Neil Young 'A Letter Home' & other stuff..

Greetings !!

It's a Tuesday afternoon.... here in the wilds of England's South West. The Sun is out - bright & warm - there are a few clouds, but... over in the distance, I can see the sea, bright & blue. It looks pretty good, out there...

I have to be honest - I feel like crap, today.... which is very disappointing !! Mainly as, yesterday, I felt really great !! I was outside - helping B, do the new washing line & walking around the place, only using my sticks, now & again. Today, however - well, I feel like crap !! Oh well !!

As for the family...

My Wife & Dearest Friend... B... she is upstairs, doing some housework. She helped put an extra dressing, on my back, a short while ago..... best explain !

Yesterday, a new nurse came, to change my dressing. Unfortunately, she didn't have all of the stuff needed !! So - for a couple of days, it was decided, I could go with-out my Vac-pump thingy. I didn't mind - the chance to go with-out my companion, well - it is great, not to have to carry "Hawking" around with me, everywhere I go !!

Unfortunately - the nurse, bless her, didn't do a very good job of covering things.... so, I asked B to put some extra stuff over the top. Unfortunately - it appears, I have a small problem.... some "red stuff" is showing thru' the white dressings.... Bummer !! As much as I could do with-out "Hawking" around my neck.... if he was still attached, I guess, the "red stuff" would not be showing.... oh well....

At least, I now know why my back is feeling sooooo sore today !! Nevermind - Hopefully - tomorrow - a nurse will come & fix things back together !! Time will tell, on that at least !!

B has just gone by, with a pile of bed linen !! It's amazing how much we get thru.... oh well !!

As for the music of the moment....

Neil Young, with the very helpful Jack White do a number of old songs, back to acetate & then onto Cd !! All very strange - but, also - all really good !! Give it a listen.... make up your own mind, as to "why ?" - heck if I know.... it's just a bit of Neil Young, being Neil Young.... I guess !!

Right - my plans for today.... none at all !!

I must e-mail a couple of people, but that won't be, for a little while. I need to get my back to stop hurting first !! Then, maybe - just maybe... I will catch up on 'Game Of Thrones'. B & I are watching the first 3 seasons, in the hope that season 4 will be in the shops, by the time we finish !! As yet.... well - I'm still looking out for it !!

Right - I must away.... I thank you for your time.... until next time...

Bye Bye
