'Murder In The Skies' by Gary Moore....

Greetings World's !!

It's a very bright & warm Monday - here in England. Looking out of the window, all I can see is blue sky & big white clouds !! It's really quite nice - to look over to the sea... blue, in the distance.....

As I type - B is loading up the car. She is taking some stuff over to the M & M's place. I'm not 100% sure how she is going to fit the 3 piece ladder into the car.....  We have a 20 year old banger - not really built for hauling anything too long !! However, My Wife & Dearest Friend, is trying her best...... looking out of the window, it looks as if it's all going to go..... I'm not sure how - but..... what do I know ?!

"B has now left the building" Somehow - and I still don't really know how - the ladder, all 3 parts of it + a spare length of wood.... to be used as a banister rail..... have all gone into the car & B is now heading towards town !! Quite incredible - really incredible  !!

Ok - where was I.. ?!

Oh.... I didn't post anything, over the weekend, sorry about that. I wasn't feeling too well.... plus, I'm not that keen on doing anything, computer wise, on a Sunday. To me, it's still the Lord's Day.... sooooo I try & avoid the old computer !!

I know, we don't attend Church services, as often as we used to - see earlier posts, for the reason why, but - I still try & keep the Sunday's a bit special, if we can.

Anyhoo - Saturday & yesterday, I wasn't feeling too well...... my health problems still keep me low, I'm sorry to say !! On Wednesday, this week, we are heading back down to the hospital, in Exeter, to see the Consultant..... hopefully, he will give me some clues, as to where all of this, is heading !!

I'm not convinced that I will need another surgery - but, I'm only working on what the nurses tell me !! They still come out, 3 times a week..... today's visit was a couple of hours ago.

They - all of the nurses - have their own way of doing the dressings. The nurse, who comes on Mondays, is a bit of a "patter". By that - I mean, she "pats" the dressings down, into place....... which, to be honest, I could do with-out. Every time she "pats" the dressing, a pain shoots thru' my spine !! Never mind... thankfully, she only comes once a week !!

Last Friday.. as I may have already posted... I actually asked the nurse to stop what she was doing !! She was talking to B & - unfortunately - she seem to forget how much she was hurting me !! So - I asked her to stop, just for a few seconds, to give me a break, to give the pain a chance to go away !!

She was ever so sorry & apologized..... bless her !! She is one of the 2 nurses that I love coming.... they really are the best, at getting the dressing just right !! Oh well.....

Ok - I guess everybody has seen the news, about the plane, which was shot down, over the Eastern Ukraine !! I - obviously - know very little about what happened..... but, if Mr Puck-tin's band of ass holes are responsible, they ought to be made to pay !!

It's not the first time, that someone in Russia has done this.... Those of us, of a certain age, will remember the plane, that was shot down, on it's way to Korea !! 'Murder In The Skies' Gary Moore called it, in his song, from the 'Victims Of The Future' album.... he was so right !! If it turns out that Mr Puck-tin's jerks are behind this...... well - you all know my views on him !!

Those people, on that plane, were innocent victims, of a war... which - lets be honest - Mr Puck-tin is supporting. Honestly - whoever gave the order, to shoot the plane down, needs to be made to look at the bodies, of those that were killed !! Once again - it's the innocent who pay the price !!

Back to here - the music of the moment...

So - there you go... 5 Cd's of Mountain's 5 Lp's !! To be honest... I wasn't too sure, if to play these discs or not... but, I'm glad I did !! To hear Leslie West play some great guitar & to hear Felix Pappalardi's voice, singing the softer parts... I'm glad I went for it & decided to listen to them !!

I had all of the albums, on Lp... so, to replace them on Cd.. well, that was a bonus - even tho' I already had 2 of the Cd's already..... heck, it was my birthday & it's all music !! Give the 'Flowers Of Evil' album a listen, if you get a chance... well good, well good !!

Right... my plans for today ?! I really need to catch up on a few things - stuff that I've put off doing, really (because) I've just not got around to doing it !! Just lazy, I guess....

I must be away... as always, I thank you for logging in & reading my words.... from wherever you might be living... until next time...

Bye Bye
