Curved Air and other old stuff.....

Greetings World's......

How is your bit of the Universe treating you, this fine day ?! As far as I can remember - it's a Thursday, so... what ever you do on Thursday's... I hope all is going well !!

As I write.... or should that be "type" ?...... I'm sat here, on my ownsome. ME came home from work, about an hour ago & has gone up to bed. She's not working tonight.... but after doing the last 2 nights & having a bit of a late run home, this morning... well, she decided to get a few hours sleep !!

there was a nasty crash, on the motorway, early this morning & that meant her usual rout was all blocked up.... bummer & the last thing she needed after a full night shift, bless her !! Oh well.....

As for the other Lady of the house... B, My Wife & Dearest Friend... well, she has had a busy morning !! As mentioned before - she had a dentist appointment today - plus a Dr's visit & a trip to the hospital.... to do a bit of physio on her hips. I'm not sure if I've mentioned that before - but, it's been an on going thing, so... I hope she will be home soon - tho' I have no idea what time any of the appointments were going to finish !!

So - with J at Uni.... not including the cats... that's the family !!

Well, apart from your's truly..... and my week seems to have gone by pretty quickly really !!

I had to skip my dentist visit on Tuesday, as I was really feeling like crap..... then, yesterday, I had to head back to the hospital, to meet up with the nurses & my Consultant..... all is going really well !!

It is with much pleasure - and a little bit of sadness really - that I can announce to the World.... Rover & I are no longer an item !! I'm not really sure how long I was connected to "him"... it must of been a few months I guess...... I'll check out one of my older posts - I'm sure I must of written about Rover.... when I was first paired off with
him !!

Anyhoo.... after nearly 5 months, the wound in my back, has healed enough, so that I no longer need to carry Rover around with me, anymore..... !! Believe me - altho' it will seem really weird, not having the hassle of carrying the bloody thing around with me, all of the time........ I was getting very, very pissed off with it all !!

Not only has the wound healed enough, for me to lose my little black friend..... I am now being set up to have plastic surgery, on my back - I guess, to actually fill in the "crater" that has been left, which (as far as I can make out) will not completely heal on it's own.... By that, I mean - if left - I will still have a really weird "hole" in my back !!

I was well happy, when the Consultant said he would refer me for the whole plastics thing... as it meant things were really moving along !! Believe me - after having this "problem" for most of the year...... to know there is an end in sight - well, I'm well happy !!

Even more so, this morning.... as I've already had a 'phone call, from the team.... and I have an appointment, with them, tomorrow afternoon, at 3pm !! Things are really moving along.... it's been a hell of a struggle & I have wanted to give up, on more than one occasion - as the nurse reminded me yesterday - but, if all goes well, I might actually get this all sorted out...... maybe by the end of the year !! Time will tell, I guess....

The actual plastic surgery - if it goes ahead - will take place in Exeter.... about 50 miles away...... then, hopefully, I will get transferred back to the hospital, in Taunton. I'll see what they say, tomorrow. I've no real idea on what is actually involved - so, it'll going to be something new....... another surgery to add to my long list !! I will keep you posted......

Anyways.... the music of the moment....

I might of mentioned this, earlier in the week.... if so, I'm sorry.... but, I'm playing Curved Air's 1975 'Live' album. I used to have it on Lp.... and now, thanks to modern technology, it's been re-released on Cd !! To be honest - this is the first time, that I've played it, all the ways thru'.... and, it sounds pretty dated !! Oh well - maybe that's just me......... the tracks are:

1) It Happened Today
2) Marie Antoinette
3) Back Street Love
4) Proposition
5) Young Mother
6) Vivaldi
7) Everdance

As far as I can remember - it's a straight copy of the old Lp... no "bonus" tracks or anything, which is a bit of a shame.... if nothing else, they could of put a couple of studio tracks on, to pack it out a bit, time wise !!

Right - I better be on my ways....... I'm expecting B home soon.... plus, sometime this afternoon, we have the sweep coming, to do the Chim, Chim Cheroo !! It's Ok.... I think it's the drugs wearing off.... until next time...

Bye Bye
