More Grateful Dead... over & over. Ho-hum !!

Greetings World's !!

How is your part of the Universe treating you, this fine - warm & Sunny - day ? I hope you are all doing good.... I see my Russian reader has logged in a few times, over the last week..... I'm glad you are still there !! I thought maybe - just maybe - I had lost you..... I'm not a great lover of Mr Puck-tin, as you might have already seen !! Oh well.....

It's another Wednesday, here in the wild South-West of England..... and, I'm home alone !! B - My Wife & Dearest Friend - has just gone off, to do a bit of shopping, with our Daughter, ME. I was offered the chance, to go along....... but, I didn't want to risk it.

To explain....

On Saturday, if all goes to plan, I want to head back down to Exeter. As I've mentioned before - it's a 100 mile round trip & that, on it's own, knackers me..... it really does !!  So, as I want to do the trip, on Saturday, mainly to go to a record fair.... I didn't want to go shopping today, incase that takes too much out of me !!

The ladies are heading up to Weston-Super-Mare and ME did tempt me, with a trip to the Cd store, that's there.... but, I just couldn't be bothered - plus, as I say.... I didn't want to be too out of it, on Saturday !!

ME was here, yesterday..... which was nice. I knew she was heading over to us.... but, I completely forgot !! Nevermind...... it was great to see her again !!

As for the other member of the family, our Son J.... well, we have offered to go & fetch him, for the Summer.... but, he still hates my guts & wants no part of it !!

We've offered - I've offered.... and B has offered !! But, he still wants no part of it. The door is always open, for him..... it's his life !! Maybe - when I'm dead - he will come & see his Mum - I think that's what it's going to take....... but, I'm still breathing........ oh well !! I don't know what else I can do..... ?!

As I was saying - the ladies have gone out.... leaving me here, which on it's own, is no big deal..... I couldn't really go, anyhoo, as - some time, this afternoon - the nurse is coming to fix my dressings -
again !!

The nurse came over, on Monday, to attach me to a Vac pump thingy..... heck, I've written about all of this before !! But - the nurse came Monday & today - another nurse is coming to change the dressings. I'm not looking forward to it - but, it (the wound) has felt sooooo much better, since the pump was put on !! It's really been fantastic !!

Sure - it still hurts..... after all, I have a hole in my back, of course it hurts.... but, with this type of dressing, the pain has been reduced one heck of a lot !! I can live with that..... well, for a while at least !! I'm not really sure, just how long, I'm expected to have the thing...... we can work that out, later I guess.

As for the music of the moment..... I'm playing the 'Live Dead' album, by (of course) The Grateful Dead. I used to have it, on a 2 Lp set, now I have the Cd version. The tracks are:

1) Dark Star
2) Saint Stephen
3) The Eleven
4) Turn On Your Love Light
5) Death Don't Have No Mercy
6) Feedback
7) And We Bit You Goodnight

I think this was the first official Dead 'Live' album.... around 1970, or there about. I have another one, another 'live' set - which I have listed as being from 1971.... simply called 'Grateful Dead'. It's another 2 Lp set & those tracks are:

Side A

1) Bertha
2) Mama Tried
3) Big Railroad Blues
4) Playing In The Band

Side B

1) The Other One

Side C

1) Me & My Uncle
2) Big Boss Man
3) Me & Bobby McGee
Johnny B. Goode

Side D

1) Wharf Rat
2) Not Fade Away
3) Going Down The Road Feeling Bad

I don't think I have this one on Cd - I really can't remember !! I'll check the shelves, a little later..... if I can't find it - I'll try & find a copy, at the fair, on Saturday. As I still have the Lp's - there is a good chance I never bought the Cd version.... time will tell, I guess !!

In the post, this morning, we had a letter from my Brother !! That was a bit of a surprise.... to say the least !! It's been around 4 years, or so - since we last heard from him - so, time has flown by !! He's my elder Brother.... I was the baby of the family.... and, from the couple of pictures, that he included, he is doing Ok - I'm glad to say !!

The last time, that I heard from him... well, water under the bridge & stuff !! I might even write back to him..... I'll see how things go, I guess. B made a good point tho' - in his letter, there are no
'full stops' !! It's just one long ramble !! Nevermind..... he meant well, I guess.... I hope !!

Tomorrow, B is going away.... just for the day - on a trip, which has been organised, to take "carers" out for the day..... It's quite interesting, there are sooooo many things, done for carers, all of which I am grateful for..... don't get me wrong.... but, from my perspective - I don't know of anything that has been done, for those they "care" for !! Oh well..... I hope she has a great day out...... !!

It means, of course, I have the house, to myself - again.... so, the music will be blasting away, all day long !! Great stuff...... I'll try not to over load the speakers & stuff...... "oops !" - I've just remembered... the Missionaries are paying a visit !! Oh well...... I'll have some music before & after they're here !! Now - that's sounds like a plan, to me at least !!

Earlier, one of our neighbours came around to collect a parcel. B had taken it, for him, as nobody was home.... Anyways, we might be having some body new, living in the close.

There has been an empty house here, for several months now..... but, yesterday, somebody was in there, doing some bits & bobs, I guess.... so, maybe someone will move in soon.

The people who own the house, well - they did have a family renting it, from them... but, the guy left his partner & child !! That meant the lady was on her own & couldn't afford the cost - so, she moved out... and the house has been empty, ever since.

I said to B - if the owners had reduced the rent, the lady would of probably stayed & the house would not have been empty. Plus - the owners would have had some rent coming in.... too greedy !! Well - that's what I think.... moving along.....

As for my plans, today..... well, apart from the visit, by the nurse, I don't really have anything lined up. So, it will be music & reading time... again !!

I must check out, if Season 4 of 'Game Of Thrones' is available to buy yet. I know, you can get it, as a 'down load' - but, I want the DVD's.... being an old Luddite... I can't be messing around with 'down loads' & stuff like that !!

Right... I must be on my ways.... hopefully, the nurse will be here soon !! I just want her here & have it done with - it's not something I look forward to, so - the quicker she gets here, the quicker it's over & done with !!

I really must be away.... I thank you all, for logging in & reading my words... until next time...

Bye Bye
