I was just reading this weeks (February 13th) 'Time' - it seems like there is some nasty work going on in Senegal !! President Abdoulaye Wade is meant to stand down at the election, this month. However, a court in the country, has decided he can stand for a third time - even tho' the constitution states a President can only stand for two terms !! If that is not bad enough, the same court has barred three opposition candidates - including Youssou N'Dour !! That has to be a fix !! Honestly - I thought our politics were a bit suspicious.... but, come on !! Oh well - that's my rant over for this evening !!
So - Worlds... how are you today ?! It's blooming cold (still) here, outside the homestead. I lit the fire a few hours ago, so that has warmed the whole place up.... plus, I've had the heating on for the last hour & that has really warmed things up !! It seemed a shame to put it on - as J & myself are the only people here tonight !!
But - I went upstairs a little while ago & it was cold in our room, so.... on went the heating !!
ME has gone out with her boyfriend tonight & won't be home until tomorrow, after she has been up to Uni for an hour or so...... & B, well - being a Tuesday, it's a weight watchers night. I think, after that - she is going to a gym class for an hour - meaning I'll be here alone for the next few hours !! Oh well... it means the music will be up a little louder, I guess !!
The music of the moment is Sinead O'Connor's 'Live In Dublin 2002' Cd. I've had a real O'Connor day !! I think I've played 6 albums by her !! Don't ask why - I started this morning & just kept going..... it's been different !! She is not a person I play too often !! I think I'll give up after this album tho' - mainly to give the amp time to cool off a bit !! I have no Led Zeppelin shows from February 7th - so, I'll skip that tonight......
I had to go down the village this morning, to see my local Dr...... things are dragging to a halt at the moment !! Until the implant surgery is "re-done" - he is unwilling to alter my drugs !! The same as the Consultant I saw on Friday..... so, until the other Consultant sorts out a new date, things will just keep going as they are !! I really hope, once it's all done again, I will be able to get off some of my pills & potions - but, that will out of my hands !! We will have to wait & see how things go..... it is dragging a bit tho' !!
There was a nice surprise.... as I was waiting to see my Dr. One of my old lecturers came into the waiting room & we had a good natter about how things have gone, for the three of us. I never really enjoyed his lectures (no sense of humour) but - as a guy - he is a pretty good "bloke" to speak to. He was sorry to hear how our situation has gone - but, I'm glad to say his career has taken off, big time & is now working for our 'Health Service' in some form or another. He's doing well for himself !! Re-married & happy.... so, that's good !! Our kids are all the same age - they went to the same school & know each other.... it's good to know things have gone well for him & his wife !!
Tomorrow, I have to go to have my eyes checked over...... that was a surprise, as I'm not due to have an appointment for at least another 6 months !! However - my eyesight has really gone down hill over the last year & it's got to the point where B has decided to book me in !! I must admit - I am struggling to see things - but, I put it all down to feeling under the weather, hopefully that's all it is !! We will know in the morning !!
I've not been to town very much over the last week or so - if the weather is dry, it will be good to get out again !! We will see how things go !!
Also - on Saturday - ME might be working in Weston, so we're thinking about going up there for a ride, to see how she is getting on. I think it's the first time she has been in that shop, so it would be good to pop in & say hello !!
If all goes well, she'll be changing jobs soon. She is hoping to move on - to do something, more in line, with her studies. The shop work has been good - it's given her a job & money, while she has been at Uni.... but, it's time for a change. Hopefully it will all work out for her & things will move on !! I'll keep you posted !!
I'm not 100% what else we're going to do this last few days of the week. I know about the trip, into town tomorrow, but I've forgotten what else we're going to be doing !! I'm guessing we'll pay some bills & do some shopping.... the 'normal' sort of stuff !! No matter what bills you pay, there is always one to take it's place !! I'm thinking that's the same for everybody tho'........
Oh yes....Last night - I printed out my Allman Brothers list...... that is to say, the 'Instant Live' Cd's I have by the band. I'm glad I did !! I've been looking at the web site & thinking which shows would be good, to add to the collection & I found three that I already have !! I had already found a couple I didn't think about... ones that I have here... so, to find three more was a bit of a shock really !!
It would not of been good to order some more shows & find they were here all along !! B would of really, really been a little upset with me had I done that !! How she puts up with me & my Cd's I don't know.... but, she does - so, I'm not going to complain about it !! Hee-hee....... I've just had a thought... if we go up to Weston, there is a Cd shop there !! Hopefully, B will let me go in & have a little look around !! We will have to see !! It would be a real shame, to go all that way & not look in some of the shops...... !! I will let you know how we get on....... as I say, "Hee-hee" !!
Anyhoooo, that's on the weekend. Tonight, as I'm here on my own some (not including J)... well, I'm going to have an early night - maybe read a book, before going to sleep. I've a few pages of 'Skydog' to read, so that sounds like a plan !! I'll set the recorder to do some shows that are on later & just kick back !! Hopefully, I'll still be awake when B gets here !!
I really must get myself a new keyboard !! As I type, various letters stick & I land up doing rows of 'A's & 'F's & what have you !! As I don't really watch the computer screen as I type, it means - when I look up - I find loads of mistakes, all over the place !! A new board is only a couple of £'s - so, I'll try & get one soon.
I wish I could type, like ME... she just watches TV, or something else & her fingers just know exactly where the various 'keys' are.... me, there is no way I can do that !! I'm strictly a two finger typist !! I stick with what I know - it's not quick - or pretty - but, it works for me !!
Oh well - I must away for tonight. It's pushing towards 7pm & I need to sort myself out a bit, before heading up the stairs !! 7pm & I'm thinking about bed - such an exciting life I have !! Until next time....
Bye Bye
