Well"Hello" Everybody.....
You know, there are certain things I will probably always remember.... I expect I'm not alone in that. Something happens & from time to time, you are reminded of it. To explain - I'm listening to Linkin' Park's 'Live In Texas' Cd, as I type, - I remember, quite a few years back... playing this same Cd & ME "flying" down the stairs to ask who it was !!
It was probably the first time she had ever heard LP & I think she was not only surprised by good it was - but, she also couldn't get over the fact that her old Dad could have such a good Cd in his collection !! Mind you - now, a few years on - she has got quite used to what I play !! Ain't life grand ?
Well - it's a Saturday, here in England.... it's not been a good day !! I had really hoped to be well enough to go down to the Exeter record fair... but, as yesterday went on, I got worse & worse (health wise) and that meant today I couldn't go - I wasn't able to make the trip. Never mind - B would of taken me, had all gone well..... so I can work on getting to the next one.... at the end of June !! Ho-hum...... as it was - I didn't manage to get out of bed until about 1 or 2pm......... such a lazy so & so I am !!
Anyhoo - being a Saturday, B has just gone into town to do a bit of shopping. We would of gone earlier, but...... as it was, B & ME went down to the village May Fair. It doesn't appeal to me that much anyways, so I didn't miss anything, as far as I was concerned. I could hear a marching band going up & down the main street, which - when all I wanted to do was sleep - was a pain !! Oh well - at least it stayed dry !!
I can look right out across to the beach today & that's been covered in cloud & mist for most of the last week !! I think the tide must be out at the moment - the water isn't looking too bright.... which it does (from here) when the tide is in !! I can't imagine there are too many people down there today.... too cold !!
Tho' - it is a holiday weekend...... a 3 day break for May Day. The roads have been getting a little more hectic, as people head down this way, for a short break. We live here & love getting away from the place - why people want to head this way is beyond most of the locals !! It was a bit mad - on the roads yesterday.....
.... I had to go into the hospital. As mentioned on Thursday, I had to go & see the Consultant about going 'blind' (I don't know what else to call it) in my right eye. I have to go back in 6 months, to see how things have gone........ in the meantime, I have to keep putting drops in 4 times a day & some lotion, type stuff, in just before bed time. Great stuff !!
He - the Consultant - says my eyes are in good condition.... and there is little he can do, except give me the drops & lotion, mentioned above. He feels it's all connected with my health problems anyways. Which is kind of weird.... but, understandable, when put into context. Never mind - he says he can operate, on the eye..... but, it isn't worth doing until I'm completely blind (in that eye).... which kind of sucks !! It's just one more thing to add to the list of things that can go wrong & have gone wrong with this old body of mine !!
Today is 'FA Cup Final' day here in England.... Liverpool & Chelsea are at Wembley Stadium to fight for the honours !! I am not a big football fan - but, I do watch the 'final' when I get chance. This year, M's (ME's boyfriend) team are playing, so.... I hope they win !! Mind you - if Chelsea win, I can always rub it in a bit, when he's next here !! We will see how things go - it starts at 5.15pm..... time will tell, I guess !!
Talking of ME - she is working today, in town as it turns out - so, she had chance of an extra sleep this morning..... which she needed !! J is here some place, upstairs on his computer I guess. Having been in bed for most of the day, I've not seen too much of him. Oh well - with B out.... that leaves me here in the living room, all on my ownsome !! With Linkin' Park to keep me company !!
I have another Led Zeppelin concert.... recorded on May 5th 1973, very near the start of the American tour that year. The tacks are:
CD 1
1) Rock & Roll
2) Celebration Day
3) Black dog
4) Over The Hills & Far Away
5) Misty Mountain Hop
6) Since I've Been Loving You
7) No Quarter
8) The Song remains The Same
9) The Rain Song
CD 2
1) Dazed & Confused
2) Stairway To Heaven
3) Moby Dick
4) Whole Lotta Love
5) The Ocean
6) Communication Breakdown
If any of you were at the Zeppelin re-union concert, in 2007... well, they played a news report, about this concert, at the start of the show. I mentioned how the band broke the audience attendance record - at their 1977 Pontiac show. Well, this concert - 2 years earlier - broke the then attendance record, by getting some 56,800 people thru' the doors !! It's a good show... but, as always - don't buy bootlegs !! More another time...... onwards !!
Anyhoo, it's just coming up on 5pm - so, I best think about being on my way for today. I have nothing special to do tonight, but - I need my beauty sleep.... and to watch the football on TV... so I will away for today. Linkin' Park are still going strong in the background & Boris beat Ken in the London Mayor election..... life is good. Until next time... thanks for reading !!
Bye Bye
