'Renaissance Man & A Friends Nerve !!

Well "Hello" To All Of You !!

It's a Saturday, here in England.... the Sun is out, the sky is blue - with just the odd cloud - and all is well !!

As I type - B is out in the back garden, attacking a tree.... it seems it has got in the way & is now paying the price !!  No really - we have a path, that goes up over to the right of the garden & the tree has grown across it - so, B is trying to lop off some of the lower
branches !!  She has been putting off doing it for months - which means it has grown even worse this year !!  Never mind....

I have the music on low, so she can shout if she needs anything - I should be able to hear her, as the windows are open.....

As for the rest of the family.... J is upstairs, on his computer - having cut the lawns this morning - and ME is out at work. I think she will be home by the middle of the afternoon.... tho' I think she might be staying the night at her boyfriends.... I'm not really sure about that !!

So - that just leaves me here, typing these words to you..... My thanks again, to all of you who have logged in over the last few days.  Especially a big "Hello" to my reader in China !!  It's good to know you're out there in "internet land" !!

It's been a busy sort of day.  We went into town this morning for a quick shopping trip.... the food was running low, so we headed to ASDA.  Thankfully, it was very quiet - tho' it was early.... so, maybe we beat the rush !!  Anyhoo - after that, we came home & started doing all of our various little things we had to do !!

I had nothing in the pipeline - so, I'm just lending support as & when it's needed !!

I made a complete idiot of myself, out side of ASDA, in the car park !!  As I got out, my left knee (the black one - read earlier posts about that) gave out & I hit the floor like a ton of c**p !!  It didn't hurt, as such, but - now, my knee is starting to swell again........ and I guess, it will go black again over the next couple of days - so, "The Saga Of The Black Knee" continues !!  Bummer !!

Yesterday afternoon - the doctor 'phoned up.... the blood tests I had done, about 10 days or so ago, have thrown something up & I have to go back for more.... in a week or 2 !!  That should be fun - anyhow, I have to see the Dr on Monday morning, so - maybe - I'll find out more then !!

The music of the moment is 'Renaissance Man' by Jaimoe's Jasssz Band..... it's on track 3 at the moment & is really growing on me, more each time I play it !!

Just on this album - I've got to admire my friends nerve !!  I mentioned I had it... and he was interested in buying it.... mainly as it's signed by the band.  I basically said he could go & get stuffed !!  Now he has asked, if I don't play it (which I do) if could loan it for a few months.... just to check it out !!

That might sound quite innocent - but, I wouldn't trust him with a Cd I don't want... I'm pretty certain, in that few months, while he is checking it out, the thing will go missing & replaced by another - unsigned - copy !! I know my friend far too well, to fall for a trap like that !!  Oh well....

I have a Zeppelin concert from July 21st... this time from New York, in 1969.  The tracks are:

1) The Train kept a Rollin'
2) I Can't Quit You
3) Dazed & Confused
4) You Shook Me
5) White Summer - Black Mountain Side
6) How Many More Times
7) Communication Breakdown

It a good recording & is a nice change from the later years recordings I've been writing about lately !!  As always, don't buy bootlegs !!

Right - for now, I will be on my ways..... the days broadcast, from the Tour of France, is just starting & I want to catch up on that !!  So - until next time...

Bye Bye
