Pink Floyd - 'The Wall'.......

Well... Greetings (again) from the wilds of England !!

Now, you may have noticed, this is my second post of the day - so, stick with me & I'll try to explain what has been going on !!

As mentioned earlier - today is ME's birthday.... is now a little bit after 5.30pm & we have had a bit of a "party" for her - not much..... a special cake, in the shape of a "gummy bear" & some other stuff she likes. M (her boyfriend) was here as well.... so, it was a great afternoon !!

Having said that... J & I are the only ones still at home !! ME has booked a hair thingy, this evening.... so, she has dragged B off with her, to keep her company. Poor M, he left at the same time - whether he's going to the hair place... well, I don't know... but - it just leaves us  lads, home alone !!

B worked really hard, baking the cake... especially in the shape of a bear.... and, looking across at it, nobody actually ate any of it !! Never mind..... there will be plenty of time !!

Ok - it's now Monday evening & the music of the moment is Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'...... to try & explain.

As I've explained... too many times before... I am transferring 42 cassettes over to Cd. All of the tapes were recorded in 1987 and represent - in some way or another - the music & events, that happened during that year.

For every day of that year.... I recorded something.... music... and now - well, I've come across a cassette that is completely made up of Floyd's 'The Wall' !! So - I'm, sort of, in the middle of a bit of two puzzles.

(1) Why did I find it necessary to record a 2 Lp set onto the tape in the first place ... &.. (2) Now that I've found it - do I copy the tape, over to Cd - or, do I just insert 2 Cd's... actually from the official recording ?!

This probably sounds very dumb & extremely Nerdy - but, after taking the time to transfer something like 32 or 33 tapes, over to Cd's.... well, I'm at a complete idiotic loss, on what to do next !! Oh well - now I've taken the time to write all of this... it seems pretty dumb & - in the scheme of Earthly values..... well, it's really nothing to get my knickers in a twist over !! Onwards.... ever onwards......

Today, our only representative - as in someone who could vote - as far as picking the next Pope, has resigned !! I'm not a Catholic.... but, several people are now no longer going to have someone to cast his vote, for them !! By several - insert the whole Catholic Congregation of this part of the World.... probably because, the Cardinal involved, did something very wrong, many many Moons ago !!

Is the whole place going to pot, or is it simply because that's all I've seen on our news channels today !! I'm at a complete loss, as to why the Pope has decided to stand down, as it is..... but, now this Cardinal guy has resigned - well, it's nearly as bad as picking a M P, to represent you in our Parliament !! Oh well... good luck Your Holiness..... I look forward to reading the book...... !!

As mentioned earlier & on other posts.... I've been really feeling low, over the last few weeks.... it's no big deal, I go thru' phases, where things get on top of me & stuff like that. It all seems to be coming to a very pointed head, at the moment..... but, I will keep flapping my arms & we'll see what tomorrow brings !!

Which - thinking about it - is very true !! By this time, tomorrow night (all being well) I will have seen the 2nd of the Consultant's & I/we will have a much better idea about what is going to happen !! probably bugger all - but, you never know your luck !!

I've just printed out a copy of my CT scan, to take with me........ I know, why have I got a copy of my scan ?! Well - in a nut shell, because I wanted one & the Consultant printed one up for me !! I then put it onto my computer & that's what I've printed, ready for tomorrow !! "Why ?".....

...... well, it's like this....

The last time I went to see the guy, earlier this month, I asked him to show me - on my picture - exactly where the problems actually are. But - because my print was better than the one he had (not including the computer images) he kept my copy & put it in my file !! It comes to something, when my little Epson printer gives a better image than the hospital's !! Anyhoo - that's why I've printed another copy..... hopefully the 2nd Consultant can talk me thru' the image & give me some idea's as to what I'm going to have done - if anything !!

J made an interest comment.... He knows I have health problems, but to actually see a "hard copy" printed out... well, it has all brought things back into focus !! We'll see what happens tomorrow.....

If I have surgery... well, it will be an interesting few months ahead of us all.... if I don't have it - well, I've lost nothing, other than a couple of months of hope......!! It would be great if the Consultant's could help me - but, if not... well.... we all have to die sometime, all I will have lost (as I say) is a bit of hope. B is worried about it - more than I am - but, lives will go on & in 100 years from now.... well, who'll give a crap !!

Onwards......

Floyd's 'Run Like Hell' is playing at the moment, so the Cd's are close to an end..... so, that's my ticket off of the computer for tonight. B won't be home for at least another hour - so, I'm going to get myself off to bed..... something she helps me with, most nights... but, as she is out - I feel adventurous !!

So - I thank you all - again - for logging in & reading my words. I really appreciate the time you guys take, to read my stuff..... I thank you all, not just for logging in... but your kindness & in some cases, your prayers..... until next time...

Bye Bye
