Neil Young & a bit of a panic !!

Greetings Worlds !!

I've just logged in & found that - thanks to you guys... my readers - I have once again beaten my all time page reads this month !!  I thank you all for taking the time... not just to read my words, but... well, the fact you keep coming back, to read more !!

Ok - it's a bright & windy Saturday, here in England.... B is - as I type - is out by the front of the house, cleaning the window.  I keep making "rude" faces at her.... trying to put her off, so far it hasn't worked !!  She was going up the extension ladder, to do our bedroom window..... but, as it's windy, I talked her out of that !!  She hates going too high on the ladder, as it is, with-out all the wind that's blowing around out there !!

J has been out there, already - cutting the big hedge a bit... giving it a little trim across the top.  I know our neighbour hates the hedge... but, it's part of our property & I like it the way it is.... it gives us a bit of privacy !!  Oh well... it's no big thing....

Earlier, B & I went into town to do some shopping..... I didn't plan on going, but.... my friend from S. America couldn't make it over today - so, instead of staying home, I went along for the ride !!  As it was... I really messed up..... to explain....

We had been around the super market & were at the till.....but, when it came time to pay the bill, the card that I gave B was refused !!  Mad, embarrassed panic ensued.... and B found another card to pay for the groceries !!  It turned out - when we got back to the car - I had given her the wrong card !!  I had given her a savings a/c card - instead of a regular a/c card... hence it was refused !!  My bad..... but, I'm glad we worked out what was wrong !!  For a little while we were really worried about why the card had been refused !!

So - that was a bit of a mess up, on my part.... and luckily, we sorted it all out in the end !!  As I say - my bad !!

So - apart from ME... who is working today... that's the family.  The music of the moment is by Neil Young. It's one of the concerts I was given yesterday, by my friend....... it's really good !!  An audience recorded concert, from August 9 that happened at Lake Tahoe, Nevada.... I think ?!  Not really sure - but, it's very good.  

I also have another 1971 concert by Zeppelin.  This one is called 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' & is again, from Osaka.  So, from September 29th 1971, the tracks are:

3) Since I've Been Loving You
4) Black Dog
5) Dazed & Confused

2) Communication Breakdown
3) Thank You
4) Rock & Roll

It was the last night of the 1971 tour of Japan & I love this show - one of my all time favourites from the tour....  It's all a bit mad... but, a great concert all the same.  As always - don't buy bootlegs !!  I've seen this particular boot for sale at record fairs, for upwards of £65 !!  It's crazy - buy the official stuff instead !!

I see on the news, that they have found the 15 year old girl & her 30 year old teacher.... some place to the South of France.  I think she'll be brought back to England, at some time, today..... it's all a bit
weird !!  The guy should of known, not to run off with a 15 year old girl - but, from the pictures they showed on TV - it didn't look like she went too much against her will !!

I guess he'll get into all kinds of trouble over this - which, I agree, he should.... but, I'm also guessing - the girl - will sell her story to the national newspapers....  Time will tell - but, the guy should not of done it !!

Right - my plans for today.... Well, I'm going to watch the MotoGP qualifying, that is on TV.... I want to see how well the British riders do, ahead of tomorrows race !!  We have some great riders in the mix at the moment & I enjoy watching the racing !!

Staying with motor sport - I see MR Hamilton is joining another F1 team next year !!  I guess he didn't get what he wanted, with his current team, so he's on the move !!  Never mind - as long as JB stays, we don't mind too much.....  I think I will be opting out of my Mercedes Newsletter - which I get..... I don't really like Mr H at all, so.... I don't really want to read about the guy !!

Talking about News type things... I've just had my Time mag come in the post.... I won't behaving that one next year !!  I find it too bias in it's views on the rest of the World.... never mind..... I won't miss it !!

Anyhoo - I must be on my ways..... again, I thank you all for reading... so... until next time...

Bye Bye
