Lynyrd Skynyrd

Hello Everybody - How has your morning been ?!

It's another wet & windy day here in England..... not very nice at all really !!  I'm staying in the house today, so.. the weather can go & do what it wants really !!

As I type, B is across the road - with the neighbour I mentioned a few times before.  She came into our home, for the first time, a few weeks back - since then, B has been going there.  It's nice to have a new 'friend' !!

At some point, this afternoon/evening, the police are coming over !!  Mainly to discuss the problems we're having with the NFH !!  That should be fun - if nothing else, we can find out for certain, if we are right or wrong - as far as the parking goes, that is !!

It's a lady police person, who is coming to see us.  Speaking to her on the telephone (last night)... well, she suggested we sat down (with our NFH) and try & sort something out !!  I can see where she is coming from, but - for me at least - it's gone beyond all that !!

Having a shout at me is one thing, having a shout (at 8.30am) at B is out of order.... add to that, having a go at ME & her boyfriend - well, that is completely out of order !!  But, having a shout at our friend on Sunday - well, as far as I'm concerned - she has lost the plot a bit !!  C (our friend) didn't deserve that - all he did was come & check up on me, to see how I was getting along.... he didn't deserve her mouth & posturing !!  As I say, she has lost the plot !!  We will see what the police lady has to say !!

All I really need to know, is about the parking situation. We have it in writing, from the highways department, that we are right - but, I need to hear it from the police.... just to confirm it all !!

I also have a plastic 'No Parking' sign, which if it's allowed, I can put up to try & stop people blocking her driveway, when they visit us.  I know I can't put it on our outside wall, as it's a public road - but, I should be able to put it on a post, in our driveway - just to "ask" people not to block the entrance to her house.  Mind you - it's never stopped her 'friends' blocking our little entrance - so, why I'm bothering is beyond me !

I'll see what the lady says & 'report' back to you, my readers... when I get chance.  Onwards.....

Taking of readers, my thanks to my American friends, for logging on today & reading my words !!  Plus, all the rest of you - for reading about my family & the music I play !!

The music of the moment is the first 3 Lynyrd Skynyrd albums.  I've put them all in one of the Cd decks & set the thing to shuffle.... it's a good listen, while I'm typing !!  It's quite funny - if it's a fast 'tune' - I type faster !!  I make more mistakes - but..... !!

I have also another 1969 Zeppelin concert, from April 25th.....  The tracks are:

1) The Train Kept A Rolling
2) You Shook Me
3) Communication Breakdown
4) As Long As I Have You

It's not a complete concert - but, it's worth having in the collection.  It's from the Winterland, in San Francisco & it's pretty good, given it's age & what have you !!  As always, don't buy bootlegs - buy the official stuff !!

B's popular today !!  Not only has she gone across the road, to visit - but, she has just had a phone call, from a lady in Church.... B is to phone her back, when she gets back ....... such a hectic 'social life' Ho-hum.

I was thinking about something - as the music played.  I know, it's dangerous, me thinking and what have you !!  But, I remember having a cassette of these 3 Skynyrd albums.  It was a 2 hour tape & all 3 of the albums fitted onto it....... I used to play it in my first (or second) car.  It came to my mind, mainly as, for some reason, the tape went missing from my car & I never found it again !!

Ok - I had the 3 Lp's... but I couldn't play them in the car... so, the tape was the next best thing !!  I always thought, one of the German lads (who I was working with at the time) had it... but, it was only a tape & not worth worrying about !!  I don't think I ever made another copy of the thing....... ah, for the days of tapes - 8 track & cassettes !!  "Those were the days".......

I must get them onto the thing we have now, so we can blast them in this car - I don't think B will mind too much.... we will see !!  It's got a beat, and you can dance to it... after all !!  Now, where have I heard that before ?!

Right, I must away.......  I've no big plans to do anything... but, I must away anyhoo !!  I will be back another time... until then....

Bye Bye
