"Hello" Worlds !!

Well "Hello" Worlds.... !!

I hope you're all doing well, this fine evening ?  It's evening here in England - but to my USA reader, it's probably about lunch time & my Russian readers - well, I've no idea what time it is with you !!  But I thank you all for logging in today !!  Thank you for your time....

It's been a 'good' kind of day for me.  I had to see one of my Consultants this morning & she is very happy with my progress !!  She didn't really have an answer, as to why I've felt like c**p this past week.... but, that's not her department really... so, no problems there at least !!

I had hoped to come off some more of my pills & potions, but... well, she felt it best I stay as I am for anther month at least.  it's a pity, but... they are the Dr's - so I will follow what they tell me. as best I can !!  B went with me, as she always does, when I see one of my Dr's - if not, with my brain, I would forget what I'm
told !!  Oh well.... B will let me know anything I've forgotten over the coming days..... life is good !!

Talking of B - she has gone out for her evening class, at the gym & will be home in a couple of hours (I guess)... so, that leaves me here with J, who is in his Hobbit hole of a room.  ME is out with her boyfriend M & will be home much later.  She has an early shift tomorrow, so I hope she will be home & get some
sleep !!

She has to drive across the County, to get where she is working in the morning..... so, I hope she will get some rest !!  I don't feel so worried these days, since she got her new car !!  There was always the chance her old car would pack up on her - this new one seems to be a lot better for her.... plus, of course, she likes driving it !!

The music of the moment is a concert by Yes.... from their 2001 Amsterdam 'orchestral' concert.  The track I'm on at the moment is the 30 minute 'Ritual' - which has always been one of my favourites !!  I also like their 'The Revealing Science Of God'.... it's another 20+ minute track & That's on next !!  It's not from the same concert - but, what the heck - it's all music folks !!

B is not a great lover of Yes music.... that's not exactly true, she doesn't mind the music, she just doesn't like Jon Anderson's vocals !!  Which is a shame really - for me, he almost makes the band !!   It's a shame he & the band have fallen out.... again !!  Never mind........ onwards !!

I was pleased that another part of B's birthday present came today... Season 12 of 'ER'...... she seems to be enjoying watching them thru'..... I'm just glad there are so many seasons - it gives me time, before October, to get all of them !!  Plus - if I had bought a big box set, all of them in one go - she would of strung me up for spending so much in one go !!  This way - they might cost me more, but.... I can spread the cost !!  Ho-hum......

I'm a little spoilt for viewing at the moment.  I'm watching all of the 'Babylon 5' DVD's + I'm part ways thru' 'The Pacific' TV mini series, which I have on DVD as well - M gave them to me back a while... so, I'm really TV overdosed at the moment !!

Never mind - 'The Pacific' is upstairs & I watch that, when I'm in bed (which I seemed to be a lot these days) & 'Babylon 5' I can watch, when B is busy doing something else, downstairs !!  As I say - spoilt for choice at the moment !!

I remembered yesterday, that I still have a load of Lp's to record - for our friend in Church.... so, I sat down & worked my way thru' some more of them !!  I've now done the biggest part of them, but still have quite a few to go..... unfortunately there is no 'quick' way of doing them !!  If the Lp is an hour long, it takes an hour for me to record it !!  oh well - I don't mind.... I like the guy & his wife, so it's all good !!  It helps also, that I like some of the stuff I'm putting over to Cd for them.... that's a bonus really !!

J & I were talking earlier, about 'Fanfare For The Common Man' - by Aaron Copland.  he didn't realise the original was so short !!  Having heard me play the Emerson, Lake & Palmer version, over & over - he didn't realise it was only 2 minutes 47 seconds long...... well, the version I have is, anyway !!

I mention this in passing as I've given up on Yes & am now playing Copland's 'Appalachian Spring' - which I have loved for yeas & years, since I first heard of it at school !!  It's a great piece of music...... & tomorrow, if I'm lucky, B will bring home a Lp I have of it, from her Dad's.  He has had it on 'loan' for far too many years & I think it's time to get it back - if he still has it !!  He does have a tendency to sell things..... hopefully, he hasn't sold the album !!

The reason I might get it back tomorrow, is because B is going up to see her Aunt & put some flowers on her Mum's grave.  It's their birthday tomorrow & B wants to make the trip up, to say hello to G !!  As you can guess - B's Mum & Aunt are twins........ so.... B is making the trip.  Hopefully, she will pop in & see her Dad as well & pick up the Lp on her way !!  I hope he still has it....... !!  I will let you know !!

Right - my plans for tonight are to kick back & listen to some more music........ sounds like a plan to me.  I still don't have any Zeppelin concerts for today - but, there are some more soon !!  Especially from the Earls Court concerts, in 1975..... that's for another day
tho' !!

For now - I will away.... until next time...

Bye Bye
