The Blue Man Group... and other things !!

Greetings Worlds....

It's very bright, chilly day here in England...... about 1.30pm by my clock, tho' I have no idea what time it is with you, my readers !!

Talking of which.... A big "Hello" to my reader in Australia & also my reader in Saudi Arabia !!  It's amazing how far my words are going around the World...... if I had known people would be reading these words, from America, thru' Europe - not forgetting Sweden - out into Russia, Asia - China.... and beyond.... well, I'm gob-smacked so many of you are reading !!  My thanks to you all & I thank you for your time !!

Are any of you fans of the Beatles ?  I'm not - infact, I'm probably the only person in the Weston World who isn't !!  But, having written that - I did play a few tracks from 'The White Album' this morning..... no real reason.  I was watching a bit of a video, I was transferring over to DVD, and the main character said about it - so, I thought I would listen to it for a while.  it was a very short while - but, what the heck.... it really is not for me !!

As I wrote, to an American 'blogger' this past week - while others were raving about 'Sgt. Pepper' - well, I was playing the first Canned Heat album !!  It was 1967... and stuff coming out of the American radio stations was far better than anything the British stations were playing !!

I had a really old radio - it was a thing my Granddad had.  When he died, some how, I landed up with it !!  It was great - I could pick up stations from all around the World..... especially from America, broadcasting to the troops, stationed in Germany & the rest of Europe.

While my friends were raving about the Beatles, I was listening to the Grateful Dead, canned heat & Buffalo Springfield - to name just a few.... ah, those were the days !!  Now of course - I don't actually own a radio - but, I've managed to collect a big bundle of Cd's by various bands.

As I said to the American lady - I'm still playing canned Heat... are my old (probably dead) school friends still playing 'Pepper' ?!  I doubt it......

The music of the moment, is by the Blue Man Group... one of their concerts...... not really sure where from, exactly, but it's a bit of fun, none the less..

As for the family.  B & ME - who is on a day off - have gone out & will be back later, leaving J upstairs to keep an eye on me here.  He's a good lad.... even had a bit of a tidy around the rec room earlier, as - unexpectedly - I'm having some visitor tonight !! To explain....

Due to poor health, I've not been to Church, for a few weeks.  Can't be helped - it's just the way things are at the moment !!  Anyhoo - a week or 2 back, we had an e-mail, from our Bishop, about going to Temple.  Anyways - that was a little while back & I answered that, we didn't expect to be going.... maybe a few years ago, but not now.

So - this morning, the Bishop 'phoned & asked if we could meet up & discuss our going.  No problem with talking about it, as far as I'm concerned..... but I still don't think we will be going !!

So - we've arranged to meet, this coming Sunday... if I'm at Church.  Then, out of the blue - I get another e-mail, about a Church visit tonight, by some guys we know !!  All very strange - and, to my old cynical mind, a little toooooooo much of a coincidence !!  Nobody comes to see us for months - then I get a 'phone call & a visit, all in the same day !!

Ho-hum..... I will no doubt, let you know how things go..... it's all a little too much, too obvious at the moment !!  Never mind.... that's all for another day I guess !!

Tomorrow, my friend - who is visiting from South America - is dropping by again. It's going to be good to see him & have a chat.  He's bringing over an expensive Lp, that he wants me to put on Cd for him.... so, that will be fun !!  Why he doesn't just buy the Cd & have done with it - well, each to their own !!

In the post, I've just had a copy of the DVD 'Millennium'.  It's a Sci-fi movie, directed by Michael Anderson & has been one of my favourites for a few years now.  He also directed 'The Martian Chronicles' & 'Logan's Run'...... so, it's pretty good !!  It'll be good to see a clear copy of it - my old tape has basically had it's day !!  So - rather than copy an old, worn out tape, B suggested I get the DVD - it was only £3, so nothing too expensive really !!

I shall be sitting down & watching that a little later...... more than likely, when i finish typing these words to you !! It depends on what time B gets back home..... I'll adjust to her plans, when she gets
here !!

At some point, I have to go & wire the aerial, for the new TV.... which I mentioned, either yesterday, or the day before.  It's going to replace the one in our bedroom - which is all well & good... but, I have to get the aerial wired in & that's going to be fun !!  Not being as good as I used to be, getting up into the loft space & stuff.... never mind, if I fall thru' to the bedroom, it'll save me having to make a hole for the wire !!

That's for another day tho'...... not today !! But, I must be on my ways for now.... until next time...

Bye Bye
