A waste of time...

Greetings Worlds !!

It is me again - reporting in from the wilds of England.... for once, it's not raining !! It's just a little cooler. I think B said it was a bit frosty, when ME went off to work this morning..... I don't know, I was fast asleep at that time of the morning !!

So - how has your day been ? I hope my German readers & those of you who log in, from all around the World are doing fine !! It's going to be February soon..... and that's one month closer to the Summer months !! Hoping of course, that we actually get any Summer to
enjoy !!

As you well know - I spent most of the last Summer, stuck in the blooming hospital...... the closest thing I got to a Sun-tan, was the heat coming thru' the windows, beside my bed !! Hopefully, things will be better, this coming few months & we can have a little break, away from home...... I'm not holding my hopes too high, but it would be good - just to go away on a couple of trips !! We'll have to see how things go....

Back to the family.... ME, is at work this morning. She'll be home late afternoon-ish - but, I think she said she is having this weekend off... so, hopefully, she will get a bit of a rest !! Anyhoo - with the munchkin at work, that just leaves B & I, here at home.

We have been having "fun" putting up a frame thing, around my side of the bed. It came with "easy to fit" instructions - yep... easy for them to write maybe, certainly not that easy to read or use !! Nevermind - the frame has now been put in place..... so, it should stop me falling out of the bed !!

For some dumb reason, since coming out of the hospital, last August, I have fallen out of bed twice..... which has not been good for my back... or my general state of health !! It's not far to fall - but, being dead asleep... then woken by the sudden "thud" of hitting the floor - well, that ain't so good !!

It has given me a new party trick tho' - which I've mentioned before - I have no feeling, at all, in my lower right leg, so that's a bit of fun !! Oh well - back to the family....

Who really just leaves J - who is over in Wales still doing his Uni course. Hopefully he is doing Ok.... it's his birthday next week - so..... I'm sure the birthday gifts will be making their way to him !!

As form me.... well, I'm typing these words - listening to Queensryche's 'Anybody Listening' track, from (I think) their 'Empire album..... now, that I think about it - that's an old album !! Still good tho' !!

It's just another track on the tapes, that I've mentioned before. I'm really glad I started to play them first, rather than going straight ahead & recording them onto Cd !! So far, I have had only one track, that I've not found on Cd here, in our collection !! That was/is AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck'...... I thought I had it here, some place - but....
nope !! I'll get hold of a copy..... at some point in the future !!

ME helped me out, last night... by digging out Bon Jovi's 'Slippery When Wet' Cd...... to explain.......

I played the tapes, yesterday & the track 'Wanted Dead Or Alive' came on....... and, despite hunting high & low for it, I couldn't find a copy anywhere !! I knew I had bought the album, at some point - but - I couldn't find it.... then ME came home & said I had given it, to her !! So - that was that little problem solved & I now have the Cd here, beside me. The tracks are:

  1) Let It Rock
  2) You Give Love A Bad Name
  3) Livin' On A Prayer
  4) Social Disease
  5) Wanted Dead Or Alive
  6) Raise Your Hand
  7) Without Love
  8) I'd Die For You
  9) Never Say Goodbye
10) Wild In The Streets

The Cd has an extra track on it... which is just an enhanced Cd video or something, of 'Wanted Dead Or Alive'..... not exactly anything Earth shattering !! I'm not exactly a Bon Jovi fan... which would explain why I gave the Cd away, in the first place !! Oh well.... nevermind !!

I'm not sure which album, if any, I'm going to write about, today...... nothing is coming to mind !! Maybe later... The tapes have moved on, past Queensryche & onto a couple of live tracks, by Ozzy Osbourne !! Now then, that's a bit of a surprise - I didn't expect this at all !!

The tracks are:

1) War Pigs
2) Crazy Train
3) Paranoid

I think they are from one of his Wembley shows, way back when.... great stuff !! I was playing Sabbath's 'Paranoid' 3 Cd set, last week... that was great fun - tho' (I'm guessing) not to everybody's taste !! This was definitely a nice surprise.......

I often wonder what you guys are listening to.... come on guys, send me an update !!

Back to the hospital....

As mentioned before, I saw a plastic surgeon Consultant, a week or two back, and we didn't get on very well, at all !! Anyhoo - in the post, yesterday & today, I've had letters come, for follow up appointments, with him. ?! What is the point of seeing each other again - he said he wasn't going to help, so why waste each others time !?!

One of the letter really p**s*d me off - because it was to see a dietitian !! That has really got me.... when I've seen two Consultant's, both of who are happy with my diet, why should I go back to seeing the girls from that department ?! It sucks - especially when I've seen them, almost daily, while I was in the hospital & they were happy with me !! Honestly.....

I will probably get into "trouble" - because I've cancelled both of the appointments..... my regular guy might not like that, but what the heck.... after 8 months of this crap, I don't want to be messed around any more !! Moving on.....

I'm just playing Zeppelin's 'Riverside Blues' - I seem to be playing a lot more Zeppelin, over the last week or so !! Not that that's a bad thing.... but, sometimes I go months with-out playing anything by them..... oh well, it's a good place to end on....

So - I thank you all for logging in & thank you for the time you take to read my words... until next time...

Bye Bye
