on Saturday, I've had a very quiet weekend. I went out on Saturday, with B, to buy some shopping (which we think was my only 'trip' out last week) & for the most of the rest of it - I've been in bed !!
I'm having more & more problems sleeping, at night & this has a knock on effect - meaning I'm shattered in the day time....... hence I've been resting up in bed !! I don't think it's all to do with trying to sleep at night - I have trouble sleeping at any time, day or night..... oh well !!
On Thursday this week, I have to go & see my Consultant about the implant - to see what he thinks about it. I hope he'll be able to sort it out quickly, I'm just very fed up with the whole thing !! As B reminded me - it's been going on now for 18 months...... I really hope we can get it sorted !! Soooooooooon !!
As I'm still not 100% - I will probably head back to bed after I finish these words...... I will see how things go. We stayed home from Church yesterday, I was just too poorly to make the trip. There will be other Sunday's (I hope) & we can go then. We have heard from 2 members of The Church, to ask how I am - but..... there is not much we can tell them really !!
B & I had a little "moment" together - over the weekend...... I told her about one of my fears. That being, I will go to sleep one night & not have the chance to say "goodbye" !! It sounds very morbid, but that's one of my biggest fears !! Oh well..... back to music !!
On February 27th 1972, Led Zeppelin played - what was then - the largest concert ever by an English group in Sydney, Australia. I have a couple versions of the show & I've chosen the 2 Cd set... the tracks are:
CD 1
1) Black Dog
2) Stairway To Heaven
3) Going To California
4) That's The Way
5) Tangerine
6) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
7) Dazed & Confused
8) What Is & What Should Never Be
CD 2
1) Moby Dick
2) Rock & Roll
3) Whole Lotta Love
4)Communication Breakdown
5) Organ Solo - Thank You
That's not a complete show - I have a DVD here some place with more tracks on... but, the above is the Cd version that I have. There is also footage of part of this show, on the Zeppelin official DVD that came out a few years or so back !! As always, don't buy bootlegs.... they are 'out there' - just don't pay for them !! I'm not telling you to steal them..... just don't buy them, buy the official stuff !!
Two things....while writing the above, I thought of. ME & her boyfriend (M) went shopping yesterday, in Bristol.... they came home with little gifts for all of us, as a thank you for her birthday. Mine - well, it's a little 'flying saucer' type of thing, which you can fly around the room by remote control !! J has just been down here 'playing' with it !! We both agree - it's going to be hours of fun, playing with that !!
The other thing I thought of.... well..... ME is going to go on holiday, with M & his folks, to Spain. So, last night she was looking thru' my big atlas (the one B gave me a few months back) to try & find her destination.
She was having all sorts of trouble, looking for the place.... so, I helped. Believe it or not - my Uni student Daughter was looking at a map of Australia - that's why she couldn't find it ... she was looking at completely the wrong country !! She found it - in the end !!
B has just phone'd - she has paid the bills & is now heading to ASDA to pick up some foodstuffs......she phones every now & again, to make sure I'm Ok, bless her !! Even tho' J is here, keeping an eye on me - she still likes to check !!
Right, my plans for today - none really.... probably go back to sleep !! My plans for the rest of the week - well, apart from the hospital visit (mentioned above) to see my Consultant - it's going to be a quiet few days !!
I'll be back tomorrow.... so if anything comes to light, I will tell you then !! Until next time......thank's for reading......
Bye Bye
