Tyler Woolley & Our Neighbour P.

Well "Hi" everybody - how has your day gone ?!

My thoughts & prayers tonight, go to 2 people & their families.

First, to the family of Tyler Wooley, who - it seems - lost his life in the boating accident, in Oklahoma.  I wrote a little about it yesterday (I think) and I've read a lot about him today...... at 19, it's such a pity he has lost his life.

Secondly - for our neighbour P..... he is one of the nicest people you could come across & today he was here, in the house with us, really upset.  His wife of 5 years is leaving him, on Saturday.  He is totally gutted by it !!  He is not the NFH, but I thought he was coming to talk about them - but, he came over today, to tell us. We could tell things were not right...... so, he is in our thoughts & prayers.

Having been thru' a similar problem, myself (many moons ago)... well, I know what he is going thru' & we will help in anyway we can.... including looking after Murphy, their dog - who it seems might come out of all of this the worst !!

Anyways...... that has been my day - a bit of a bummer really, but not for reasons connected to us, just a feeling of "Why?" and everything that goes with it all !!  So, our thoughts & prayers to all....

As for the family.... well, as I type ME is here beside me (watching TV) and eating chocolate...... she is going out to meet up with M (her boyfriend) in a little while  J is upstairs, probably on his computer & My Wife & Dearest Friend, B has gone out to a gym class thingy.  I'm not sure if it's a class, but she has gone out anyways, she says she needs to lose the weight, so...... it's up to her, as long as she is happy !!

I've spent quite a bit of the day recording Lp's for our friends, in Church.  I e-mailed them, to ask which ones I had already given them & it turns out I had done more than I expected !!  I only have 4 more to record !!   That was a surprise, as I didn't realise I had done so many !!  Oh well - I will try & do them by this weekend, in the hope we can go to Church on Sunday.  If we do, I can give them the Cd's & Lp's while we're there !!

The music of the moment is 'Yessongs' by Yes...... their 1973 'live' album.  when it came out - on 3 Lp's - I remember getting it & enjoying every second of it !!  It still plays quite nicely, on the ears.... even tho' I now have it on Cd..... it's still a good listen !!

When it came out, there was a lot of comparison with the 'live' set ELP had released....... I think mainly as both were 3 Lp sets.  I'm not sure which one I prefer - they both stand alone, on their own merits.... but..... for now, it's Yes that are winning !!

As for Led Zeppelin concerts, I only have the one & - in a way - I've covered that already, writing about the Earls Court concerts, the other night.... so, I won't bother giving a track listing - just read what I wrote then & go from there.  It's all good & some of my favourite concerts are from the 5 nights they played, at Earls Court, in 1975.  Oh well..... more another time !!

Ok - what's next.... well, I was expecting a phone call at 6pm.  I mentioned the problems I had yesterday, from somebody telling me I owed them money & hadn't paid etc etc.... well, they were going to call me today, at 6pm, to go thru' it all again !!  As they haven't called, I can only guess that they realise we were right, they were wrong & everything is Ok with their little World !!  It's a shame they had to go & spoil my day yesterday.... everything was going so well, until they 'phoned !! Bu***r them all I say !!  Onwards, ever onwards......

Oh yes - Earth shattering news... I had a new watch reach me today - only 5 months late !!  B gave me a 'membership' to 'Time' magazine, at the end of last year - starting in January..... the cost was only £20 & it came with a free watch, so B went for it.  Today, the watch reached me.... as I say, only 5 months late !!  I've enjoyed the mag's... but, I won't be renewing them, it cost a lot more than £20 to keep the thing coming & that's money I'm not going to spend !!  The watch is better than I expected tho'.... I thought it would be a cheap plastic thing, but... it's pretty good really - for a freebie, so I'm happy with it !!

I've also found a story about Gregg Allman... it seems he was on TV in America a little while ago (maybe today) & I must read up on that, when I get chance.  As I wrote to Lady V ("HI") earlier, I hope his book sells well, he is such an interesting person & has had a very varied life, over his 60+ years !!  Maybe I'll save my penny's & buy a copy when I see it in town, or where-ever.... tho' - "that does mean reading" !!  Old family joke there folks - too old & long to go into tonight !!

Right, I better think about closing for tonight...... it's not late or anything, but - I need to get my beauty
sleep !!  So for now, I will away - my thanks to all of you for reading.... until next time....

Bye Bye
