Life Is Good !!

Well  "Hello" Worlds - How you are doing this fine morning ?!

I've just come back from my Dr's (here in the village) and all seems to be going "Ok" !!  Things will never be perfect, but - for now, things are going in the right direction !!  I'm even coming off some more of my pills & potions !!  Not much - but, it all helps !!

I'm here typing this on my own - at the moment.... B has just gone out to go 'home teaching' with a lady from Church, ME is at Uni placement & - as yet - I don't think J is out of bed !!  Mind you - the Cd player has just been turned on, so that should wake him up a bit !!

The music of the moment is another 'live' Zeppelin concert.... which I will write about either tomorrow, or the day after..... I'll see how things goes !!  Onwards......

The 'big' news of the day.... is (drum roll) we are in the right, as far as the NFH is concerned !!  I will explain..

Last night, our local police lady came around & we talked about what has been happening here - in particular, how we felt we were being  treated by the NFH.  Luckily, we were all here - so, each of us were able to tell her, from our own prospective, what it's been like.  The police lady was not a happy bunny !!

When she heard about Sunday & how our friend had been threatened/treated/shouted at - well.... she was even more amazed !!  We showed her where we park the two cars - and as expected, we are within the law, to park them there.... no matter what our neighbour thinks !!  So - that was good.... plus, we have a little no parking sign & we can put that up, to kind of ask people not to block the entrance area !!

As I said to her - we can't enforce where people park, but by putting up the sign, we have shown that we don't want them blocking the area.  We've done our bit, to stop people blocking her entrance - beyond that, we can do no more !!  She thought that was a good idea.....

She also gave us her personal card - so that if the NFH does start threatening or shouting at us, or people who are here to visit us, we can call her number & she will get some one out here to deal with the problem !!

One thing ME was happy about - if the NFH has a go at her & she feels threatened by her, we can call the police emergency number 999 and get immediate help !!  That's a big help to ME - being only 4 feet 11 inches tall (or there about) the NFH is very intimidating to her - so, it's great to know we have 'back up' !!

It's crazy really - the lady thinks she owns the place.... we know she doesn't !!  It's our "World" not her own private domain !!  She has to accept that we live in the Close as well !!

When we came back from the Dr's just now - our other neighbour was just getting into his car... as we parked, he smiled and said "back a bit".... knowing full well what we have had to put up with !!  Onwards !!

J has made an appearance - I knew the music would wake him up !!

ME is getting a little fed up with some of her Uni 'friends'....... they keep asking her the answers to various questions - I'm guessing to do with their own work.  They know that she (ME) has finished and handed in all her papers now & they keep pestering her, for help, to finish their own work !!  She is getting a little mad about it all.  As ME says, she had to work it all out for herself, they must do the same !!

Mind you - now she has done all of work.... she is wondering what to do with herself in the evenings !!  She has worked long & hard, to finish all of her assignments... now, with no more to do - she has the evenings spare !!  Good for her, I say.... she has done really well !!  I think M (her boyfriend) is coming over tonight - so, that will cheer her up a bit !!

I was looking for another Led Zeppelin concert, for today.... the only one I found easily, is another Winterland, San Francisco, 1969 show.... so, that's the one for today.  The tracks are:

CD 1

1) Communication Breakdown
2) I Can't Quit You
3) Dazed & Confused
4) You Shook Me
5) How Many More Times

CD 2

1) White Summer
2) Killing Floor
3) Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You
4) Pat's Delight
5) As Long As I Have You
6) Whole Lotta Love

In a way, this is 2 concerts, on one night..... it's just 2 sets they did - with a break in the middle.  It is a good show tho' !!  As always, don't buy bootlegs !!  More another day...

One big bit of good news.... we heard yesterday, from Lady V, that the tea bags had reached Atlanta !!  We were really getting worried about them - if they had got lost in the post, or had attracted too much notice with the customs officials.  After all, sending a couple hundred tea bags in the post - well, it must of looked interesting if they X-rayed the parcel !!  Never mind - they got there & that's the main thing.

So - sit back Lady V - have a rest, put your feet up and have a brew !!  We hope J & your good self got the photo's & the Cd........ they were in there some place !!

My plans for today... well, there is a TV programme on I want to record, I still have a book to try & read thru'.... but, all in all - it's going to be a quiet day in the homestead !!  Not only quiet, but also a little more relaxed - especially now we know the NFH is completely out of order !!  Life is good... until next time...

Bye Bye
