Hi Everybody !!
How are your bits of the Universe treating you today ? Are your planets turning nicely on the spot - mine seems to be doing cartwheels around my head at the moment !! Never mind... life is relatively good... so, I'm not going to moan too much about anything... well, not today at least !!
it's a bright & very windy Thursday, here in England... I've not been outside, but... as I look out the rec room window, the seagulls are sort of flying backwards !! They seem to be hovering in mid air - not their normal method of flying at all !!
Being bright... I can actually see the sea in the distance...I think the tide must be out, at it all looks very dismal over on the beach !! I miss the days, when I was more able to get about, walking along the beaches, near where we used to live !! Honestly, we could go from the house, get into the car & be on the beach front, all within 20 minutes !! "Ah.. those were the days".....
Ok... 'tis the the day after Boxing Day.... so, hopefully the shops - in particular, the supermarkets - have settled down a wee bit now !! Looking at the news, yesterday, you would think the stores were all going to run out of stuff !! It was only a 2 day holiday... not the end of the World !!
So - as the World didn't come to an end - 2112 & all of that - B has gone into town this afternoon, to pay some bills, put some cash away & try & pick up some odds & ends...... nothing too major, but I think M is coming over for tea tonight, so... I expect she'll get something special in for that !!
ME spent the night at his place (well, his folks place) and they will be home later on...... which just leaves J... who is up in his Hobbit Hole, probably on his computer. He is going away, for the weekend - so, I think he needs lifts into - & back from - the train station, over the coming days. Luckily, he is heading East... so, the damaged caused by the weather & floods, will not give him too many problems !! Time will tell.....
Anyhoo - how has your various Christmas celebrations been ? I know that some of my readers, well... you don't celebrate Xmas, the same way that we do.... but, I hope you've had a good few days, at least, since my last post !!
As for us, it all went really well.... lots of fun !! ME was working until 2pm, so she didn't get home until after 3..... so, they had Xmas diner a bit later than usual. Then, she was "Master Of Ceremonies" sorting out all of the pressy's under & around the tree !! Honestly, she still gets sooooo excited !! Hopefully she'll never grow out of that......
Everybody had a great selection of gifts... as for myself - i will be watching DVD's for months to come, I had so many !!
I think, knowing I'm having another surgery, in the "New Year" - it seemed like a good idea, to fill my stocking with as many things to watch, as possible - so, I can sit & recover, watching all the various goodies !! Having said, all of that, it's still not a certainty, that the surgery will go ahead - I will know more, on February 7th - when I have to go back to the hospital, for a visit !!
Oh - I forgot... the music of the moment is a 3 Cd set called 'The Best Prog Rock'. It came out several years ago.... but, as I was looking for stuff to - try - fill M's old Ipod thingy... well, it sort of jumped out, at me & I thought I would give it a bit of a play thru' !! I've just listened to a Yes track... now, it's onto Jethro Tull. I'm not sure, if I'll put it onto the pod thing.... but, it's been a fun thing to listen to... as I type.
Just sticking with the Ipod... so far, I've put on over 130 albums !! So - when I eventually go into hospital again, i will have plenty of stuff to listen to !! It's not all rock stuff... tho', I admit, I have really gone thru' all of the 'live' albums I could find. there are also some weird & wonderful tracks on there as well.....
If all else fails, it's full of stuff, that can be played thru' the kitchen's speaker system !!
Right - my plans, for today.... absolutely none at all !! I'm having a very quiet day - well, if you leave out the music... which, as normal, is blasting away... as per normal,. when I have the place to myself !!
I must away.... I thank you all for logging in & reading my words... especially my Russian reader, who has been enjoying him - or herself - reading my various things today !! You can always leave a comment... it would be great to hear from you.... until next time...
Bye Bye
