It's a little before 9.30am here in England.... I'm up & about early today !! B woke me a short while ago, as she was on her way out to town, for a meeting with her Cousin. She wasn't looking forward to going - the Cousin spends most of the time moaning about her husband.... so..... B wasn't too happy about going !! But as she said to me, if she didn't go today - the Cousin would just keep on until they met up !! Oh well.......
It seems that the Cousin & her husband are going thru' some sort of separation thing - while still living in the same house & what have you !! All very strange !! Anyhoo - that's up to them I guess..........
So - that's B..... she's in town, meeting said Cousin, doing some shopping & then going on into the gym..... probably to work off the meeting...hee-hee !! J is upstairs - thinking about going down to the village..... they are dong a 'blood donor' session in the Church hall - if he goes, that's up to him !! I used to give - even got my 'silver' badge for going over 25 times - but, since I was taken ill, well, my blood can't be used anymore !!
Anyways - that's J.... ME, bless her, has gone off to a Uni placement - her last one !! It lasts 18 weeks - but, by the time she has done something like 10 of those weeks - her Uni work will be completed & that is something to be proud of !! She left here at 7.30am... just to make sure she was on time !! Great stuff !!
As for me - I'm sat here typing these words.... the music of the moment is the Gratefull Dead's 'For The Faithful' live set...... which I think is a bootleg of their 1994 Huntington show. It bops along quite nicely !!
Talking of bootlegs.... I've found a Zeppelin show from February 20th 1972, while the band were on their first & only tour of Australia !! It's a two Cd set from Melbourne:
CD 1
1) Immigrant Song
2) Heartbreaker
3) Black Dog
4) Since I've Been Loving You
5) Stairway To Heaven
6) Going To California
7) That's The Way
8) Tangerine
9) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
CD 2
1) Dazed & Confused
2) Rock & Roll
3) Whole Lotta Love
It's not a complete recording of the show - I'm thinking there is a track or two missing from the tape, but it's still good to have in the collection !! As always, don't pay for bootlegs - buy the official stuff !!
It's been a good weekend !! On Saturday, B & I went into town & did a bit of shopping.... it was a little cold & wet, but...... & yesterday, for the first time in weeks, we went to Church !! It was good to be back, but I did leave with a puzzle, for my mind to ponder !!
We are members of the Church for nearly 5 years & we have waited for our chance to go to Temple. We have waited & waited & waited..... then, yesterday - a lad, new to the Church - he was only Baptised 7 months ago - did his first talk. It was good to listen to, but..... while we were shopping on Saturday, he was at Temple !! That's right - less than a year in the Church & he is in the building, doing Baptism's for the Dead !!
So - I am puzzled - we have waited & waited & waited, for our chance to go to the Temple & yet.... the above happens !! Am I jealous ? No, not really - but, what have we done sooooo badly that we have not been allowed to go ?! I'm not so much jealous, more "hurt" about the whole thing !! Maybe one day.... !!
Just to go back to the service yesterday - the Elders did a little talk, one them is leaving shortly, to go home.. we laughed, because one of them used to go to Church as a child & steal the Sacrament cups !! See - the missionaries are human !! The other one - the one who is going home - said, that on his first few weeks of his mission, he tried to hand out a Church pamphlet to a man, who told him to "go home" - two years later, he would like to meet that man again & say "I did it - now I'm going home" !!
Anyways - I'm glad we went - hopefully it won't be several more weeks before we go back - puzzle or no puzzle !!
My plans today.... well, when I finish this, I'm going to watch a bit of TV & then - as I'm not expecting B back for a while, I might go & have a little sleep..... getting up sooooo early has not sat too well with this old body of mine !! So, I will away.... until next time...
Bye Bye
