UFO @ Knebworth 1985... and other stuff !!

Well.... Greetings !!

It's another Friday & - apart from Archie - I'm truly "home alone" today !! As mentioned before... I think... the rest of the Clan have gone over to West Wales, to take J to Uni. They packed the car up & left, somewhere around the 11 or 11.30am mark this morning..... so, as I say - that just leaves Archie & myself to look after the fort.....

J is going to study at Aberystwyth Uni - doing something about computers & what have you... so, as my "Number 1 Son" I wish him well...... Hopefully he'll have a great time.....

To see them drive off, in ME's car this morning - you would think they were going off on some kind of round the World trip - the amount of stuff packed into the car !! Oh well.... as I say, I wish him well & he knows where his home is, should he feel the need to come back !!

So - what does one do, when left "home alone"... Well, that's simple - I turn the music down to deafening & kick back !! How else am I suppose to spend the day ?! Ok - I could get around to do a bit of the housework... maybe just a small bit, to help B out. After all - she has a multi hour round trip today... so, I'll try & tidy up, a little bit, after I finish writing these words to you, my dear readers !!

I see that quite a few of you, from the East of Europe have logged in, over the last few hours. As always, I thank you for your time !! I would be interested in what types of music you guys listen to - so, if you feel the need, you can always drop me a line !! I would be only too pleased to hear from you !!

As for my music of the moment... well, it's part of a 6 disc box set, that came yesterday, by the very underrated UFO !! It's called (I think) 'UFO On Air At The BBC 1974-1985' and.... at you might have guessed, features various concerts, recorded for the Beeb...... more or less, one concert per disc. I think there is an odd  track taken from studio sessions, but - to be honest - I've not looked at it too much, so far !!

I really wanted it, for disc 5... which features their Knebworth concert from 1985. They were on the same bill, supporting Deep Purple. I have nearly all of the performances from the day, except The Scorpions... who, for some reason, didn't want their show
broadcast !! Oh well....

The tracks on this disc are:

1) Blinded By The Lie
2) Heaven's Gate
3) Wreckless
4) Love To Love
5) Night Run
6) Only You Can Rock Me
7) Lights Out
8) Doctor Doctor

It's quite a good selection of live stuff.... Ok, some of the tracks are repeated... but, what the heck - the price was right !! Along side the two 5 Cd sets, which I picked up a while back, I have a good cross section of their stuff now, so that's good !! Hey, it's all music..... !!

Going back to this morning - well, just a few hours ago, before the guys left... two of the nurses came to do my back dressings, again !! Things didn't go quite sooooo well today.... it hurts like crazy, when they do the dressing anyway... but, today - for whatever reason, the sticky stuff seem to be stuck on, just that little bit worse than
normal !! Nevermind - each time they change it is one less time & the closer I get to having the whole back healed up once & for all.

I'm not sure just how long it's going to take to finish - healing - but, I am getting, just a little, fed up with it all now !! Oh well - I'm going back to the hospital, to see the nurses in there, plus (I think) the Consultant who did the original surgery.... all those months ago !! Hopefully, they will be able to give me a better idea of what & when thing are likely to do !! Time will definitely tell on that one !!

Right - the UFO Cd is about to finish & looking around the room, I think I better sign off soon & get started on my bit of housework !! Where I'm going to start - well, that's another thing.... probably, in the far corner & work this way !! I'll see how my back holds up - and how tired I get !!

For now tho' - I must away... I thank you all for taking the time to log in & read my words... until next time...

Bye Bye
