Something new I guess !!

Well Hello & Greetings Everybody !!  How have your days been ?!

It's a cold & clear Wednesday night, here in England - it's meant to snow heavy tomorrow, so that could be fun !!  Hopefully it won't be toooooo bad !!  As it is, I've just waved B off - from the front door - & it's really "bitter" out there !!  I'm glad to say the house is nice & warm, so.... this is where I'm staying tonight !!

We did go into town earlier.... it was cold enough then, it feels worse now tho' !!  Never mind.......

As mentioned, B has just gone out..... to her mid-week gym class.  She will be home about 8.30 - just in time to watch the 'new' season of NCIS on the TV !!  Yippeeeee !! We are soooo far behind the times here - just getting season 8 !!  Never mind - we will enjoy it all the same....... it's one of our favourite shows - to the point where we have every season on DVD.  There are not that many shows we bother with (on DVD) but, NCIS is one of them & that's for sure !!

As for the other members of the family....... J is upstairs in his 'hole' & ME is sat a short distance from me, working on some Uni stuff.  How she does it, with the music blasting away, is beyond me - but, she stays down here, I think mainly as it's company for the both of us !!  It's probably warmer upstairs, but..... she is happier down here with me, bless her !!

As mentioned earlier - we went into town today..... such excitement !!  B had booked me in for an eye test.  I thought I was having problems, because I was poorly - a sort of knock on effect, from being low.  It turns out, according to the guy I saw today, I have a problem with the cornea of my right eye !!  Oh well - that's something new I guess !! 

I have to go to the hospital & see some kind of specialist about it....... I thought we would do better, this year, as far as hospitals were concerned !! You know, have the implant in November & start 2012 off on a clean slate !!  Boy, did that ever go by with the wind !!  At least it explains why I'm having problems with my sight....... it's not old age after all - well, it probably is, but what the heck..... it's all good folks !!  I will keep you posted !!

In the meantime, I have to have some new spec's....... which seems a waste, if the specialist guy does something to alter things after I've seen him !!  Why have new lens's now & then another new set in few months !!  The guy, I saw today, did say - if I need to change them again, they will not charge me..... that's kind of good of him - but, I'm going to think about it first !!  Onwards, ever onwards.........

I was looking at the Zeppelin collection & found another set from this day in 1975.  It's from Philadelphia & I  have the show on 2 Cd's... the tracks are, what became the standard 1975 USA tour set:

CD 1
1) Rock & Roll
2) Sick Again
3)  Over The Hills & Far Away
4) In My Time Of Dying
5) The Song Remains The Same
6) The Rain Song
7) Kashmir
8) No Quarter
9) Trampled Underfoot
CD 2
1) Moby Dick
2) Dazed & Confused
3) Stairway To Heaven
4) Whole Lotta Love
5) Black Dog
6) Heartbreaker

I don't know exactly when I picked up this show - but, I'm guessing it was one of the earliest I came across !! I have this old "A6" size book - just big enough to fit a pocket, in the butt of a pair of jeans..... I used to carry the book around with me - to record fairs - just to check & remind me - what shows I had & what have you.  Well, I started with one book & then that went to two.... now I'm on number 5 & that one is all but full !!

As this show is in book 2 - well, it means I've had it a long, long time........ as it is, I don't carry them around with me anymore !!  I know - more or less - what Zeppelin shows I have & that's about it !!  As always - don't buy bootlegs...... collect them if you want - but don't hand over cash for them !!

I forgot - the music of the moment is a UFO concert, from London.... many, many years ago !!  It was broadcast on the BBC & that's where this tape came from - I like it, it's a good show to listen to !!  Just one of many I have around the house... hee-hee !!

The plan tomorrow, I think, is to head back into town.... mainly to get some food shopping & maybe, just maybe, check out some frames, incase I decide to have new lens's.  I'm not sure if I will get any, but it won't hurt to have a look around !!  I know we have to pick up some foodstuff - mainly as we didn't bother today !!  Oh the joys of modern living !!  It's shame it all cost's sooooo much money to enjoy it !!

So, that's about it for tonight..... I want to go & sort myself out, ready for bed & what have you.  B will help me, when she gets home - but, I like to do as much as I can !!  So - until next time... thank's for reading !!

Bye Bye
