Archie & a "bad back night" !! Ho-hum

Hi everybody...

So - where were you, 50 years ago this very day ?! Being a Friday - I was home... I think my Sister was there as well, with one of her friends.... my folks, well - as I say - it was a Friday & they were making their weekly visit to my Grandmother's house.

I remember it was dark & cold outside - when the TV broke the news.... not having a radio in the car, my Mum & Dad didn't know anything about it, until we told them, when they came home... much later than night.

The news, of course, was the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I never met the man - and some American's I've know, say he wasn't a great President.... other's say he was one of the best, that America ever had !! You throws your dice & get a different result.....

But - 50 years on - I still know where I was, on that day.. do you ?!

Ok - it's another Friday, here in England. At the moment, I'm home alone - mainly as the ladies of the house have just gone into town, to pick something up. ME's car is in the "shop" (garage) being fixed up today..... so, with no car, B has been drawn into the "Taxi" service again !!

They'll be back shortly - in the meantime - with J still away at Uni... I'm here with the music turned down to deafening, listening to Dream Theater's 'Live At Luna Park' 3 Cd set set..... I'm not sure if I've down a track listing for this already... if I have, I'm sorry to have repeated myself !! Anyhoo...

It's taking a while - but, this album is gradually growing on me !! I'm not sure what it is - but, at the beginning, I wasn't too sure about it... it lacked something Dream Theater-ish... compared to their other 'live' albums - but, after several plays - it's gradually, slowly, but surely getting into my brain.... "Yep" - I'm really starting to like it !!

Just staying with music - well, sort of...

Last night, they showed some "high-lights" from this past Summer's 'Dr Who' Prom. It was shown, when I was in hospital - so, I missed the actual broadcast.... but, last night's show was really good !! I enjoyed it....

For those of you, who don't really know - or care - 'Dr Who' celebrates it's 50th birthday this weekend.... so, all week, we have had lots of "DW" type stuff...including some repeats of old episodes !! Those have been fun to watch over again........ last night especially !! They repeated the first 4 shows, back to back... so, I'm going to enjoy watching those... to see them again, after 50 years, well - that's got to be a bit special !!

I don't think Archie is too bothered tho'. As I type - episode 2 is playing quietly to itself, on the TV... and he (Archie) is dead to the World, on our couch thingy !! Oh well - next week, he is losing two parts of his anatomy.... it's that time of a young cats life, when he goes to the vets & come home a little less heavy, than he was !! Poor little thing.....

I didn't have a very good night, last night - with my back really hurting too much, to get any sleep.... anyways, young Archie did his best to keep me awake, chasing one or two of the other cats, around the house.... "Bless him" !! It's hard to stay mad at him - he really is a lovely kitten - even if he is a mad thing at times !!

Ok - my plans for the rest of the day... well, I must get on with putting some labels, on the Cd's in front of me.... they're starting to take over the table again !! That will take up most of my time... so, I best get to it, I guess !!

For now, I must away... thanks for logging in, I really thank you for your time... until next time...

Bye Bye
