Bye Bye + Bye Bye... oops !!

Greetings Worlds !!

How has your day been.... so far mine has been pretty good.  B took me for a ride around earlier.... she needed some things in town & I went for the ride.  The traffic was really bad - I'm guessing it was mostly holiday tourist.... either going home, after the school holidays... or maybe people who are just going this way for the long weekend.  There were a lot of them tho'......

Talking of B - she has gone over the close, to the neighbour she helps out from time to time.... the neighbour is struggling at the moment, so B has gone over to help out, in any way she can.  As for the rest of the family - ME is at work today, until 8pm & J is upstairs working on his computer.

Leaving me here, on my own, typing these words to you.  The music of the moment is a cover album of the Rolling Stones 'Sticky fingers'.  By cover album... it has all the tracks on it - just done by other people.  It came free, with an old 'Mojo' magazine in January.... it's not too bad a listen.

I see on the news earlier, that Anders Breivik has been found guilty & sentenced to at least 21 years in jail.  I am glad about that.... after shooting all those people in Norway, it's a wonder he didn't get a full life term !!

But - as I understand it - 21 years is the maximum sentence in Norway - but, I guess they might keep him in for longer....

I've just changed the music over... I'm now playing 'The Lord Of The Rings Symphony'. It's a live concert recording of a big portion of the film sound track..... I picked up a copy a while back & it's pretty good really.  A bit of "easy listening" while I type these words......

I don't have any Zeppelin concerts from August 24th.... but, there will be more another time.

As it's a holiday weekend, J is heading off, on the train, to meet up with some of his old college mates.  B is going to drive him in to the station - tomorrow morning - and I'm guessing, we'll pick him up on Monday, at some point.  It's good that he keeps in contact with his old friends & meets up with them, every so often..... it gets him out of his 'hobbit Hole'.... if nothing else !!

I doubt if we'll be going too far, ourselves....... hopefully to Church on Sunday... but, beyond that, I don't think we have any other plans !!

I know B is baby sitting Murphy tomorrow.... P is going away for the day & we're just going to let him out a few times & give him his food etc etc.  Murphy is a big bear of a dog... very friendly, but a big bundle of fur !!

It's a real shame.... now that P's Wife has left him... poor old Murphy gets left on his home, apart from the walks & stuff we give him, for most of the day.  He is really the Wife's dog - but she has just dumped him & left P to pick up the bits !!  I'm guessing Murphy misses the Wife - but.... there is only sooooo much we can do !!

I think P was hoping we would have the dog overnight.... but, I said "no" to that !!  I'm not being mean - but, we don't mind looking after him, from day to day. But, it's not our problem really & if P wanted to go away, he should of thought about Murphy & arranged something... rather than relying on us to give him a bed for the
night !!

Oh well...... onwards...

Next Saturday is Exeter record fair - but, I know already, we wont be going down.  It would be nice to go & meet up with some old friends, but I really don't think I'm going to be well enough to make the trip.  This past few weeks have really been hard work... health wise & I would rather stay at home, then say I'm going down - that is, tell my friends I'll be there - and then not go there.  This way, I won't be letting anybody down.  maybe next time around.....

Ok - my plans for today...... I was going to have a little sleep... while B was out, but - as the lad is banging away on his drums, I'm not likely to get any joy there !!  So - I'm going to switch the TV on & watch a DVD of some sort.... what I don't know - but, I'm sure something will take my fancy !!  So - for now, I will away.. until next time..

Bye Bye

Actually - not "Bye Bye"..... My Dr has just 'phoned.  It turns out the tests I had done, on Monday (I think) have thrown up a bunch of nasties.  So - guess what.... I've got to go onto even more pills & potions !!  Great stuff...... just when I thought I was cutting back... I have to take more !!  Never mind - at least he thought it bad enough to 'phone me & let me know.... bless him !!  Until next time...

Bye Bye
