Well, it's another Tuesday here in England & I'm completely blown away by the numbers of you who have logged on this past week !! From America, thru' Europe & Russia... right over as far as Japan & beyond !! It's amazing... well, to me it is at least & I'm not that easily "blown away" - I'm really not !! I thank you all for your time & for reading my words !!
Right - it's a Tuesday evening here in England... the Sun has been out all day & it has been a very hectic day all around for your's truly !! Starting with last evening.... I finished the post off quite quickly yesterday & that was mainly down to a phone call I had reach me.
I had been into the hospital, last Thursday - and I had hoped to have surgery on Friday. That didn't happen, which we didn't worry to much about......... but, yesterday, I had a call to see if I could go in tomorrow. So, today - B drove me into Taunton for a quick check up & tomorrow (Wednesday) I'm back in !! "Yippee" !!
Now, I'm not that excited about having another surgery - but, I hope that - this time - they will get it right & sort out the blooming implant !! The thing has been in since November (check old posts) & it still isn't working - so, if all goes well it will be fixed in the morning !! Here's hoping !!
I have to go in at 8am - meaning I have to leave home about 7am - and if all goes well, I will be allowed home tomorrow night !! Again - here' hoping !! Anyhooooo - it will be good to get it over with... B thought I would be waiting months !! I will keep you up to date on how things go !! I hope all will go well... I'm not looking forward to the pain & the blooming stitches, but.....!! Onwards.......... ever onwards !!
As I type - J is behind me doing the dishes, ME is sat a little ways away, watching 'Pointless' (her favourite TV programme at the moment)... B has gone out to 'weight-watchers' & will be home in a couple of hours, which leaves me here typing !! I'm going to have a quiet evening.... just resting up & - as soon as the TV is switched off - the music will be blasting it's way around the homestead !! That will be in about 40 minutes or so....... again "Yippeeee" !!
I was playing the soundtrack to some of the 'Woodstock' DVD's this afternoon.... that was good, as I had forgotten most of them !! It wasn't the movie soundtrack, just the 'extra' tracks from the DVD that came out 3 years or so ago..... as I do, I had transferred them over to Cd & that's what I was playing. There is a good Grateful Dead track on there - 'Turn On Your Love Light' - and it bops along nicely for about 30 minutes !! I will never get to see any of the band play live, but I really like their live recordings !! Talking of live recordings.....
..... on this day, March 6th 1973, Led Zeppelin did a show in Stockholm. I've had a copy of it for soooo long, I can't remember when I picked it up - but, anyhow.. the tracks are:
CD 1
1) Rock & Roll
2) Over The Hills & Far Away
3) Black Dog
4) Misty Mountain Hop
5) Since I've Been Loving You
6) Dancing Days
7) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
8) The Song Remains The Same
9) The Rain Song
CD 2
1) Dazed & Confused
2) Stairway To Heaven
Cd 3
1) Whole Lotta Love
2) Heartbreaker
3) The Ocean
I like this show... I always have !! It still amazes me how people were able to sneak recording gear into the shows & then get an almost complete recording of the entire set !! Having been to Zeppelin shows, the 'security' was always tight, so...... 2 things about the show.... it was (I think) the 3rd show of the 1973 European tour + it was the first time, I've heard the 5th album called 'Houses Of The Holy'. Up until then, it was always called 'Led Zeppelin 5' As always - don't buy bootlegs !! Onwards & onwards........
Right, my plans tonight.... none at all !! I have to tidy up this stupid table of mine.... I can hardly see it under the piles of junk !! I did a 2 Cd set for B, for our anniversary, yesterday & I've not put the various source Cd's away yet !! I won't have time tonight, but I can put them neatly to one side, if nothing else !! I won't be doing anything with them tomorrow & that's for sure !!
I used to enjoy doing 'mix-tapes'..... now, it's fun to do Cd's instead !! I will have to tidy them tho'........
But - even doing that, I will have a bit of an early night........ getting up sooooo early tomorrow, well - I will need my beauty sleep & that's for sure !! I think B will be getting me out of bed about 6am & I'm not looking forward to that wake up call !! Oh well....... what will be , will be !! I'm going to be sleeping well tomorrow & I can't argue about that...........
So - that's about it for now. I'm not sure when I'll be posting again... but.... I will be back !! Until next time... as the Allman's 'In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed' plays quietly in the background............
Bye Bye
