It's a special day in the homestead !! Not only is it the 60th year - to the day - that our Queen took over, but it is also 23 years to the day that our Son, J, came into the World !! On this day in 1989 he became a part of our lives !! As I type, he is a few feet to my left, trying to put together a "build your own roller coaster" set we bought him.... just for fun !! We used to buy him these big 'Lego' kits - you know, the ones that turn into big spacecraft & stuff !! Well, he's a little too old for them now - so, just for fun, we picked up this roller coaster thing........ he's been working on it for over an hour & still going strong !! Onwards.....
ME is also sat here with us - she got a bit fed up, upstairs on her own - so... she is here with us now. I've just lit the fire, so hopefully it will warm up a bit... in a little while at least !! It's not soooooo cold today - but, a nice fire is great to sit in front of !!
So that's our Son & Daughter... as for My Wife & Dearest Friend, well - she has gone into town, to pay a bill, get some shopping & go to the gym for her daily "work-out" !! She'll be home in a hour or so, I guess !?! Again... onwards !!
My plan today is to just sit here & rest up..... I have had a really crap few days (again!!) & I'm feeling very fed up with myself & this rubbish body of mine !! It seems like - every time I plan on doing something - like going to Church - yesterday - my body says "No way" & I wake up late, or worse still - fail to get much sleep the night before !! So - once again, we missed Church !! Everything was ready - clothes, car - the lot... but, my body just let me down & we didn't make it !! I was really on a high, after seeing my Consultant on Friday - but, come Saturday..... well, it all fell apart again !! Maybe next weekend - we'll see how I am, I guess......
The music of the moment is Jimi Hendrix - live at the Isle Of Wight festival in 1970. It's the 'Blue Wild Angel' 2 Cd set that came out quite a few years ago now. I was looking for something different to play & this was it !! I was going to play some more Allman Brothers, but.... went for Hendrix instead !! Maybe I'll play an Allmans set after this......
As for the Led Zeppelin collection - well, it's February 6th & in 1975, they played a great concert in Montreal, Canada..... I've had soooo many copies of this show !! Going way back, I had it on 2 cassettes & then a 2 Lp set (the same recording as the tapes).... then as Cd's came into the bootleg World - well, I then got a copy - still the same tape - on Cd. But, much later - a 3 cd set came out - with more or less the complete show on it & that's the one I'm listing below.

1) Introduction
2) Rock & Roll
3) Sick Again
4) Over The Hills & Far Away
5) In My Time Of Dying
6) The Song Remains The Same
7) The Rain Song
8) Kashmir

2) Trampled Underfoot
3) Moby Dick
CD 3

2) Stairway To Heaven
3) Whole Lotta Love
4) Black Dog
5) Heartbreaker
I've always loved this show - it was one of those tapes that, as a collector, you had to have !! I think it was called 'World Tour 1975' when it first came out - but, it's had several name changes over the years !! That's always been a problem with Zeppelin bootlegs - and other bands as well, I guess - are the name changes !! I usually just go by the dates.... it's toooo easy to pick up something, just because the name is 'new' !! Oh well - as always - don't buy bootlegs !!
If all goes well - later this week - I'm ordering up some older Allman's shows..... from the 2005 tour. I'm not sure exactly what dates yet.... but... I'll enjoy sorting thru' them !!
As for today... well, as it's J's birthday - we're having a 'special' tea/supper. Nothing too exciting, just a KFC !! We always give them what they want on their birthdays & KFC is always a favourite !! Always has been - ever since they were very young !! It's only chicken, but.... it's just a little different than normal !! We don't have too often - but, it's a special day, so why not ?!
ME's boyfriend came over for tea, last night & B cooked up roast for everyone.... it went down really well !! It always does - when B roasts the spuds & stuff.... there is never very much left over !! The guys seem to enjoy it anyhoo !!
I must away - I have to go back to bed for a while.... once again, my body is giving out on me !! I really should of gone for a trade in !! B always said she was going to trade me, for two younger models - but, I'm glad to say, she stuck with me.... even if I am, falling apart !! Oh well - until next time..
Bye Bye
