More moans about temple !! Ho-hum....

Greetings Worlds...

Do any of you reading this hate answer phones & the whole "You are number 29 & your call will be answered shortly".... only to wait on the 'phone - for what seems like hours - & be told the person on the other end can't help you, because their computer is down !!

If their computers are "down" surely they could have a message, when you 'phone thru', that tells you this - so you don't waste half your life waiting !!  As you can tell - that is today's pet peeve !!  Onwards....

Hi... how are you all this fine & bright day ?!  Well, it's bright here.... which is kind of good - as it's been raining for most of the night !! Hopefully it will stay dry for the rest of the day.  I say this, mainly as B & ME have gone out, visiting B's Aunty...... so, if it's dry, it will be a better journey for them !!

They have only just left - so, they won't be home for quite a while yet........ tho', as ME has a rotten cold, they might come back sooner, rather than later - time will tell on that one !!

So - with the ladies of the house out... that leaves J here to keep an eye on me... to make sure I don't get into any trouble.  "Me - in trouble ?"  Very unlikely...... I'll probably land up back in bed, at some point... as I said above, it's been raining all night & as such, I didn't get too much sleep !!  Never mind.....

There were some interesting things, happening in town yesterday...... We have this tidal river, running thru' the place & with the 'Spring tides' over the last couple of days, the water has come up, over the walls & flooded the park area .  I don't think any houses were involved - but, the water left a mass of c**p on the grass...... oh well.....

I didn't get chance to post anything yesterday....... to explain.

I had an appointment, to go to a new clinic (well, new for me) & see a really nice lady.  It was meant to be a short visit, but landed up being over an hour in length !! It was a good visit tho' & I have to go back again, next week.... at the same place & time.  It's a little ways out of town, but.... if it help's, what the heck !!

In theory, I don't 'have' to go back - but, it will help... so, I'm happy to see the thing thru'... as best as I can, at least !!

Anyhoo - that took up a bit of the morning & afternoon... we then went back to town & met up with J.  ME had come with us... which was good - as she looked in on some friends, while I was in the clinic thingy.  She took B with her, so that ate up some of their time, while they waited for me !!

After we had been to the bank - paid some bills & done our shopping, the afternoon was all used up.... In the evening, we had a visit from one of the guys in Church, again, about a proposed visit to The Temple... and that was the day gone really !!

It wasn't the most hectic day, I've ever spent - but, the time went by too quickly & after the guy had gone, I was ready for my bed !!  Too tired to do anything else !!  Never mind... that was yesterday.....

Today - well, later this evening, we're having 2 more visitors.  This time, the Missionaries are coming around - again, to talk & teach us about going to The Temple.  I'm still not 100% convinced we'll be going....

... I said to the guy, last night, it would be good to know "now" - if we're going to be allowed to go - because, if after all these lessons & visits, it would be a big waste of everybody's time, if we're not going to be allowed !!

But - that's out of my hands & down to those above us........ but, I'm not convinced that we'll be going !!

I won't go on & on about this today... but, it seems like it's everybody else, who wants to have us there !! In fact, last night, when I told the guy, that I just wanted B & I to be there, on our own - with no one else, from our Congregation, he thought I was, or at least, it seemed to me, he thought I was joking !!  I'm not - it's our day... I don't want to share it with loads of over people !!

Enough, for now......

The music of the moment is the brilliant new Cd from Heart !!  It's called 'Fanatic' & it's well good.... It came in the post, yesterday, & I think I've played it 3 times already !!  Well good & worth your money, if you see it about the place !!

Before this, I was playing the latest Cd, in my quest to replace my old David Bowie cassettes.  This time around, it's 'Pinups' .  To be honest - it ain't the longest Cd in the World... clocking in at about 33 minutes (I think) - so, it didn't take too much to listen to it all !!

I've actually just changed the music, back to the soundtrack of the film 'Iron Sky'.  I watched the DVD again, last night... so - I thought I would give the music a go now !!  Give the Heart Cd chance to cool down a bit !!

I still don't have any Zeppelin concerts..... well, not for a while at least.  The band didn't do too many shows at this time of the year - well, none I've found on Cd as yet !!  There are plenty at the end of this month & on thru' to the end of the year - so, I'll cover those, as the days come around !!

Ok - my plans for the rest of the day.... kick back & chill out a bit, I guess !!  Hopefully, some new things will come in the post, so... I'll look forward to that.  The Therion Cd's are on the ways to me - but, they won't get here until next week.  Also, the special re-release of Peter Gabriel's 'So' album is due out on Monday - with 2 Cd's (I think) recorded live in Athens, in 1988.  The latter bit came out on an old video - that some jerk stole from me, a few years back !!  So - it will be good to get that again !!

By "stole"... well, I loaned it to the guy & he never brought it
back !!  It's people like that - well, they are the reason I don't loan too many of my things out to anybody !!  A few spoil it for the rest of us !!

Anyways - I better be on my ways.... nothing to do, but I've got all day not to do it, so... until next time...

Bye Bye
