B's birthday & more music.. Ho-hum !!

Greetings Worlds...

I hope your bit of the Universe is treating you well today !!  It's been a great day, here in England... it's B's birthday !!  So -  a happy birthday to My Wife & Dearest Friend !!  I won't tell you how old she is - that's probably a state secret or something..... needless to say, you never ask or give a Lady's age !!

As part of her gifts... I managed to track down the Cd soundtrack to 'E.R.'.... so, as well as all of the DVD's - which some of you will know, I've been buying all thru' the last 10 months - she now has the complete set !! It took a bit of doing, but... it was a plan & I love it when a plan comes together !!

Earlier, we - including ME - went to one of her favourite craft shops & she was able to track down some stuff she has been looking for... + a magazine, which seems to have been a bit hard to come by. So, that was good !!

Also - we went into the garden centre & picked up a nice orchid.  I think it's become a little bit of a new passion, for B & she now has 4 quite nice ones, living in the landing window !!

As I type, she is behind me.... baking some stuff, for the family & the Missionaries.  Since they have been coming over, she has taken "pity" on them & has been baking them odds & ends, to keep them fed !!  Bless them - they need looking after !!

I know they enjoy their food... so, it's the least we - well, B - can do for them !!

So - B's behind me, in the kitchen, cooking.... J is upstairs, in his Hobbit Hole & ME is a few feet away from me, sat on the couch thingy, watching a film & 'playing' with her Ipad gizmo..... the film is one of my favourites, 'Bicentennial Man'.  It's only a bit of fun.... & I've always liked the short stories it was based on.

I was listening to another David Bowie Cd.... As mentioned before... I'm trying to replace my old cassette tapes, by him & today's Cd of choice, has been 'Diamond Dogs'.  It's a re-release & has a bonus disc - which I've not played yet, but looks quite interesting !!

Altho' I've had the tapes, for years & years... I've not played them for ages..... but, having said that, I have remembered most of the tracks !!  I guess these older albums are pretty ingrained on my brain !!

Just took a short break... one of our friends came in with a card for B...... & there is going to be another new member of the family !!

But - I jump too far ahead....

I mentioned, a week or two back, that we had a gold fish..... well, Colin (the gold fish) passed away last night !!  We only had him for a short while & it seemed like he enjoyed his bowl - but, last night, he gave the whole swim around the bowl life & died !!

A shame really.... but, the fish from the fair never last for very long.... which is a shame, but.....

Anyhoo - the lady who just visited, lives on a farm & has a bunch of kittens she is trying to find homes for. So, as it's B's birthday - I've agreed to let her have another one !! I'm not sure how our 3 will get along with the 'baby' - but, on Monday, B & ME are going down to the farm & pick one out !!  Oh joy.... another mouth to feed..... ho-hum !!

I was just looking... I don't think I have any Zeppelin concerts from today, so.... there will be more.... next month I guess....

Oh - but, the new 2 Cd set has been ordered, so hopefully that will be here by the end of November !!  I'm not too excited about it - but, it's got to be better than the boots that have been going around, over the last 5 years !!  I'll let you know, when it gets here !!

Also - some time this week..... well, next week I guess.... I'm expecting a 2 Cd & DVD set from Therion.  I've no idea what to expect, as I've never really heard any thing by them.  So - why get the Cd's... well, why not ?!

B has said I can have a copy - so, that should be fun.... again, I'll let you know what it's like, when I get it.

Right - my plans for the rest of the weekend..... Well, none really - tho' hopefully, we'll be going to Church in the morning.  I'll have to see how I am, over night, I guess.... at the moment.... well - I won't look too far ahead !!

So - with a happy heart, I will be on my ways... until next time......

Bye Bye
