Led Zeppelin 'Seattle 1977' Ho-hum...

Greetings World's !!

It's a Sunday, here in England & - really & truly - I shouldn't be at the computer.... I should be getting myself off to Church. However - as - at the moment & possibly, for the see able future - I am not welcome at our Taunton Chapel... well, I'm sat here, at this keyboard - listening to Led Zeppelin & wondering what the next week or so will have in store for me !!

First - The Family......

B is outside, doing some of the lawns, with our mower. J - who is over in Wales - used to do them, for her..... but - as I say, he ain't here !! ME - well.... she is working this morning. I'm not sure if she will be home later, or if she is going straight over boyfriend's M's place.

I do know, that - after today - she is on a weeks holiday. I hope - if all goes well, for the "M & M's" they will have some better news, on the house they have been trying to buy !! It's been a couple of months now, since they saw the place - however, the owner's are dragging their feet over the sale & time is going on !! Hopefully, this week, they will have some better news on the place !!

So - that just leaves me.

This time, next week..... well, I will be heading towards one of the Chapel's. I'm not sure which one, as yet, but...... I want to go !! Mainly as - if nothing else goes wrong, a week tomorrow, I have to be in Exeter, for my next surgery !! Yep - 7 days, from tomorrow & I have another operation in the pipeline !!

So - as I won't be able to attend our own Chapel....... I want to attend one of the others and - hopefully, there, I will be allowed to take part in The Sacrament. I don't know, if my plan will come together, but - at least I will give it a try !!

The last time, that I was given The Sacrament, I was in hospital, last Summer, in Taunton !! "Wow" - that was some months ago now !! At that time, two of the Missionaries came by & helped me. Since then - nothing..... a bit of a bummer really !!

The last time, that I attended The Chapel, in Taunton, was May 26th..... last year. At that time, The Bishop had me taken, into his office & - as I was stuck in my wheelchair - that's where I had to stay, until I was allowed out !! It was a case of Guilty, until proven innocent.... and I will NOT attend that Chapel again, until The Bishop comes to my front door & apologizes !! The guy was way out of line & I will not put up with shit like that........ !!

The powers that be, over in Utah, have told me, that I was not out of line & that I was allowed to enter The Chapel - it was The Bishop who was out of order, by keeping me in his office, against my wishes really. If he comes to the house & says "sorry" - that will be fine, but - I don't think that's likely to happen..... so, no more visits - for me, at least - to the Taunton Chapel !!

Anyhoo - I really want to take part, in The Sacrament, next Sunday...... mainly as I might be "out of  it" for a few months - if things go wrong...... again !! As long time readers will know, it was May 27th of last year, that I went into the hospital...... my last visit, well... that was yesterday !! My next one - that will be this afternoon !!

I'm still having my dressings changed, everyday - so..... the trips to the hospital are all part of that really !! No big deal - believe me - after nearly a year of this, going to & fro the hospital's, it's amazing what I get used to !!

Because I'm going back, into hospital, I'm trying to sort out some Cd's for a guy who lives just up the road. I promised to sort out a few spares, that I have, for him..... so, that's why I'm listening to
Zeppelin !! I want to check it out, make sure there are no big glitches on the things...... I hate it, when people give me Cd's that don't play, so.... I try & play things thru' - before I pass them on !!

The music of the moment is from Zep's Seattle 1977 concert..... I've listed the tracks, somewhere, before - so...... you can find them posted, if you want, on an earlier post of mine. Following this, I'm moving onto a fantastic 2 Cd set, from Pink Floyd's 'In Concert' programmes. One was recorded in 1970 - the other, the following year. The tracks are:

CD 1 - 1970

1) The Embryo
2) Fat Old Sun
3) Green Is The Colour
4) Careful With That Axe Eugene
5) If
6) Atom Heart Mother

CD 2 - 1971

1) Fat Old Sun
2) One Of These Days
3) The Embryo
4) Echoes
5) Blues

Both discs are brilliant..... it's a wonder why Floyd have never released them "officially" ?! Now, I would certainly go out of my way to buy those !! Come on guys, make a very old fart happy !!

Staying with music...... I picked up 4 albums by Asian Dub Foundation. "Why ?" Well, mainly as I have a DVD, from 1998, featuring the band, live in concert & I wanted to check out their studio stuff. The DVD only has a couple of tracks by them, so.... I wanted to hear some more !!

The albums are:

'Rafi's Revenge'
'Punkara'
'Community Music'
'A History Of Now'

I'll give them a listen, as & when I get chance..... I'm certainly going to put them on the Mini Egg - I can listen to them, in the car - or the bloody hospital, if I get stuck in there for too long !! Time will tell.....

Right - my plans for the rest of the day. Well - I have the hospital trip, to look forward to.... so, as I've done a bit of housework, for B (already) - I'm going to sit & listen to some more music & read my latest 'Game Of Thrones' book. I'm half ways thru' - at the moment, so I'm hoping to finish it off, before the end of the week. I can then take a "new" one, into the hospital, with me.

For now, tho' - I will be on my ways.

As always, I thank you for logging in & reading my words. The Cd has Zeppelin blasting their ways into 'Kashmir'...... on a good day, they really did rock...... !! Life was really good, back in 1977...... now, it's better still !!


Thank's everybody..... until next time...

Bye Bye
