Greetings Worlds !!
It has been a wonderful few days..... I can not tell you how much yesterday has meant to me & how it has brought such a wave of happiness in our hearts.... more later !!
It's a Tuesday, here in old England.... the rain of the last few days has eased away from our little area & moved further North. If you're reading this - in another part of England - well, I wish you well... our little part of the Universe has been sodden, over the last week.... everywhere is sooooo wet & horrid !!
The next village along - well, you have to feel for them... they had a flood, and they were in the middle of clearing that up, and then the river burst it's banks, for a second time and their homes were soaked thru' again !! You had to feel for them !!
But - having said that.... one guy really p****d me off !! The film crew was in his house, as the water came in.... just a small bit at first, then it got worse. But, instead of trying to move things, out of the way, he just left his stuff to get wet thru' !! How mad is that - if there was a small chance of the water coming into this place of ours, I would be frantic, making sure as much as I could was put upstairs & out of harms way !!
Oh well.... each to their own I guess......
Ok - as type... I'm here on my own. B has gone to bed, with the a bad headache - which gets, from time to time..... and the guys have gone into town, to sort out some 'photo's, from yesterday..... to explain !!
After 2 years at college & 3 years at Uni.... ME has graduated !! So, yesterday... to attend the ceremony, we got up really early, got our "glad rags" on & headed for Bristol.... it started at 2 pm... but, they suggested everybody got there at 12 noon. It seemed a little early, but - once we were there - it all made sense.... Because there were so many people, graduating, they had to register (that they were attending) and collect their robes & hats.
From there we were allowed to all have our 'photo's taken.... "allowed" is the wrong word really... it cost over £60 to have them done, so.. we were only getting what we had paid for !!
Anyhoo... we got there early, and ME sorted her stuff out... and by the time we had had our picture taken, the queue was out the door & around the block !! By getting there as early as we did, we were able to miss out on all that waiting !!
We found our place - tho' they hadn't taken into account my wheelchair, so some chairs had to moved, which a nice member of the clergy help with and we waited for a short while, for it to start.
Why clergy ?.... well - the ceremony was held in the Bristol Cathedral & so.... there were members of the clergy there to help. I had never been in the cathedral before, but it was a wonderful setting for the whole thing... tho' - extremely cold !! At one point, B put her gloves on, it was that cold !!
Two mishaps did happen tho'...... my camera refused to work !! Bummer & after that, B's little digital couldn't really deal with the distance involved, between us & the actual presentation !! Never mind... one of ME's friends, who also graduated... well, her Dad had kindly offered us a DVD of the ceremony... so, we will have that, at some point, to look at & remember the day !!
Afterwards - we got quite a few pictures taken, so... ME & J have gone into town, this morning, to have them printed up - I look forward to seeing them !!
So, today... well, I'm full of good cheer.... to see my little girl graduate, to see her in her robes & sooooo happy, well - it has meant so very much to, not only me, but B as well !! I realised, probably for the first time, how "my little girl" has grown up & what she has achieved !! Bless her.....
The down side tho'.... poor B has got herself a migraine.... probably from over doing it yesterday & everything that went with it !! Never mind - she has gone to be, to sleep it off & rest up. I went in, to take her some ice water & the cat was keeping her safe.... so, she has company !!
So, anyways... that's the family...
As for the music... I'm listening to one of my old tapes, again. At the moment, it has a bit of Bach, played by, the then known, Walter Carlos. Since he recorded this, he had a sex change & a change of name, as well !! I kid you not - but, each to their own I guess !!
I just had a 'phone call, from a friend - who happens to live in Bristol - thanking me for some old Cd's I sent him. I send him things I no longer want & he sells them on.... it's a good relationship really - I send him stuff & he sends me things, which he knows I will like. it works well.....
There is no Zeppelin concert for today... well, not one I have at least... but, for what it's worth, I'm sort of watching the DVD that came out a week or so ago... It's on the TV, with the sound turned down. why ? I don't know really... it's just on !! Page is going thru' the whole 'Dazed & Confused' violin bow bit, as I type.... it was good, when I first saw him doing it 40 odd years ago... but, now... well..... Never mind !!
As for the rest of the day..... well, with B in bed, it's going to be a quiet one really. We were not thinking of going anywhere today.... but, with her headache, that's maybe for the best !! Oh yes, I forgot...
I had a nice little e-mail, from a lady in America. We read her blog & she wanted to see who we are, I guess !! Anyways - it was lovely to hear from you... we enjoy your posts - so, keep doing them !!
Plus - I have to write to Lady V... I've had a shed load of mail, yesterday & Sunday... so, I need to catch up a bit !! hi lady V... I haven't forgotten you... I'll write soon !!
For now tho'... I must be on my ways !! I thank you all for logging in & reading my words... until next time...
Bye Bye
