The Dutch Woodstock.... Ho-hum.

Greetings World's !!

Another Monday.... and it's raining again !! Fantastic - nevermind.... B & I went into town, a couple of hours ago & missed getting too wet, so..... !!

As I type, My Wife & Dearest Friend is sitting about 10 feet away, to my left, doing some kind of cross-stitching thingy. It's one of her hobbies - so, as the heating is on, that's probably one of the warmest places in the house, at the moment !!

As for the rest of the family.... Well, long time readers will know, that our Son - J - is over in Wales, doing his Uni course. I've not heard from him lately.... but, as far as I know, that's where he is, at the moment. That just leaves our Daughter - ME - who was here, a while back, but she has now gone to work (doing a late shift) so, she'll be home later tonight..... by which time, I will be very asleep !!

As for me.... well, I'm having a bit of a quiet day, not that I would be doing too much anyways, to make it a busy day !!

As mentioned, B & my good self went into town, mainly to do some food shopping. Apart from that & a very painful trip down to the Dr's surgery, to get my dressings changed (again).... I've done pretty much nothing at all !!

In 4 days, it will be 10 months, to the day, that I had my first surgery (on my back) and - here we are, all these Moons  later & I'm still going thru' all the crap needed to change the blooming dressings !! I know - there are many many people worse off than me, but..... that doesn't really help when the lovely nurse does what she has to do !! Oh well..... life goes around & around !!

As for the music of the moment... I'm listening to 'The Dutch Woodstock' Cd's that came last week, or the week before - I can't honestly remember !! If you dig back, thru' my previous posts, you'll find a track listing for it....

It's let down by it's sound quality !! There are some great bands on the Cd's.... but, I've heard far better bootlegs & that's a fact !! Talking of which.....

Led Zeppelin are re-releasing their back catalog, this time around with a special edition of the Lp, plus a book (I guess) and some Cd's..... One of the Cd's is from a concert, recorded in Paris, in October 1969. That's not too bad.... getting everything that's there....

..... except, it's going to cost about £90 !! Sooooo - you can go out & complete your Zep collection, with a fancy box set - or..... you can just talk to somebody you know & they might give you a copy of the live show, for nothing !! It's been available, as a bootleg for a couple of years now..... and.... well, I'm all for buying official stuff & I will never advise any of you to to buy bootlegs..... but !! Nearly £100 for a collection of stuff that, if you are like me, you already have officially.... well, that means a lot of cash, just for one "bonus" Cd !!

As I say - buy the official stuff, but.... that's a lot of cash, which for me, would be for one Cd !! That's too much - even for my deep "must have in the collection" pockets !! You pays your money & takes your chance..... but.... !!

Ok - I must away..... but....

Before I go, B has told me off, for moaning about Mr Puck-tin & what he has done in The Crimea. Well, I've been watching a few hours or more, of the TV programme "RT" - which I think stands for Russia Today.... tho' - I'm probably wrong about that.

Anyhoo - I would recommend all of you, you watch that particular TV station.... maybe get some popcorn in & be totally amazed !! I've never in my life seen anything like it !! Well - maybe I did when I was a nipper, but seriously, give me a break !! How is it that all of the World says "Mr Puck-tin, you are wrong & you should pull out of The Crimea" - yet, the Russian TV station is broadcasting to the World, saying how it's the rest of the World that's at fault & how Russia is not the aggressor !!

Give me a break..... I know I'm old, getting grey around whats left of my hair, but.... !! How the newscasters can stand there, with a straight face & say the crap they do ?! As I say - give me a break !!

Mr Puck-tin you are wrong, what you have done is wrong.... and everybody, except you seems to know it !! Well - lets be blunt, you really do know it...... you just can't believe it !! Come on - give me a break - any bone you like..... it would give me something to take my mind off my various aches & pains !!

I will away now..... I've done my bit to aid the English & Russian friendship club. As always - I thank you all for logging in & reading my words..... until next time..

Bye Bye
