Floods & Clinic...plus music of course !!

Greetings Worlds !!

How are you all doing this fine day ?  I'm Ok... and I'm in the house, warm & dry...to explain !!

Over night, we had some really heavy rain... it just kept going all night !! What we didn't know, this morning... well, until ME 'phoned... was just how bad it had been !!

She had spent the night, at M's house... then, when he went to work, she tried to drive home.  She got as far as the next village along - only to find the flood water had blocked off the road !!  B did try & go to rescue her - but, in the end - a policeman drove her car thru' the easier bit & she was able to get home....

This afternoon, I had to go back to the clinic... so, thinking the road might still be bad, we left earlier than usual.  Luckily, the worst of the floods had drained away - but, there were still places where the road was completely covered !!  Bummer !!

Anyways - after my hour at the clinic... we drove home & most of it has gone now... I'm glad to say !!  Tho' - we now have a new river, thru' a field on the outskirts of the village !!  I've never seen it that bad before.... !!

Yesterday - late afternoon... the guys came & put up the scaffold, around the side of the house, so they can start painting... The guys were wet thru' & freezing, by the time they had finished..... so, hot cups of tea were the order of the day !!

Interestingly, the scaffold work hasn't gone unnoticed by the NFH !!  I was on the bed, last night, waiting for B to get home.... well, the shouting  she was doing, about the iron work.... well, lets just say... she wasn't too pleased about it !!

I get the impression, that she thought we were going to have the builders in, to do an extension !!  Now, that would be fun - and I know she would hate that !!  Never mind - as soon as the painting is done, the stuff will be taken down & put away !!  Life will go on & on..... but, it's given her something to shout about !!

Talking of B & ME... they've gone back into town, to try & find some things, in one of the shops.  I did suggest that, as we were going thru' town, that they may as well go shopping then, but..... So, with the ladies out, that just leaves J & myself, home... no problems !!

I mentioned the clinic - it was my 5th visit.... it didn't take so much out of me today !!  Last week's session.... well, it really did knock the stuffing out of me !!  Today wasn't so bad !!  It's been decided, that I should have another 7 sessions..... which will take us, up to & beyond Christmas.... but, it's all good.  It has been hard, but I can see the benefits & that's a bonus - a good bonus !!

Next time, in 2 weeks... I'm taking in my 'Project '87' list.  You can read about what that is, on previous posts.... but, in essence, I'm taking the list in, as a musical diary - to see what I did... 25 years
ago !!

The music of the moment is from one of the tapes & features Yes's 'And You & I' track...... it's on tape 5 - so, only another 37 to go.... if I play them all !!

I played the Therion set, that reached me, yesterday...... it's well good !!  ME loved their version of the 'Babe' soundtrack music.... without looking, I'm not exactly sure, what it's called.... but, on the whole - it's a really good package !!

I had hoped that the last package would be here, today.... but, given what the roads were like this morning, I'm not convinced the post vans would of got thru' to do the deliveries !! Oh well - maybe tomorrow.... as I'm not going anywhere - if it comes, it will give me something to listen to then !!

Usually, on a Wednesday evening, we have 2 guys, from Church, come around.... again, check previous posts... but, last week, I asked them not to come this Wednesday.  I didn't know, at the time, that I wouldn't been feeling poorly this week..... but, I'm glad - with hindsight - that we called them off !!  I really do need to get a couple of early nights under my wings... to try & catch up a bit !!

We had a bit of "fun" yesterday afternoon.... As mentioned before, we help to look after the neighbours dog, Murphy.  Well, J let him out & before we knew it - he had bolted into our living room & left a trail of mud behind him, all thru' the place !!  honestly - it was really bad !!

B got down to it, with some carpet cleaner, and this morning... well, you can't tell there was a dog here, at all..... it was mud every where tho' !! Never mind !!

The music of the moment is Hendrix's 'Woodstock' trilogy.... the music that was on the original 3 Lp set. I have it here, on Cd now - but, 25 years ago... well, I was just happy to have it on vinyl !!

Right, my plans for today.... well, none at all, I guess....... I just want to rest up & enjoy a bit of music or TV - tho' I'm not really sure what is on the box tonight - hopefully something worth watching !!  Anyhoo - I must away... I thank you all for logging in - remember, I'm always happy to hear from you, if you want to leave a comment or e-mail !!

Must away... until next time....

Bye Bye
