Blooming cats & other thoughts on a rainy day !!

Hi again Worlds.......

It's a wet & - for me - sombre Friday here in old England......  my get up & go, well.... it's all gone I'm sorry to say !!

Having had a very sleepless night, then woken up by one of our cats at 4am.... well, that just about put the icing on the cake - tonight, that animal sleeps in the porch !!  I don't mind that much - but, come on puss... I need my beauty sleep !!

Oh well...... it's about 11am & I'm here alone..... ME is at Uni, J is upstairs & B has gone into town to try & sort out a few things.  I think she's going to do a bit of shopping & then go into the gym for an hour, before heading home.

So, that leaves me here.... the music of the moment is a collection of 5 studio albums by Ian Gillan.  He still sings with Deep Purple (well, the last time I heard anything of them, he was still singing with them) but, these are things he did with his 'Gillan' band over the years.

I didn't know what to play - so, I just put these in on shuffle & had done with it !!

It's not very nice outside, at the moment - so, I'm glad I'm staying in the house....... there are loads of weather warnings out & about. With all the rain we've had lately, the rivers are still likely to flood...... good luck everybody !!

I had great plans for today - I had it in mind to do loads of odd jobs... you know the stuff I keep putting off, but - feeling like c**p today.... well, I'm putting the jobs off for another day or 10 !!

I've just had a mad 5 minutes of phone calls...... !!

A lady called, to try & get hold of ME.. about a job... so, I then gave her ME's new phone number & also got J to text her to call home.  ME has now called & I've passed on the details..... so, hopefully she will get an interview out of it, if nothing else !!  One moment it's all quiet here & then.... well, things go mad !!

Oh well - it gets the blood pumping !!

Right..... what's next..... oh yes, another Zeppelin concert.  I'm amazed how many of you "enjoy" my little list of concerts.

Anyhoo - I have one, from July 6th 1973.... recorded in Chicago.  The tracks are:

CD 1

1) Rock & Roll
2) Celebration Day
3) Black Dog
4) Over The Hills & Far Away
5) Since I've Been Loving You
6) No Quarter
7) The Song Remains The Same
8) The Rain Song

CD 2

1) Dazed & Confused
2) Stairway To Heaven

CD 3

1) Moby Dick
2) Heartbreaker
3) Whole Lotta Love
4) Communication Breakdown

This is a great soundboard recording of the band in full flight !!  It's not everybody's cup of tea - but, for me it's brilliant.... one to listen to if you get the chance.  Having said that, of course - I'm going to say, as I always do - don't buy bootlegs !!  The 1973 American tour is captured on the official 'The Song Remains The Same' 2 Cd set - so, buy that instead !!

I hope the weather will get a little better, over the weekend.... it's our F1 Grand Prix on Sunday !!  I won't be going, but if it's wet & horrid.... well, I was going to say, it'll spoil the racing... but, it could make for a more interesting 2 hours !!

I hope we'll make it to Church on Sunday..... we will have to wait & see how things go I guess.

B asked what I wanted to do, tomorrow, on my Birthday.  I haven't got a clue really !!  I keep meaning to visit a 'second hand' record shop in town, but never seem to get there !! So, maybe - if it's not pouring down with rain - I might get B to drive me in to there.  If nothing else, I can have a look at what he has - there might be something that shouts "buy me" !!

Ok - for now, I must be on my ways......  I really am knackered today - blooming cats !!

Until next time...

Bye Bye
