Rush, Gov't Mule & A Rest Day.... Ho-hum

Greetings World's !!

I see, from the frost, that was on the cars this morning... well, it's getting colder out there !! Not that I'm going very far today - I just want to find a safe place & stay there.... the pain, in my back is getting to the point where it is far from fun, anymore !!

I know, as it's a Sunday - we should be considering getting ready for Church... but, as I've not really been, since last May - well, even allowing for the pain issues, I don't really feel like attending anyways !!

Nevermind - the family !!

Well....... as I type, B is in J's room, doing some cards & stuff - since J has now moved (for the time being) over to West Wales B has turned the room into a craft hide-a-away !! She can go there & just craft away, to her hearts content !!  Don't worry J - it's still your room... with your bed all there, ready for your return.... it's just got a second use, at the moment !!

ME - well, she's doing a night shift, tonight... so, she is trying to get some sleep. I'm not sure how successful she will be, the NFH was really loud earlier, so.... it was enough to wake me up - so.... !!

Oh - well -that's the family.... I'm not sure where the cats are.... I know we had 3 of them on our bed, when I woke up, but..... I think B let them all go out !! I know it's cold out there - but, it's dry... so it won't hurt them, to be out & about !!

The music of the moment... well, at this very moment, I'm playing Cd two of Rush's 'Clockwork Angels Tour' live set... I'm pretty certain that I wrote about it last week..... I'm still trying to get my head around the "newer" stuff, from the last album ('Clockwork Angels') which I don't know that well.

As the 'live' set contains a heck of a lot of that album, I decided to give it another listen this morning !! It's really good - but, as yet, it's not got that "sing-a-long with Rush" feel to it !! It will grow on me - I know that... but, being stuck in the bloody hospital, all thru' the Summer months, I didn't give 'Clockwork Angels' the listens it deserved !!

My main plan, today, is to label up some more of the Cd's that are stuck in front of me !! They all have written labels, so I know which are which - I just have to spend a bit of time, using the printer, to give them a proper job.... so, we can read them end on, when they eventually get to their homes on the shelves !! Oh well....

Yesterday, B & I went into town, just mainly to do a bit of "food shopping" and also - as I'm doing a fair bit of printing, some spare ink cartridges. I hate it, when I'm in the middle of doing some artwork - then, with-out much warning, the blooming  printer runs out !!

As we were parked right outside of the ink place, I decided to walk... rather than use my chair - from there, we walked a little further, to a pet store, to pick up some supplies. Now, in practice - a short walk should do me a World of good...... boy, was I ever wrong !!

By the time we got home, I was completely knackered - I went straight up to bed & spent the rest of the day & night tucked up safe & sound !! So sound, infact, that B thought I was mad at her.... far from it... !! I was just doing what I normally do, when the pain gets too much, I go into my own little World - my "bubble" as the nurses used to call it, while I was in hospital !!

I wasn't mad at anyone...... I was just completely out of it !! I've said a "sorry" to B, about it, this morning.... but, going into my "bubble" is the only place, where I know the pain won't overwhelm me !! It's hard to explain... but, it's all I got !!

I was sooooo out of it - I actually missed the 'Dr Who' special 50th anniversary episode, that the BBC broadcast yesterday !! Thankfully, I had the prescience of mind to pre-programme it all, into the DVD player - so, thankfully (I think) it was all recorded !! I've not checked it completely - but, I'll probably look at it later, just to make sure !!

I know it's being repeated, later today.... so, I might just do a second copy.... just incase, sort of thing !!

Back to music - I've changed Rush, over to Gov't Mule's 13-4-96 show..... which was recorded at the fantastically named 'Elizabeth Reed Music Hall' in Macon GA !! That's a brilliant name for a music venue - it really is !!

The Cd - the one I'm playing - is from the 6 Cd set 'The Georgia Bootleg Box' - which I had, in the post, last week.... you can buy a copy, of your very own, from 'Hittin' The Note'..... it's a great site, to pick up anything Allman's related !! There is a free plug for you Lady V & Sir J !! No really - check out the site - it's well worth a visit !!

Hopefully - again.... I say, hopefully.... I will have some more music, in the post, this coming week !! I ordered some stuff, thru' 'Play.com' nearly 2 weeks ago.... actually, it was over 2 weeks ago.... anyhoo - I'm still waiting for them to get here !! One of the Cd's - the s/t to 'Vikings' TV show, was supposedly posted, 2 weeks ago today, it's taking far too long !! Not to worry - I've given them a very "negative" bit of feedback !! I know you don't have to - give any feedback at all.... but, when stuff takes this long to be delivered, well - it kind of stinks a bit !!

I know, from experience - after the stuff arrives, the site will give you chance to change your "feedback".... but, I won't be doing that, this time around !! Heck - they've had my cash - so, give me my Cd's.... it doesn't take that long to get stuff in the post.... oh well !!

Well - I better get on & do a bit more printing, to see if I can tidy the mess on my table up, just a shade - then... well, after that, I don't really know what I'm going to do !! It's going to be a "rest day" so to speak. I'll probably record the motor racing, a little later, so I can watch that back, tomorrow.... but, apart from that - I don't think I will be doing very much at all !!

I thank you all, for not just ready my words - but, for taking the time to log in & stuff !! Maybe one day, just one day, I'll write something worth reading.... until next time...

Bye Bye
