Greetings.... & not feeling the love.

Greetings Worlds !!

It's a bright, warm day here in England.... there is a low mist over towards the beach, but I can just make out the sea, off in the far distance.

Yesterday..... ah, yesterday.....

I was very down in the dumps, as you might have guessed from my post !!  But - it does bother me, when we go to Church & seem to get criticised for missing a few weeks.  I don't know what else we can do - but we're certainly not "feeling the love" and that's for
sure !!

It just seems that certain members of the Congregation see it as their life's goal to find fault with those of us - well, those of us who can not make it, for whatever reason, to Church every Sunday !!  They seem to have nothing better to do with their lives, than (as I just wrote) to find fault !!

I'm not a fanatic, but I do have the Lord in my heart & he is with me, every day of my life - just because I'm not well enough to attend services every week.... well, it's not my fault, or B's !!  We go, when we can & take part when we can..... if that's not good enough for others, well...... too bad !!

I have to think about 4 people in my life.  My Wife & Dearest Friend B & our 2 children, J & ME.  Number 4 in that list is me !!  I have to care about myself, or I would of given up many years ago - I'm still here flapping my arms, so.......

B & I have made comment before..... maybe not here...  that over the last 5 years, so many people have joined The Church - yet, we're probably the only ones who still attend !!  Becoming a member of The Church - well... it's not something we did lightly !!  In my case, it probably took over 20 years - from that first visit, by the Missionaries, in 1986.......  Oh well - enough of my moaning !!

As for B - she has gone into town, to pay some bills & go to the gym  She will be home in a couple of hours. J is outside, still attacking the garden - they took down a tree, yesterday, and now J is trying to tidy it up a bit.  He has actually just come back in - having cut thru' an electric cable with one of the tools !!  Oh well - luckily, he didn't get a shock out of it !!

So - anyways - that just leaves ME - who has gone out to meet with some friends.  The thought being, when she starts work, next Monday, she might struggle to keep up with people, especially as they do not live locally !!

Leaving me here, typing these words & listening to a Led Zeppelin concert from July 23rd 1979.  It's a 2 Cd set, recorded in Copenhagen, Denmark, as one of the warm up concerts for Knebworth.  They only did 4 concerts in 1979 - and this is the first of them.... the tracks are:

CD 1

1) The Song Remains The Same
2) Celebration Day
3) Black Dog
4) Nobody's Fault But Mine
5) Over The Hills & Far Away
6) Misty Mountain Hop
7) Since I've Been Loving You
8) No Quarter
9) Hot Dog

CD 2

1) The Rain Song
2) White Summer
3) Kashmir
4) Trampled Underfoot
5) Achilles Last Stand
6) Guitar Solo
7) In The Evening
8) Stairway To Heaven
9) Rock & Roll

As well as this 2 Cd set - there is also a 3 Lp version of the show..... it's quite well recorded, but..... the concert itself wasn't so hot !!  Oh well.... it's in the collection & that's good enough for me !!  As always, don't buy bootlegs - buy all the official stuff instead !!  More another time....

I've had a hectic morning, so far at least !!  I had to go down to my Dr's this morning, at 8.50am..... I was meant to have a check up.  Unfortunately, my regular Dr has fallen off of a tractor & broken some ribs !!  So - I had to see one of the others.

I'm glad I did tho' - as (once again) I have some kind of infection & need to go back onto some more pills !! It could explain why I've been feeling so low of late - my body is struggling to cope & that's bringing me down 'health wise'...... I also have to have another set of blood work done.... the last lot thru' up a couple of nasties & they have to be re-checked !!

He showed me this chart thing & over the last few years, it has steadily been getting worse... so, that have to check it over
again !!  Bummer !!

Never mind..... I was also meant to have a hair cut - but, as I was feeling like c**p, B decided I should skip it today.... so, I'm now booked in for Saturday (I think).... B will have to remind me, but.... I just didn't feel well enough today !!

As for my plans - well.... now that the Tour of France has finished, my afternoons are a little bit empty !!  I will probably go back to bed in a little while & try & get my body to work !!  I have to watch yesterdays F1 Grand Prix..... Mr Button landed up in 2nd place - after the stewards decided there was an illegal overtake - oh well, more points in the bag !!

So - anyways.... I must be on my way.... until next time...

Bye Bye
