Monday Monday... again !!

Well "Hello Everybody !!"

It's a holiday Monday, here in England  - which means the roads are mad & the sound of lawn mowers can be heard, no matter which direction you turn your head !! Our's included !!

J is home here with me - and is outside, trying his best to cut thru' the last few weeks of growth !! We're here, on our own again today..... ME is out with M & B has just gone heading into turn, to pick up some odds & ends. We would of needed some stuff, by today - holiday or no holiday - so.... she left a short while ago.

So - that just leaves me here - sat at the computer, listening to the Mini Egg (on shuffle) and trying to remember what else has been happening over the last couple of days. !!

Very little at all........

As mentioned before - we went down to the  May Fair on Saturday.... my arms, from pushing the wheelchair, back up the hill, are still aching !! That's about all I can remember of the fair !! Tho' - there was something - that, until we came home, I hadn't thought too much about....

I spent a while, talking to a guy from Church...... Now, normally, his Wife - well..... how shall I put this... she can talk for England, if you get my meaning !! Once you get talking to her - there is no way of shutting her up. However, B pointed out - on Saturday - she hardly said "Hello".... all very strange !!

There are quite a few, of the same family, all living in this area.... and, as best as we can make out - there has been a massive falling out, between them. So - maybe - as, she is part of that little situation... that's why she didn't say too much. Personally, I didn't notice on the day & - to be honest.... it's all up to them I guess !!

I've mentioned before... when I was in hospital, last December, one of the Congregation  upset B..... more than a little..... hence B hasn't been too keen on attending Church, at all, this year. Well - the lady who upset B, is one of the same family group.... so - I'm guessing it's all connected !! Nevermind....

I've just changed the music....

I'm now playing Barclay James Harvest 'Live'..... the 2 Lp set. I'm mainly giving it a play, to try & see if it will fit onto one Cd. It's quite good.... the tracks are:

Side 1

1) Summer Soldier
2) Medicine Man

Side 2

1) Crazy City
2) After The Day
3) The Great 1974 Mining Disaster

Side 3

1) Galadriel
2) Negative Earth
3) She Said

Side 4

1) Paper Wings
2) For No One
3) Mockingbird

I've played the Lp's several times, over the last month or so - I'm pretty sure I've actually timed them, at least once....... but, I'll give them another go !! My late Brother-In-Law had this, oh sooooo many years ago..... and I'm pretty certain, he gave me a tape of it - which his Sister took with her, when I became surplus to requirements !! Oh well - that was far too many Moons ago now..... life has gone on !!

As mentioned before - I ordered some more Allman Brothers concerts, last week. There are still 4, from this year, to still get... and, I will probably order them, this coming week. Plus, I've decided to treat myself to a few of their 2005 & one 2006 concert(s).

They have a track, on their last studio album, called 'Firing Line' and - as I don't have any live copies of it - I'm going to order up (about) 6 of the concerts, that feature it !! Hell - I'm only young once...... besides, they've been reduced in price, so.... I'm going for it !!

Hopefully, they will get here, before I go into hospital - if not, they will be here, for when I get home !!

I actually got around, to finishing (for now) the 'live' playlist... made up of Allman Brothers tracks, taken from their concerts... well, the ones I have here. It came out at 141 tracks... so far, and lasts about 23 hours, end to end !!

I'll add to it - if I get any different tracks, on the Cd's that are still to reach me....... but, it'll give me plenty to listen to, while I'm stuck in the place, after the surgery !! There are now, 28,082 tracks on the Mini Egg.... so, that's going to keep me going !! I know I won't listen to all of them.... but, that's not the point. I want something "different" to listen to - even if I'm only in the place for a week..... so, the more that's on the thing, the more I can listen to !!

I see my Consultant, on Friday of this week - and, if all goes to plan.... I will be going into the hospital, 3 week from today !! After waiting since December...... well.... it's all finally coming together !!

We're putting together a list - which I've probably mentioned before - of all the things we need to get, for my stay. Altho' it's still 3 weeks away - I want to have everything ready, in good time..... no last rushing around, trying to remember last minute forgetfulness !! It's all good....

B is going to give me a few lessons, on her laptop thingy. It's more of a iPad, with a keyboard... I'm sure it has a name, but... I'm buggered if I can remember what it it is !! Anyhoo - as I hope to use the thing, I'll need some tuition on the thing !!

I won't be using the Internet that often, during my stay... as mentioned before... it costs too much..... but, if I'm well enough, I want to try & keep up with what is happening in the World..... besides my daily newspapers of course !!

I can't imagine I'm going to be running around the place... so, if nothing else, I can play solitaire on the thing - or, as I hope, use it to re-charge the Egg, when it runs low !! It would be a bummer, after putting all of this music, on the thing, if it went flat on me...... I'm not 100% sure how long it will actually go, with-out a re-charge, but.... I don't want to find out !! I need my music !!

Ok.... back to the weekend... Once again, we missed Church. I was up for it - but, to be honest... B doesn't really want to go at the moment, so I'm not going to force the issue. She has said, she will take me, anytime I want to go.... but, there is very little point to that, if her heart isn't in it !!

I really want to go, at some point, over the next 3 Sundays.... so, hopefully, that will happen. If not - well, our lives will go on....

Back to today... well, I'v a few things to get on with, but nothing too exciting...... so, i will be on my ways. I thank you all for logging in & reading my words... it's great to know you're all "out there " .... until next time....

Bye Bye
