Live 8 & our prayers....

Greetings World's !!

It's another Thursday - here in the wilds of England.... and, to be honest, it's not too bad a day outside !! The weather forecaster's got it completely wrong again.... so, I guess - now that we're almost time to alter our clocks - we are having our few days of Summer !! I hope not.... I want at least a week of dry weather, just to get out, into our garage & give it the once over !!

I have tools everywhere, at the moment, so.... I really want to get out there, empty the chest tool box & put everything I can find, back into some kind of order. I have one of those red, drawer type of boxes.... and, as I said above - it needs a good going thru' !! Oh well.....

B - who is in bed poorly, at the moment - has told me, there is a big house spider, living in among the tools..... so, I'll be on the look out for that one !! B hates spiders, so...... I better try & find it, before it takes over the World !! I've not been out there, into the garage, for the best part of a year..... so, it's going to be "fun" !! Nevermind.....

As I say - B's in bed.... where I've spent most of the last couple of days..... so, with ME & J both out, I'm down here, in the living room, playing some music, from 2005's 'Live 8' concerts...... which is kind of interesting...... who are all these people ?!

I'm not talking about the groups & singers.... but, who are the politicians, on the cover of the box ?! No - I'm only joking - but, there is a point to it.... my joke, I mean...

The politicians have mostly gone into some kind of retirement..... but, the musicians, for the most part, are still going strong !! I guess that says something about our modern World - where music is, kind of, Universal.... but politicians.... well, they come & go !!

At the moment, Stereophonics are playing 'The Bartender & The Thief' - it's bopping along nicely, out of the Bose !! I think REM are on next..... so, it can't be too bad... I'm more of a 'Live Aid' guy myself. It was certainly a one off - as is this, I guess..... but, more of the bands, that I like, played back in 1985.

Talking of bands, that I like.... The Allman Brothers have postponed a few of their New York concerts, due to Gregg Allman's poor health, at the moment !! Bummer !! Get well soon, Mr Allman.....

Just staying with music.....

I recorded a documentary, a few weeks back (I think) about the recording studios, in Muscle Shoals, in America, it was really good !! To see sooooo many great acts, talking about how they recorded their various records & so on. It was great, to see The Swampers (I hope I've spelt that right ?) a bunch of brilliant musicians, who backed so many of the singers, I couldn't turn it off !!

Of course, I really wanted to see the sections on Duane Allman & Lynyrd Skynyrd. But, of course - I'm bias !! It was a great documentary tho' !!

I've not picked up any new albums, over the last few days - mainly as I've been stuck in bed, sick - but (hopefully) I will have the latest Marillion disc soon. It's called 'Sounds That Can't Be Made' & it's got a hook in me, mainly as the first track is 17 minutes long !! Any band that starts an album like that gets my attention !!

When it gets here, I'll give you all a run thru'..... it might be crap, but.... !!

B & I had a smile to ourselves, yesterday... to explain !!

As written before, I have my dressings changed 3 times a week, here in the local Dr's surgery. Well, there are 2 nurses, who usually do the job - but, yesterday, one of them was away - so, her Husband did the deed !! Boy O' Boy - did he ever hurt me !! Sooooo - when we see his Wife again (maybe tomorrow) I'm going to ask her to not take any more time off..... I do not want her Husband anywhere near me again, I really can do without that kind of pain, thank you very much !!

I'm only joking of course - she needs her days off, after putting up with me !! But - I could certainly do with-out that kind pain, I really could !! Oh well, I'll have a little laugh about it, next time I see her.....!!

Back to the music.... Will Smith is on, doing a kind of spiel, hopefully he won't take too long, I need my music fix !! Nevermind.....

I won't moan too much today.... you all know my feelings, concerning Mr Puck-tin & his invasion of The Crimea. I hope the people of that area are safe & happy with what has happened, I know there are millions of people like myself, who realise that, what has happened, is unlawful & - to my way of thinking - totally disgusting !!

Before I go.... our prayers go out, to all of the people, who have been involved in the mudslide, in Washington state & all of those who have lost loved ones, not only there, but with the loss of the plane, missing for far too many days now. Our prayers are with you all......

Thanks for logging in, especially my reader in Russia..... until next time....

Bye Bye
