Well "Hello" Worlds !!
It's a fantastic Friday here in England.... well, in our part of it at least. The Sun is out, the sky is blue & what bit of cloud there is - well, it's white & puffy. A really great day !!
As I type - ME is upstairs, going thru' her room - giving it her once a year tidy up !! J is here about as well - in his room, on the computer. I think they are both having a quiet kind of day. ME because she starts her new job on Monday - so, she is having a quiet weekend & just chilling out, getting a few last days of freedom. J - well, he is having a quiet time as well - he's been helping out a lot this week - so, he deserves a break !!
As for B - she has gone across the close to our neighbour's. The lady is having a bad day - so, B has gone over to help her out a bit. I think the neighbour is having visitors or something & that's freaked her out a little - so, B has gone over to just help, in any way she can.
Anyhoo - that just leaves me here. The music of the moment is Pink Floyd's 'Live At Hollywood Bowl' concert from 1972. Ok - it's a bootleg.... but, until the band releases it officially, it's all I've got !! I didn't buy it..... so.....
As mentioned a day or 2 back - I had a bit of a bad day, with the guy at ASDA. I wrote a complaint to the head office & very much to my surprise, I actually had a reply yesterday !! Anyway - I had to write about what happened... & now, I guess, nothing will be done about
it !! I will have to wait & see.... but, I'm not holding my breath over the whole thing. After all, I'm just a little customer - they don't need me to make a profit !!
We can use the other supermarkets in the town...... we don't need to go to ASDA. Oh well....
Yesterday was spend, for the most part, in the hospital. I think I may have upset a few other patients !! To explain, as it was so hot - I was allowed, with B, to go into one of the private offices to cool off, by the open window. Because I go into the place so often, they know me & can me by my first name - so, while others were sat there... the nurse saying ..."would you like to come in here, it's cooler"... well, it got a few looks, as you can imagine !! Never mind.
I saw my Consultant - well, Ed, his underling (but still a great guy) and he altered the implant settings. He said that should help - but, I have to go back in 6 weeks....... Hopefully then it will be sorted !! As it is - I have to see another Consultant in August... maybe, if they could be kind to me - they could see me on the same day !! Yes - like that's going to happen !!
Whatever happens, yesterday was a hot & tiring day... so, apart from sending an e-mail or 2 last night, I didn't bother to do a post. B gave me my meds last night, and as I was really "out of it" - she gave me a little extra sleeping "potion" & I slept like a log all thru' until about 10am this morning !! Great stuff !!
It seems that I did get up a few times - in the night - but, I don't remember any of that... so, it was a good night's sleep !!
I have another Zeppelin concert, from July 27th 1973. It's only part of a concert, from New York - but, it's a soundboard recording & worth having in the collection !! The tracks are:
1) Stairway To Heaven
2) Moby Dick
3) Heartbreaker
4) Whole Lotta Love
5) The Ocean
It's just the last bit of the show - one of 3 they played in NY, at the end of the '73 American tour that year. as always, please don't buy bootlegs !! Buy the official stuff instead !!
Today, the country seems to be going Olympic's mad !! Some of it has started already, in particular the football & archery.... but, the news has been covering the build up to the opening ceremony tonight. I think that starts about 9pm - I personally will be listening to the radio, well from about 6.30pm onwards at least. The reason being, there is a live broadcast of Beethoven's "9th Symphony" & I really want to listen to that !!
Then, about 8pm, I will be watching another station... mainly as there is an episode of "Star Trek Voyager" on & I don't think I've ever seen it - so, even tho' the Olympics are a once in a lifetime thing..... I'll see the re-runs later !!
I'm not a huge Trek fan - but, the last time I personally had chance to see tonight's episode.... well, that was probably back in 1995 !! I think I can be forgiven for wanting to see it tonight - I doubt very much I'll be around in another 17 years, if it takes that long to show it again !!
I was hoping my new Cd would have got here by today - but, the postman has been & gone.... leaving his usual pile of junk mail &
bills !! One of the latter - well, we paid it on Wednesday... so, I guess things got crossed in the post !! Never mind - as long as it's been paid....
As for my plans, for this weekend. I don't think we're doing very much really. A lot will depend on if we have a car or not !! To explain.... once a year, cars over 3 years old have to have a MOT certification, to show they are roadworthy & what have you. Well, our car is being checked today - so, unless it passes, we might not have a car over the weekend !!
The little things - well, they are not a problem... but, if it's something "big" we might have to wait until next week, to get it fixed !! I'll find out later, how things are & if it's passed or not !! As I keep saying "time will tell" !! It'll be weird, if we don't have a car over the weekend.... but, not the end of the World !!
I'm not sure if we will be able to go to Church this weekend anyways - car or no car - it will depend how I am, as always. If the weather is nice - it would be a nice little trip out, but after the hospital trip yesterday, well - we'll have to see how things go.
Right - I better be on my ways. My thanks to all of you, who have logged in today. From Russia, thru' America & back to Europe - I thank you for your time..... so, I will away.. until next time..
Bye Bye
