Live Gothic & Peter Gabriel

Greetings Worlds !!

How is your bit of the Internet Universe treating you today ?!  I've only been out of bed, about an hour I guess - so, I'm just settling in..... the computer has warmed up, the music is turned down to deafening & all is good !!

I've not been outside, as yet, but it looks very misty out thru' the window..... B has gone into town, to her monthly carer's group meeting... as she left the close, she had to put her lights on - it was obviously too misty to drive with-out them today !!

Anyhoo.... as for the rest of the family.  J is here looking after me & ME is at work again today.  I sometimes get to say goodbye to her, in the mornings, as she leaves the house - but, i was too out of it today.... so, I'll see her later.

The reason, for the above, was simply down to having taken a pill, at about 4am this morning !!  To explain....

I had to go to the clinic, yesterday... and all went quite well.  the 'new' lady I'm seeing is really good - great infact.... but, at about 3 this morning, I woke up - thinking about the meeting - and I couldn't get back to sleep.... so, as I say, about 4-ish, I came down the stairs & took another pill.... that knocked me right out !!

As it was - I woke up about 7.30 & thought ME had overslept.... I was wrong, she was at work & it was me who had missed the "wake up" alarm at 6am !!  Never mind......

I was tired out tho'..... not just the clinic yesterday, but from a visit from our friends from the Church, who came over last night.  They were here until after 9pm & I was really washed out, by the time they left !!

Never mind - it was a great visit & we were told even more about the chances of our going to Temple..... which I still don't think will happen !!  Why ?... Well - I don't know really - I just don't think it's going to happen..... One thing I don't like, about this whole thing.... nobody seems to be taking into account what we feel, or want for that matter !!

We're being told what is expected of us - before we're allowed to go to Temple..... but, not one person has asked us what we expect from the Church, before we make, if we're allowed, to The Temple !!  It all seems very "one sided" at the moment.... and, hence, I don't think it will happen !!

Time will tell.... but, even now, I'm not holding my breath !!

Today - or tonight, the Missionaries are visiting... so, that will be fun.... they really are great guys !!  It will be sad to say goodbye to them, when it's their turn to leave our little area.  I'm not sure what time they are coming over... hopefully, not too late !!

Ok... over to the music of the moment... which is really loud !!

As I type, I'm playing a 2 Cd live set called 'Live Gothic' by a group called Therion and apart from what I'm listening to, I know absolutely nothing about the band !!  I saw a video of them, on the net & decided to pick up this live set by them..... so far,,,, well - it's a bit different to what I usually play - but, being a fan of Nightwish & Within Temptation... it's not too far "off the wall" as far as my likes go !!

I need to give it more time, to get used to what I'm hearing... but, so far, I'm more than happy with it.... especially as it came with a DVD of the concert... so, I can watch it, as well as listen to the Cd's !!  At some point, I'll try & find some of their studio recordings.... but, not for a day or two !!

The above came yesterday... along with the 25th anniversary 3 Cd set of Peter Gabriel's 'So' album... which I've been waiting quite a while for.  Not only does it have the re-mastered version of the studio album, but... as I've written before.... a 2 Cd live set, recorded in Athens, in 1987.  I've not played all of it, as yet, but it's pretty good..... and it replaces the old 'POV' video, so that's a bonus !!

Also, yesterday... I picked up another David Bowie Cd... this time it was his 'Heroes' album.... so, that's another tape replaced !!  When I will get around to listening to all of this music, well.... one day, I guess !!

Right, my plans for today... none at all !!

B is going to meet up with a friend, after lunch... so, I'll more or less have the house to myself all of the afternoon... so, I'm guessing the music will be blasting for a few more hours !!  I really need to put a few things into some kind of order... I seem to have Cd's all over the place again... not sooooo good really - especially as, at some point I'll wonder where everything is hiding !!

So - I guess, that's a kind of plan.... whatever I decide to do... I will away, for now at least... until next time..

Bye Bye
