A very warm day & lots of old music !!

Greetings Worlds !!

How has your day been ? Mine has been a little hectic & - very - warm.... but, I'm having 30 minutes of "down time" now.. to try & catch by self, before I go completely mad !!

To explain.... or at least try to.... a while back, I bought this set of shelves - a sort of plastic thingy, with 3 big shelf units in it. The idea being, to try & put away a load of cassettes that were just collecting dust & not being used, played or what have you. Anyhoo - I used that set up & it worked really well - I think it held about 400 tapes in total...... so, I told B, at some point, I would get another one... another set.. and put away another load of tapes.

Well, this morning - just after 9 - we went into town, to do a bit of food shopping & while we were there, B bought another set for me. I wasn't really expecting to get one, well - not yet at least - but, now we have & I've spent the biggest part of the day sorting out tapes & re-arranging the Cd's. It has taken me several hours - I didn't realise what I was letting myself in for !!

Not only did I have to decide which tapes to put away, but... after all of that, I had to put the Cd's back into the space left vacant.... it seemed to take forever, it really did !!

What I didn't count on, was the fact that I had to move the Cd's around, before I could put the units in their final resting place.... the problem being, once the shelves were put back, I couldn't get around them, to put the Cd's in place !! If I had thought it thru'... before I started.. I probably wouldn't of tried to do it today - but, having no brain to talk of, I started & - therefore - I had to finish.... or, leave a great pile of Cd's all over the room !!

Oh well, it hasn't helped that it has been really hot today, mega
warm !! Never mind - I've sort of finished now. I've just got about 100 Cd's to find a home for & it will be done. At least, on the flip side of all of today's efforts... I have a load more space to stack the Cd's !! That's good - they were starting to get on top of each other !!

So - that's been my day really.....

As for the rest of the family... J is here cooking some supper & the ladies of the house are in Bristol, watching the balloon fiesta. I spoke to B a short while ago & they were heading back towards the car - to off load some bit & bobs.... after that, they were going to try & find something to eat !!  Knowing my Daughter - she will find some chips or a burger... bless her !!

J & I have just gone outside, to take in the stuff on the washing lines... it's gone incredibly dark out side !! It might turn to rain, the clouds are rolling in.... we will have to see how things go, I guess.

As the ladies won't be home until about midnight, it's unlikely I'll see them until the morning. By "see them" - well, I'll know B is home... but if I'm awake enough to say "Hello" is another thing altogether !! As it is - I don't think we will be going to Church, tomorrow... well, not unless B wakes up early enough to get me ready & everything !!

I told her earlier, that I didn't expect to be going... so, she knows not to "worry" about getting up & what have you !!  As long as we go next weekend... August 19th... I don't mind !!

As I've been sorting out the tapes today... well, I've been playing all kinds of stuff !! At the moment, I'm listening to Deep Purple's Tokyo concert, from December 15th 1975.... it came out officially some years back & - to be honest - it's not one of my favourite shows by them.  However - it does have Tommy Bolin's 'Wild Dogs' on the first disc.

If you don't know it, it's on his solo album 'Teaser'.... it's out on like a re-mastered Cd, as well as in it's original format. If you get chance, give it a listen - I've always liked it....

I mentioned I was going thru' a load of old tapes... giving them a listen & trying to work out what tracks were on which cassettes & everything. Well, I thought I had - more or less - found all of the ones I was interested in... but, today... well, I found another bunch, that I had forgotten about !!

Just when I thought I had finished... I go and find another load !!  Never mind - it will give me something to listen to. Two of the tapes were recorded in 1986 - I actually put dates on them - when I recorded them... which is not my usual way of doing things !!  Oh well - it'll mean there is nothing on there that is younger than 25 or 26 years old... so, for me, that will be interesting !!

Right - my plans for now.... well, head towards bed really........ B left my pills & potions out, for me to take at 8.30pm - so, that's my next "job" to complete !! Even when she is not here - she still looks after me !!

Ok - I must away....... I will return another day, so until then, I thank you for logging in.... until next time..

Bye Bye
