King Of kings + Beethoven's 9th.... again !!

Well Hello There Worlds !!

It's a Friday here in England - the Sun is out, the sky is blue-ish & it's not too cold.  It was a cold morning tho'... B had to get ME out of bed, for work this morning & she did not want to get up !! Oh well - ME has a couple of days off, from tomorrow - so, she can stay in bed, as long as she likes !!

As I type, B & J have gone into town, to dump a load of stuff... it's been sitting in our garage for what seems like forever & now it's on it's way to be recycled !!

"It" being old computer parts, a box of old videos & so many boxes, well - I've no idea where they all came from !!  Someone will no doubt find a use for the stuff... most of it seems to find homes, once people go thru' what's there.... I guess that's the whole point of having a "recycling" centre !!

Anyhoo - with the family out of the house... I'm sat here like a plonker... with my headphones on, blasting Beethoven's 9th Symphony to death !!  It's the one I wrote about, a week or 2 back.... Last night I put it over to Cd - from the DVD copy..... I prefer to play Cd's & so.... that's the music of the moment !!  It seems to have come out pretty good..... more by luck than judgement on my part !!

I don't have any different Zeppelin concerts, to write about - having covered today's Cd's, yesterday. As we're coming into the Autumn, there will be plenty more.... so.....

I can't believe it's going to be September tomorrow !!  Where has this year gone to ?!  I'm not complaining - I'm just grateful to still be here typing these words to you all..... grateful that, once again, the Dr's have got it wrong & I'm able to smile about it !!

Sure - my day to day health has gone down hill over the last year.... but.... heck I'm still here !!

I think I wrote, yesterday, that B had gone to a carers meeting... Well, the lady, who is in charge, has suggested we get a ramp put in.... instead of the steps out front.  That's a good idea - but, I'm not 100% sure that's what I want !!

The steps have become a problem, but..... rather than have a ramp put in, it would be easier to move to a different house altogether.  As I'm not too keen on that solution, well.... I guess we'll leave things as they are, for now at least !!

Well, until the guys move out at least.... and I don't see that happening too soon, so we'll have to see how things go, over the coming months.

So - what else is new ?!  I think Mitt Romney has been picked as the guy to fight President O'B later in the year.... good luck to all my American readers, with your election & everything !!  My Romney was over here - in the country - a while back & I didn't see one thing about him on the news !!  I would of thought - if he wanted press coverage, he would of stayed away... at least until the Olympics had finished !!

He upset a few people over on the mainland (the rest of Europe) by some of the things he said..... but, all politicians upset somebody at some point... and that's a fact !!  Oh well...... good luck everybody !!

Last night, B baked a cake thingy..... nothing unusual in that, B is forever baking !!  However, this cake has been "growing" over the last 10 days.  It started off as a mixture, to which B added - or fed - more ingredients & as it got bigger & bigger, she separated it out & gave away 3 parts of it to friends - cooking what was left !!

If you know what an old English style bread pudding taste's like... it's like that, but with 2 apples in it, for extra flavour.  all very strange, but - from the small bit I had - very, very good !!

Also - last night... I finally managed to "translate" all of the lyrics, from Mr Beet's 9th Symphony !!  I'm pleased about that !!  Having listened to the German version - the original - all of my life, to actually work out what the lyrics were.... well, pleased about that !!

Ok - so... I did look up some of them, but.... I'm still happy I managed to get them all... it only took me my entire life, I guess !!  No - maybe not that long.... just a very long time !!  Mrs Larkin, my old music teacher would be pleased with me.... to try & explain....

At school, our Religious Studies class, was above the music class... so, instead of learning about who said what & did unto who, in The Bible... I would be listening to the music coming up from below.  In the end, Mr's L would let me have tapes of a load of the old Lp's she played.  Not cassettes mind you - the old spool tapes !!  Bless her - I never did finish her class - but, I did have a better understanding of classical music because of her !!

Just with The Bible.... "King of Kings" was on TV the other day & ME was, sort of, watching it. She seemed amazed that I knew the next bit of the film, or the words the actors were saying.... in the end I told her "I've read the book" and that seemed to make her smile !!  I've probably said all of this before - if so.... sorry !!

As I wrote to Lady V, last night... if I had a brain, I would be dangerous... if I had a memory to go with that brain, they would lock me away !! Hi Lady V - I hope your day is going well !!

Right, my plans for today... as usual, none at all !! So - with nothing else to do & plenty of time to do it... I will be on my way.  I thank you all for reading... until next time...

Bye Bye
