Well Helloooooooo !!
How are you all doing this fine - very white day !! By white, of course - I'm talking about the 12 inches of snow, that is sitting outside of our home !! It's not that bad - tho - I did have to cancel two of my visits out, yesterday !! I couldn't get down the village - to see my local Dr - let alone go the 15 miles or so, to the clinic !!
The clinic lady, a very nice woman... did 'phone me, to say she understood - there was no way I could of got to her place..... so, I'm glad she 'phoned !! It's stupid really.... the main road, which they closed on Tuesday night, was sort of open.... but, here in the wilds (of the village) our car is buried !! Oh well....
But, I've been very proud of our Daughter... ME.... she went to work, overnight, on Tuesday - in Yeovil.... and got as far as the village, on her way home yesterday (where she had to leave the car) and then, repeated the journey, last night.... getting home this morning !!
Ok - so, her car in left, in the snow, in the village.... but.... she didn't "wimp-out".... and went for it !! The upside - if there is one.... is that, because her car is not stuck, in the white stuff... she & B (My Wife & Dearest Friend) have gone on a walk, to the car.... and, from there, are making a trip into town, to do some shopping & pay some bills & stuff !!
Me - I ain't going no where !! It's cold outside ("No kind of atmosphere") and I am not even going to try & go out in this !! Ok - if I had to, I would.... but, I don't really need to - so, I'm staying in the warm !!
This morning, the wheelchair man - who I might have mentioned before, 'phoned, to say he has a new chair for me... and would I like to see it, before he "pimps" it to my specifications !! So - I told him, unless he has a pair of snow shoes, skies... or friends in Santa's grotto... well, I would leave it for today !!
It's going to be a cool blue colour.... well, I'm not sure about the "cool" part - but, it's going to be blue... so, that's Ok !! I didn't want a red one.... I really do not want a red one..... "Yuk !!"
Ok - I've mentioned the ladies of the house.... that just leaves us guys at home.... I'm here sat, typing these words & J (our Son) is upstairs in his room. Like me - he doesn't want to go outside today.... tho' - he might walk Murphy (our neighbour's dog) later !!
The music of the moment... well, it's Dream Theater's 3 Cd live set.... 'Score' which came out a few years back now. I'm thinking about putting it on to the 'Mini Egg'.... but, I wanted to hear it a bit first. I've not played it, for a few months.. so, i wanted to give it a listen !!
It does have my "track of the day" on it tho'.....
It's the beautiful 'The Spirit Carries On'...... which, I hope will get played, or at least - the lyrics - read at my funeral !! I love this piece of music - the words, well..... try & check it out........ I'm sure it's on uTube or someplace !!
Oh - I'm sorry I didn't get to post anything yesterday.... I was just being a little lazy, I guess !! With all kind of things going on, I needed to do other things & concentrate my efforts on those things, for a while !!
I must thank my reader, in Russian.... or maybe "readers" in Russia.... you really have been logging in a lot lately, reading words.... I thank you for your time !! If you feel like it, you can always sign up, as one of my followers, or leave a comment or 2.... whatever.... It's good to know somebody is reading my words !! From all around the World now..... I thank you all !!
I mentioned the "Mini Egg" earlier.... the name given to my iPod thingy... well, I've put up wards of 5,000 tracks on it so far !! It's a totally brilliant piece of kit... and, being a Luddite, well.... it suits me fine !! I've stuck, mostly with 'live' tracks..... but, I'm having fun, putting all kinds of stuff on it !!
So - when the next surgery goes ahead... and, guessing I'm going to be stuck in the hospital, for more than a little while... I will have sooooo much stuff to listen to !!
B asked, if I don't go into the hospital..... what was I going to do with it (the Mini Egg).... well, if I'm that "well".... that I don't go into hospital, I will buy myself a docking station & blast the Muzak around the garage !! To explain....
I've wanted - for too many years now - to build another model railway. So - as the garage is too small for a car, I'm going to sort out some heating & get to work out there. IF this happens, I will need some music... and the Mini Egg sounds like just the right thing to
use !!
The only thing, that has stopped me, building another model, has been my health.... so, if I don't go into hospital & I well enough, I'll build a new one, out in the garage !! It'll give me something to do, in my "old age" and, I may as well, have music to listen to, while I'm playing trains !!
I've always said... if the guys leave home... that I would build a model, in one of their bedrooms... but, as that doesn't look like happening too soon.... I may as well go & use the garage !!
No - getting back to reality.... I am going into hospital, in the next couple of months or so, and I can't think - really - that I will able to enjoy building a new model......... so, I ought to stay with music & enjoy myself & be grateful, that there is always something new, to listen to !!
So - my plans for today......... Well, as it's so blooming cold, I'm going to stay in the living room, with the heating on... and listen to more music, well.... until the ladies get home, at least !! That sounds like a plan & I'm sticking with it !!
It's already January 24th - it's amazing how quickly the days have gone..... I must away... until next time....
Bye Bye
