Found One - Lost One !!

Hi again Worlds !!

It's a really bright breezy day here in England...... and I have a had a fantastic night's sleep !!  "Yippeeee !!"

What is so special about that ?!  Well, as long time readers will know.... I don't sleep too well - but, last night & mainly thanks to modern medicines, I had a beauty !!  Ok - I was a little tardy, getting out of bed this morning.... but, I was up by 10.30 am.... so, it wasn't too bad !!

Anyhoo.... that was last night...... today is another Tuesday, which means I get chocolate !!  I won't go back over all of that... but, Tuesday is chocolate day !!  To that end - B has gone into town, to take in a gym class & pick up some food & stuff.

So - with ME at work.... her 4th day in a row...., that just leaves J here to look after me, should I need it.... all is good in my little
World !!

It's not been the best few days.....

If you go back, over my old post, you will read about the "Saga of the Black Left Hand".  Well, on Saturday morning, I woke with what felt like "pins & needles" in my right hand..... no biggy, just a bit of a pain.  But, now - as I type - I have the  "Saga of the Big Black Right
Hand" !!  I kid you not - my right hand & arm have swollen to a small club & have both turned a nice shade of blue black !!  Great stuff !!

I saw my local Dr yesterday & he has no real idea why it's turn out this way.... but, has given me some more pills to take - to fight off any infection that might be lurking...... it's all good...... even if I am finding it kind of hard to use my hand !!  Being right handed, it's proving kind of hard work.... but, no big deal really !!

Ok - enough of the hand....

The music of the moment is a Gov't Mule concert Cd..... May 5th 2001.  I know very little about this show, other than a friend gave it to me a while back.  It was recorded in New Orleans and plays really well - so......

Staying with music, I have another Zeppelin concert from this day, October 2nd 1972.  It was, again, in Japan - again from Tokyo, but...... this time it was the first night of the 1972 tour.  The tracks are:

CD 1

  1) Rock & Roll
  2) Over The Hills & Far Away
  3) Black Dog
  4) Misty Mountain Hop
  5) Since I'v Been Loving You
  6) Dancing Days
  7) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
  8) The Song Remains The Same
  9) The Rain Song
10) Dazed & Confused

CD 2

1) Stairway To Heaven
2) Whole Lotta Love
3) I Can't Quit You
4) Whole Lotta Love (reprise)
5) Heartbreaker
6) Immigrant Song
7) Communication Breakdown

This was one of the first 10 Cd boots I ever had by Zeppelin.... it was one of those "must haves" from the early 1990's !!  It is - like a lot of the tapes that came out of Japan - very well recorded & really good to listen to.  But - as always, don't buy bootlegs.... buy the official stuff instead !!

Right - back to the weekend..... for a change, it was B who was poorly on Sunday & didn't really feel well enough to go very far.  So - that meant we stayed at home...... it wasn't any good my driving the car - if I had done that,  we wouldn't of made it anyways !!  So - we stayed at home & had a quiet day.

As it was - B still felt poorly yesterday & today.... and I wish she had skipped going to the gym today.... but, she wanted to give it a try - to see how she got on.  Hopefully, she won't over do anything !!  Never mind - she knows her own limits, so.... I will have to leave it to her !!

Even tho' we were not at Church - on Sunday - as far as I know, we're still having visitors (from Church) on Wednesday & Thursday this week..... I can't exactly remember when... what time.... by, I seem to remember they're coming over !!

It's all to do with the possibility of B & I going up to Temple...... I'm not 100% sure how that is going to turn out.... mainly as no one will tell me what to expect when we get there !!  That is a real problem for me !!

I cannot understand the fact, that - even tho' we might go to Temple - no one will tell me what to expect, when we get there !!  It's my life and I feel I need that bit of information, before I make the trip !!  After all - if I don't know what is going to happen - whose to say, I'll want it to happen !!

It would be a real bummer, to go all the way there - it's about a 200 mile round trip - and then, once I've made the effort, that I don't want to do what is expected of me !!  Am I making sense ?!

Also - another problem, that people don't seem to take on board..... it's our trip to Temple !!  The people who we talk with, all seem too keen to share the experience with us.... they want to be there with us.... !!  It's going to be our time, not their's..... !! I am really having a problem with this whole thing.......oh well !!

It's been 4 years since we were first talked to, about going to The Temple..... the way things are going, I'm going to be dead before we get there....."such is life"..... I really wish some time it wasn't !!

Onto other things.....

Last night, I was looking for my old 'Dr Who' tapes.... I wanted to try & find the first episodes, that featured Matt Smith.... well, I didn't find it last night & honestly thought I had  thrown it away, with the other old tapes.  Well - this morning - more by chance, than anything, I found the video I was looking for...... unfortunately, it was on a tape that - I had hoped - contained earlier shows.......!!

So - altho' I have found the tape I was looking for..... it means I have lost another one !!  So - I've found one & lost one.... all at the same time !!  Bummer - tho' it's no big thing.... if I have thrown the earlier shows away, I will just have to live with it.... there is no way I'm going to buy the missing episodes !!  Maybe the tape will show up... if not, well.... there is nothing I can do about it now......... unless the BBC repeat them at some later date !!  Time will tell....

Ok - my plans for today..... as usual, I don't really have any !!  I'll try & find the "missing" 'Dr Who' tape - but, as I don't hold out much hope of finding it... I probably won't look too hard !!  Apart from that, and listening to some music... well, it's going to be a quiet day, here in the homestead !!

So - with Gov't Mule blasting away... I will be on my ways... until next time....

Bye Bye
