How are your computers treating you today ?

Greetings Worlds - How are your computers treating you today ?!

This thing of mine has been 'slow' all day - but, not to worry... it's working & that's the main thing, I guess !!

Anyhooo - it's a Friday night - almost the end of another week !!  It's very cold outside... but, the snow that was forecast didn't reach us !!  So at least the roads are clear.... which I'm happy about as B has just gone out to her Friday night gym class.  I get a little worried, when the weather is not so good & she goes out !!  She has only just left - so.... that leaves myself & J here to "man the fort" as it were !!

ME was here - after a trip to Uni this morning.... but, she has now gone out for the night, with her boyfriend.  As long as everybody is happy, that's the best I could wish for !!  Anyway - tomorrow she is working in Weston for the day...... if we can, we're going to pop up to see her, just to break her day up a bit !!  It's the first time she has worked at the shop (in Weston) & I don't think she was looking forward to it !!

She did tell her boss, today, that she is looking at other work prospects..... well, she told her she has an interview, so I guess that's the same thing !!  I get the impression, she only told her, in case they write for a reference... oh well !!  As I say, we'll see her tomorrow - if the weather is Ok.... I don't fancy going if it's raining hard & what have you !!

I've had a quiet couple of days..... I was going into town yesterday, but I never made it !!  B & ME were going in anyways, to have their hair cut - so, instead of us making two trips - B just made the one & did what needed doing while she was there.  I didn't really want to go very far anyways, so.... it made sense !!  I think, even we don't go all the way to Weston, we will have to go food shopping tomorrow - so, I'll see how we get on !!  I honestly don't mind staying in the house - especially if I'm not feeling too brilliant........ onwards !!

The music of the moment is Queensryche's 'Operation: Mindcrime' - it's blasting away nicely in the background !!  It is also a bit of a surprise !!  I was looking at their albums - deciding which one to play.... & I found this version, recorded 'live' at the Hanmmersmith Odeon in November 1990 !!  I say it was a bit of a surprise - mainly as I forgot that I had it !!

Now then - I do forget what I have here to listen to, but.... I knew I had this box set - I just didn't know it had this 'live' version in it !!  It's an official album - not a bootleg - and I remember when I bought it.... I just forgot what it was !!  It came out in 2006 & I bought it, while waiting for B to pick me up from court !!

These were in the days, when I could get about on my own - pre-wheelchair - & I was in Taunton, waiting for B to reach me & I went into the Cd shop to kill some time !!  I better point out - I wasn't in court for anything I had down - I was on a two week 'Jury Service' !!  My first & only time I've been called up !!

It might sound dumb... but, I enjoyed doing it !!  Sitting in the courtroom & listening to everything - all very interesting... well, I thought so at least !!  I doubt if I'll ever get called again or - even if I was - if I could even do it now, but... I enjoyed it !!  We were sworn to keep quiet on the case we were involved in - so, no gory bits to report on that subject.... it was good tho' !!

I was looking at Led Zeppelin shows - but, again, I don't have any from February 10th... no matter what the year !!  I do have more to write about - just not today !!  Sorry about that, for those of you who enjoy reading about the shows & what have you.......

.... something I did enjoy today tho'.... I've been playing a Cd by the brilliant Fish !!  It's called '13th Star'.  I've played it thru' 3 times today !!  I've enjoyed listening to it over & over.... even if it did come out in 2007 !!  I think it's the most recent thing I've heard by him.... well good tho' !!

My plans for tonight are pretty lame really.....  B will be home in a little over an hour from now & I want to get everything done, for when she gets home.  Then she can just kick back & rest up a bit !!  She has not had a "good day" to quote her words !!

I had to do a bit of 'fixing' with our washing machine - mainly as it just stopped mid way thru' a wash cycle & left itself full of water !!  I had to open the door - getting wet thru' in the process - & empty out the washing..... B had over-loaded it & the poor thing (the washing machine, not B) gave up under the strain !!  I think - come the end of it - B had also given up as well.... never mind... I fixed it in the end !!  I came, I saw, I got wet thru' - but... it's fixed now !!

As for tomorrow - all being well, we'll go & visit ME at work... if not, it will be a quick trip into town... such excitement !!  All being well - that is to say, if I'm well enough - we will be at Church on Sunday.  I wish we could go every Sunday - but, just lately, it hasn't been possible !!  I'll see how things go & hopefully it will all come together on the day !!

Talking of Church - today - well, not Church so much, as saying prayers....... today they have decided that local councils, should not say a prayer before meetings !!  It's a really, really old tradition - but, somebody has objected to it & the courts today have ruled against the practise !!  I wonder how all that cost to go thru' the legal system ?!!  Money badly spent in my view.... oh well, onwards, ever onwards !!  But, only in England could such a non-event make the news headlines !!  If people want to say a prayer, good for them - nobody is making it compulsory !!

Queensryche have just finished - Nightwish's latest Cd is about to start..... well, the instrumental version of it at least !!  I don't play this enough - I should put it on the iPod thingy, for the car..... but, I'm not sure how B would react to that blasting away, while she is driving !!  Ho-hum - I keep saying I'm going to put loads of stuff on the thing - but, I never get around to it !!  I can just imagine going to & fro' town with this playing !!  I don't think I would be very popular !!

Ok - that's enough for tonight.... I must sort myself out a bit & get things ready for bed !!  I picked up a very cheap copy of 'E.R.' from 'Play.com' & I suspect we will be watching that for the next few nights !!  B kept on saying they should repeat the old episodes, so I've picked up season one - as part of her birthday pressy's' !!  It's not her birthday until October - but, it's never tooooo early to start !!  Until next time, thank you for reading.... especially the person from Greece, who logged in.... thank you for your time !!

Bye Bye
