The NFH & The Exciting Weekend !!

Greetings Worlds Of Internet Space !!

I really hope it's dry where ever you are today - it's very wet & cold here in England !!  I've just had to go out side to help B - the car wouldn't start.... mainly as it hasn't been started for a few days & the damp has got in under the engine.  It's all good now - she is on her ways !!

Today - April 23rd - is Saint George's & 'Independence Day'.  If you check my previous years post, for this day, you will see - in the main - I do not write too much.  I 'celebrate' Independence Day' very quietly.... not this year tho' !!  It's been such an exciting weekend - I couldn't resist writing about it !!

In a nutshell, our "neighbour from hell" (NFH) seems to have lost the plot completely !!  Yesterday - she "took on" our friend C - who happens to be over 6 feet tall - about how he was parked.... with a hedge cutter (thing) in her hand.  I can only guess it was meant to be used in/as a threat.  C is not easily intimidated & just stood his ground !!  Good for him, I say !!

Earlier in the day - for whatever reason, best known only to her - she was out in the street, taking photograph's of our cars !!  Why, I have no idea..... I'm guessing it has something to do with how ME is parking her car, behind us.

I have a large 'disabled' parking bay & ME puts her car at the back end of that.... mainly as it won't fit up our little drive.  Her old car used to, but the new one is simply too big to fit !!  So, we think, the NFH took photo's to send off to somebody, in some form of complaint..... we really don't know !!

What we do know, however, is that according to the current laws of the land - ME is within her rights to park there & the NFH is completely out of order !!  We have had an e-mail from one of our friends, who is B's cousin' and works in the Highways Dept, this morning.  Officially, we are well within our rights to park as we are - so the NFH can go & take as many photo's as she likes !!  Ho-hum........

As this has "upset" me a bit - I've been in contact with our local police people & have asked them to come out & pay a visit....... that way, I hope, we can confirm what we're doing is 'right' and let things go at that.

To be honest - if ME had gone out & had been approached by the NFH, with a hedge cutter - I would have called 999 and got the police out here right away...... They is no way my 4 feet 11 inch Daughter is going to be 'threatened' like that !!  As I wrote above - C is way over 6 feet & just took it as a big load of b*lls**t - he does not "suffer fools gladly" !!

Oh well - it's all been a little bit of excitement.... I will now wait for the police to come out (I've told them it's not urgent) at some point & we will see how things go, from there !!  Time will tell, I guess... onwards !!

Right - it's a Monday... it pouring with rain, J is upstairs, ME is on Uni placement and B - as mentioned - has gone out.  She is going into the bank, then on to the shops for a top up of foodstuffs, followed by a quick trip into the gym.  I'm guessing she will be home about 3pm or so - it depends on how things go, I guess.  never mind - I'll see her when she gets back later !!

The weekend wasn't so good for me.....  I wasn't very well on Thursday night & that followed thru' until Saturday.  I did go into ASDA with B, on Saturday... but I did struggle a bit with the number of people that were there.  Anyhoo - it all went reasonably well & we decided on Saturday evening to try & go to Church Sunday.

That went out the window, however, when C showed up just as we were getting ready to go out.  We didn't feel we could just walk out on him, he only visits every couple of months now... so - we decided we would stay home and 'entertain' for the day.  With the NFH, it certainly was that - entertaining !!

B has just phoned, the car has made it into town, with no problems... so, I'm guessing it really was just cold & damp.  I've suggested, if it plays up any more (on the way home) she should pop in the garage & get some new plugs put in.  She'll see how it goes I guess !!

Anyways - that was our exciting weekend....We missed Church, but - I've e-mailed the Bishop, to say a "sorry".... there will be another Sunday !!  Or, at least, I hope there will be !!

The music of the moment is a a 3 Cd set, from Led Zeppelin's Atlanta concert, on this day in 1977.  I know, another American 1977 concert - but... I really like this tour !!  The tracks are:

CD 1

1) The Song Remains The Same
2) The Rover (Intro)/Sick Again
3) Nobody's Fault But Mine
4) In My Time Of Dying
5) Since I've Been Loving You
6) No Quarter

CD 2

1) Ten Years Gone
2) The Battle Of Evermore
3) Going To California
4) Black Country Woman/Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
5) White Summer/Black Mountain Side
6) Kashmir

CD 3

1) Out On The Tiles (Intro)/Moby Dick
2) Guitar Solo/Achilles Last Stand
3) Stairway To Heaven
4) Rock & Roll
5) Trampled Underfoot

It's not quite a complete concert - there are a few gaps in the recording... but, it's all good and, for me, worth having in my collection.  Which, B & I have decided, needs sorting out quite a bit !!  Cd's are now in the wrong boxes & hard to find.... so, I need to sort them out for her.  That means that she will know what's what, when I eventually pop my clogs !!  A friend is coming down to help her go thru' stuff - but, that won't help if things can't be found !!  As always, don't buy bootlegs - buy & enjoy the official stuff !!

The Allman Brothers played the Fair Oak 'Wanee' festival (I'm not exactly sure what it's called) over the weekend.... as I have all the shows that they have played there over the last few years, I will be sticking an order in for those !!  If you are reading these words Lady V - we hope the days were not too long & the music was good !!  Onwards.......

As it's wet outside - our 3 cats are leaving 'muddy' paw prints all over the place !!  It's the little girl, who seems to be the main culprit !! She is now on our bed (on a cat cover) purring her head off !!  But, between the front door & the bed, there is a trail of prints !!  I don't think I need to DNA them - she is guilty & she knows it !!  Oh well - it could be worse - we might have 4 cats, instead of the 3 !!

I'm still not 100% happy with the way Google has done this 'new' Blogger page !!  It's Ok - just sooooo much more complicated than the old one.  Well, to me it is - but, what do I know - I'm just an old idiot, who gets confused over switching the computer on !!

I know my posts are being published & I thank my Russian reader for logging on today !!  "Hello" to you, I thank you for your time !!  I think I would of understood the changes better, had I known they were going to happen..... are you listening Google ?! Never mind - onwards, ever onwards !!

Anyhoo - the plans for today are quite simple.... stay in the house, listen to Cd's & try & read a book.  I know, "that means reading" - but.... I don't think there is very much on the TV today - no films or anything, so...... it's the best of a bad lot really !!

So - I will away & get back to you all another time.... until then....

Bye Bye
