Project '87 & a Sunday asleep !! Ho-hum

Greetings Worlds !!

How has your been, so far ?!  It's another Monday, here in old England.......it's quite warm, but - as B just left - it's trying hard to rain.... never mind !!

B has gone into town, to do a bit of shopping & take in a gym class of some sort.... I think that's about lunch time, so she'll be home a little later.  J is here, behind me, packing away the kitchen stuff - dishes & what have you..... which leaves ME, who is - once again - working today.  I think she has one more day to do & then she'll have a break of some sort.

A week today, we are going up to Bristol, for her graduation ceremony....... that seems like it's been a long time coming around !!

It seems like ages, since she finished at Uni & the ceremony was just around the corner !!  Now, a few months later, it's finally on us..... It's being held at the Cathedral, in Bristol, and - well, I don't know what time it starts, so... it's going to be a long day !!  But - even with all of that, I'm still looking forward to see our little girl get her degree certificate !!

I'm really proud of her.... I really am !!  She will always be my "little girl".... but, she has come sooooo far over the last few years & it's all been her own work, bless her !!

The music of the moment is a track, by Don McLean, called 'Crossroads'  -  my Lord, is it ever depressing !!

It's on the first tape of 42, which became my first project tape, in 1987..... it's now moved onto Cheech & Chong's 'Basketball Jones'... much better !!  There are so many tracks, on these 42 tapes.... there will be some "low" spots... but, it's all music, so worth listening to !!

As for what I mean as a "Project Tape"... read on.......

On New Year's day in 1987, I decided to record one track or piece of music, onto a tape, every day & over the following 12 months, that's exactly what I did !!  It all started off, as a bit of a joke.... but, it grew & grew & became "Project '87" !!

I've done several since this first one....... and I only really thought about listening to it again, when the Missionaries came over & I pulled out another one.  That one has a big skeleton, playing a guitar, in the form of  a poster.... all good fun !!

I'm not sure if I've written this before..... but.... Last Thursday, a guy came to see me & tried to sort out things, that I would use around the house..... hard to explain really.... Anyways, as my health has got worse, over the last 12 months... it's been decided I should have a stair lift !! I'm not sure how it works, never having used one before, but..... it seems like, I sit on the thing & it goes up (or down) the stairs, to help me get around... all very weird !!

I do struggle going up & down the stairs.... and to be honest, we could really use a bungalow.... but, as that isn't likely to happen, a stair lift seems like the next best option !! Maybe.. just maybe.. I could "pimp" it up a bit, put a little class on the thing !!

If nothing else, I'm guessing ME will enjoy going up & down on the thing - when ever it gets put in.... which won't be for a while at
least !!  I'll keep you posted on how thing goes !!

Talking of post.... vaguely speaking. I'm still waiting for the Therion stuff, that I ordered on November 1st !!  It's stupid !! I'm convinced that, even tho' they said it was posted on November 6th, that was just a lie - and in real terms, they never posted the 2 things !!

If they can sit on the customer's cash for nearly a month, before posting out the Cd's and stuff, it's money they're making everyday.  When the customer - like I did - moans, because the package hasn't arrived, it's then they send it... claiming it was "lost in the post" !!  Yeh.. right !!

Now, given that I moaned a week ago..... if they posted it, as they said they would.. it should reach me today !!  I don't think that's going to happen - tho'.. it just might !!  I will let you know...

Ok... my plans for today.  I have to go down & see my local Dr this afternoon.... to get a follow up, to the X-rays I had taken a while back.  Hopefully, they will show something he can sort out, for me !!  I hate it, when there is something painful & they don't know what it is, or how to treat it !!  Never mind... I'm sure the pills & potions I have here will help !!

I'm not sure if anybody is coming to see us today.... that is to say, I'm not expecting anyone !! The Elders did 'phone yesterday, to see how I was & offered to do the Sacrament for us..... but, as I may have mentioned above.. I was in bed & asleep, for nearly the whole day !!

I needed the down time... but, it's a shame we couldn't get to Church... but, it's nice to know, they were thinking about us !!  Oh well.... I better be on my ways....

The music of the moment, from the same tape as before, is now 'Heavens On Fire' by Kiss..... it's got a beat & you can dance to it... thank's Marty !!  I will away... until next time...

Bye Bye
