The Saga Of The Black Knee Pt 3

Well Hello Worlds !!

How has your weekend been ?  Mine has been brilliant, with just a shade of painful mixed in !!

To explain !!

Saturday was my birthday.... happy birthday to me & all that.... it was a brilliant day, one I won't forget in a hurry !!  I even had a "Happy Birthday" from America.... which was left on my our answer phone thingy !!  My thank's to T & R for their beautiful singing - I just wished I had been in the room to pick up the phone !! Oh well - it was a wonderful thought guys !!

The "painful" part of the weekend... well, that's the ongoing "Saga Of The Black Knee" !!

B had taken me to the Dr's Friday evening... & I had to go back yesterday.... but, in the meantime, the bruising had really spread & swollen beyond belief !!  So much so - that B & ME wanted me to go to the hospital on Sunday.  The pain was really 'bad' - but, thankfully, I have a shed load of medication here & that helped no end !! Anyhoo - yesterday, I had to go back to see my Dr about it & his first words were "How did you do that ?" Believe me - if I knew how I did it - I would of make sure he had not happened in the first place !!


He has given me some more pills to take - which I hope will help - & as he's on holiday now, I've to go back & have it checked out, if it doesn't clear up in the coming week !!  Time will tell, I guess.... but, that's the "Saga Of The Black Knee".... part 3 ... I think !!


Enough of all of that..... The family !!


J is upstairs, looking after me, B has gone to the gym..... she will be home in a shortish while.... and ME is heading down to Devon, with her boyfriend M, as she has a job interview to attend.  Hopefully she will enjoy it & they will hire her.... but, we will have to wait & see on that one.


As it is - she is coming back here... as her birthday pressy, to me, has reached me & I'm not allowed to open it until they get back.... or at least, until she is here to see my face, when I undo the box !!  So - even tho' it's my birthday - ME wants to be here to open the gift !!  No, not really - it looks interesting tho'.....


I will let you know what it is...... maybe, if I'm allowed to open it, next time I post !!


The music of the moment is another Allman Brothers concert from 2003.... one of the 'Instant Live' sets they have released.  I really do recommend them, if you like the Allmans in any shape or form... they are really worth the money !!


I have one Zeppelin concert from July 10th... that's from Milwaukee, in 1973.  It's not a complete show, but it makes up for that, by being a really good recording !!  The tracks are:


CD 1


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

CD 2

1) Dazed & Confused
2) Stairway To Heaven
3) Moby Dick

It's a shame that rest of the concert is missing - but, one day it will show up.  As always, don't buy bootlegs... buy the official stuff instead !!

I was trying to remember what we did yesterday..... I think we went into town, but that was about it really !! Me & my brain..... !!

Sunday we stayed at home.... really to spend time with the family & to rest the war wounds.  We couldn't make it to Church, which was a shame, but sometimes we can't make the trip & Sunday was one of those times !!  We had a good day at home tho' & just enjoyed ourselves being together.....

... oh yes, ME's graduation ball !!  From the sound of it, they had a great time !!  She won a bottle of wine, for being the "most organised student" !!  What - our girl......organised !!  Never !!  They also came home with a fantastic picture of the two of them... a copy of which is here with me on the table... we will have to get a frame for it & put it up some place.  It really is a great photo !!

Oh well - what else.....?

I have to decide what to do about my Brother's birthday card !!  Do I answer his little note inside... or do I do what he told me to do a few years back ?!  I'll have to think about that one I guess..... my life goes on, no matter what others in my family say !!  By family, I mean the few surviving members of my of my relations, not the family, B & J & ME...... I will certainly have to think about it all - there are only so many times I can be told to go and ************** myself !!

As for my Father-in-Law..... once again, despite B telling exactly when my birthday was, he has completely failed to send any form of greeting !!  Oh well - it is a shame we can't pick our family, like we pick our friends !!  Never mind.... my life will go on....... !!

& so must I... it's 1pm & time for my lunchtime' meds !!  Such fun.... I will be back.. until next time...

Bye Bye
