Greetings Worlds...
How are you all doing this fine day ?! I see, even given the early (for me) hour, people have been logging in already this morning.... so, greetings to you all. From France, thru' Europe & over to Russia - hi everybody !!
It's only 11am here in England & B & I have been to town, down our shopping and picked up a new dryer !! It's madness !! But - to explain....
We have 2 dryer's.... both of which are on the frizz - so, after probably years of putting it off, we finally went out & bought a new one. The reason for this madness ? Well, as mentioned - the old ones were well past their prime...... one keeps tripping the electric, every time it gets switched on & the other - well, it's held together with cable ties & hope !! So - last night, there was an advert on TV... saying Comet had a big sale on, with dryer's down £50... so, we went this morning to get one of those !!
As we went into the store, there were 4 of the things stacked by the door... so, I said to the lady serving - "I want one of those please" & that seem to make her day.... after all, they had only been open a little while, so her commission took off straight away !! Great stuff.......
ME's boyfriend spent the night here... they're just leaving as I type... and M helped J bring it in from the car. So, that saved a bit of a struggle !! It's now waiting for the old machines to get thrown out of their "nests" & it will all be sorted !! A good start to the day....
As mentioned - ME & boyfriend, M, have just left.... she want's to pick up some shoes, to go with a dress she bought yesterday....more of that in a moment. That leaves J & B here with me..... trying to get the house sorted a bit. I don't think it's too bad - but, I'm just a man, what do I know !!
Back to yesterday...
We all went up to Bristol, to look into the 'big' shopping mall there. ME drove, mainly as she knew the way - well, better than us, at least - and her car is newer than our old banger !! The plan was, to go to a craft shop, that B likes........ then over to 'Burger King', followed by a look around the shops. It all went really, really well !!
Both the ladies of the house found dresses for ME's graduation (hence the need for shoes, on today's shopping outing) & J & I had a look around the music shop....... much to my disgust, there was only one... but, I spent over an hour going around it !!
I did come home with a few 'new' Cd's tho'... so - it was an hour well spent !! I picked up, believe this or not, the first 5 albums by The Monkees (yep !). 'The Kid's Are Alright' by the Who.... I've been playing a copy of their 'By Numbers' Cd to death this past few days.. so, I thought, "why not". The last thing I picked up, was the 'Live At Loreley' 2 Cd set, by Marillion. I've seen the old video of this show... so, as this Cd set has a few un-released tracks, it was a bit of a bargain !!
So - with the various David Bowie Cd's I've had this week... it's been a good one for music !!
As I don't have any Zeppelin shows, from this time of the year - at the moment - today's concert is by David Bowie & was recorded on October 20th 1972 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium & was a show from his first American tour... well, that's what the sleeve notes say anyhow !! The tracks are:
1) Introduction
2) Hang On To Yourself
3) Ziggy Stardust
4) Changes
5) The Supermen
6) Life On Mars ?
7) Five Years
8) Space Oddity
9) Andy Warhol
10) My Death
11) The Width Of A Circle
12) Queen Bitch
13) Moonlight Daydream
14) John, I'm Only Dancing
15) Waiting For The Man
16) The Jean Genie
17) Suffragette City
18) Rock & Roll Suicide
Lou Reed's 'Waiting For The Man' is the stand out track, for me at least !! It's hard to believe, this concert - which I'm playing as I type, is 40 years old !! How mad is that.... it's out officially, so... no need to look for a bootleg of the show !! More another day !!
Right - going back to Thursday night - the 2 Elders came over to see us again & we talked about Temple. I think I'm right, saying that people seem to think it's their day - not just ours !! As I explained to them - if we go & I'm still not convinced we will be going... well, it's a day for B & I to enjoy - for me, at least, I want to to keep it simple !! The fewer people, the better.......
I'll keep you posted on how things work out...... I'm not holding my breath on this visit - I really don't think we'll be going !! Time will tell, I guess......
I've mentioned before - about how my memory has gone a bit weird, over the last couple of years. Well, when I switched the computer on, this morning, I found a couple of 'new' blogs !! They were in my favourites & I must of put them there at some point - tho' I've no real idea when !! I tell - you - if I had a brain & a memory, I would be dangerous !! Oh well.....
Ok - mu plans for today.... well, there is some MotoGP qualifying on the BBC.. so, I'll check that out.... I've got to have my fix of motor sport at least once a week !! Plus - yesterday, I had a box of DVD's come in the post... this time, 'Star Trek Voyager' (Season 4)... so, that will give me something to watch later !!
Add to all of that, the various Cd's I've had this week.... well, I won't get thru' of them today & that's for sure !! Such is life.... until next time...
Bye Bye
