Goodbye to our friend & a weekend in bed !!

Greetings Worlds !!

As some of you will have no doubt noticed - I haven't been posting for a couple of days.... to explain.

On Saturday morning, we took J into town to catch a train.... that was quite early, about 9 ish, I think.  Anyways - we dropped him off & did a small bit of shopping.... then back home.  We didn't have a massive amount to do, and - to be honest - I wasn't feeling 100%... so, it was going to be a quiet day.

It was certainly that - as the day went on, I became sicker & sicker - and - after a short visit by the Elder Missionaries, i headed to bed....... and I eventually got up late on Sunday afternoon !!  Believe me - it wasn't thru' choice !!  I don't remember too much about it.... just the odd bits, tho'... I do remember feeling like total c**p !!

Anyhoo - that was the weekend.... and, following a very horrid night, I decided to get up relatively early this morning & sit here - watching a recording of yesterdays "moto" events & staying in the warm !! Now, that's a plan & I'm sticking to it.....

So - I'm sorry I've not posted for a couple of days..... but, I'm back now, so......

As mentioned before - we had a 'phone call from the Elders, in which they told us about the possibility of them having scabies !!  On Saturday, they came around - to explain what had actually happened....

It seems that, being very helpful kind of guys, they volunteered to help a family move house...... we think we know the people who they helped.... but, anyways.  It seems, from what we're told... that as they moved the furniture, they got completely covered in fleas !!  I kid you not.... they were not covered in scabies type bites & wounds - they were being bitten by fleas !!  How bad is that ?  It's really disgusting, in this day & age, that a house is so infested !!

It was only confirmed as fleas, when they both took showers (after that 'phoned) and the shower pan was covered in dead buggers !!  Honestly - it really is bad..... how can someone let their house get that bad ?! It doesn't cost the Earth, if you think you have some kind of infestation, to buy a bug spray & try & kill them !!

Anyways... that's why the Elders called off their Thursday night visit.... &, to be honest, I'm glad they did !! In the end, they completely steamed their apartment & washed all of their clothes.... which, I'm guessing, took them most of Friday !!

Help a neighbour break.......

Hi again... I've just taken an hour out, as our neighbour needed some help.  To explain....

It seems that a week or 2 back, there was an old photo of a local football team in the local newspaper & she wanted to know if we had a copy.  Well, as it turned out - we don't actually have the paper - but, with J's help... we were able to find a copy of the picture, via Google & we printed that out for her !!  She went away...  sooooo happy, it was unreal - it's good to help some one at least once a
day !!

Bless her !!  Why can't all our neighbours be as nice ?!  Luckily, it's school holiday time, this week - so, the NFH has gone away with her brat of a daughter.  Honestly - I shouldn't be so mean.... but, our little close is sooooo much quieter, when she is away !!

Onwards.... I mentioned J - who has now gone back to his Hobbit Hole, following his bit of help....... so, with ME at work - that just leaves B, who as I type, is at a meeting in the village.  As I've said before - she is on a little panel, to do with the Dr's & patient thingy, here in the village.  Well, about 2 hours ago, she went to the meeting & hopefully, she will be back soon...... I'm not sure exactly when !!

So - with everybody "out of the way" (I don't mean that in a nasty way) I'm playing a bit of Joe Bonamassa !! I've no clue where it's from.... as the guy who gave it to me didn't know !!  But - it's a 2 Cd concert & well good..... I'm guessing it's from an older show.... mainly as I've had it here, in the collection, for a few years now !!  It's pretty good tho'....... nice & loud !!

Tomorrow, I have a 1969 Zeppelin concert, from Boston... so, I will list that as I go along !! More tomorrow on that !!

If all goes well, I will have a live 2 Cd concert, from the American band W.A.S.P..... I asked for it a while ago, and as far as I know, it's been in the post, over the weekend, so I hope it might get here
today !!  That would be good - something different to listen to !!  It's always good to get more Cd's in the post !!

I forgot to mention... well, sort of mention.... As I said, the Elders came over on Saturday.  Well, as we didn't get to Church yesterday, they came over to see us, again, last night.  Not only did they give us the Sacrament, they brought us some very sad news.....

The Elder from Spain is leaving us, today, to move to another area !!  That is kind of "gut wrenching" for us - we've got to know him so well, over the 12 weeks he has been here & we will really miss him !!
However - if all goes well & we are allowed to go to Temple, he has agreed to meet us there & come in with us...

As I keep saying, I'm not certain we will actually be allowed to go to The Temple... but, if we are - he has agreed to come along with the 2 of us & (if you like) "be there" for us..... that would be cool - he really is a nice lad !!  We will miss him sooooo much !!

Anyhoo - the new Elder will be here - in our area - today & we have arranged to feed all 4 of the Missionaries on Saturday evening.  The sisters are coming as well - so, if all goes well, we will have a great night with them all.......

We've grown so close to the 4 of them.... we will miss all of them, when it's their turn to move on !!  Just like we've missed all of them, over the years..... but, hopefully, one of the best Sisters in the World, will be here in a week or 2..... and we get to meet R, her husband & tell him all the "gory details" of how we were brainwashed into The Church !!  Ho-hum.... only joking guys !!

I've just been to the front door - to let 2 of our cats in...... the sea, in the distance, is really looking blue & calm today !! Better than the East coast of America, I guess !!  Which is a big shame for all involved - especially our friends, who have gone to New York, this week, to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary !!  It's one they are going to remember & that's a fact.... should of checked the weather forecast guys !!  But - I hope they are having fun...... !!

Ok - my plans for today...... I have to kick back & rest - I want to clear my woes out of the way, rather than be poorly for the rest of the week !!  It's not been a fun weekend - so, the quicker it settles down, the better !! So - with Joe B blasting away, in the background - I thank you all for logging in & taking the time to read my words.... until next time...

Bye Bye
