2014 - going on 2015.. Ho-hum !!

Hi & Greetings World's !!

It's the last day of the year - and more than likely, my last post of the year.... 2014 is fast a coming to an end & 2015 is around the corner !! I see, on the BBC news, that New Zealand & Australia have already welcomed the new year in, with some really good fireworks.... great stuff !!

As I've mentioned before - directly behind our house, there is a 11th century hill fort... well, the remains of one. Anyhoo - on "New Years Eve" (or whatever it's called) you can go up, to the top of the hill & see the fireworks, going right up thru' the Bristol Channel... from South Wales - all the ways along !! It's quite a sight to see..... well good !!

Oh well.... I doubt that we'll be climbing tonight.... nevermind - we still get a good view out of the bedroom windows !! Moving on - to the family.....

As I type - B is sat, over to my left, doing some kind of cross stitch thingy..... We went into town, a short while ago - mainly to give me a bit of air + to drop off a letter, for our Daughter, ME. We went over to the M & M's house, but didn't stay.....

Hopefully, the 2 of them won't be upset - by my not staying..... I wasn't feeling too brilliant & I didn't really want to spoil their day !! I will go over & stay next time......

As I say - I wasn't feeling too brilliant & just wanted to go out, for a drive around & pick up a couple of things, from one of the shops. As it was - we went into Sainsbury's & bought a few things... but, forgot one, of the 2 things, we actually needed !! Oh well.... we can get them next time around !!

I did get some blank Cd's tho' - at a really good price !! I'm guessing that it was stock, brought in for the Christmas rush - but, in the end, didn't get sold !! Sooooo - they were marked down, I think to about half price... great stuff !!

Ok - I know I didn't really need any blanks - but, they will always come in handy, for one thing or another........ especially as, at the moment, I'm putting together another "mix tape" type of thing. If you don't know, what I'm going on about - read an earlier post (or 2) and you'll soon get the idea !!

That's what I'm trying to do, as I type - putting some Gov't Mule stuff, onto one of the blanks...... the track of the moment is 'Trying Not To Fall' - taken from their 'The Deep End Vol's 1 & 2' album.

It's just a bunch of random tracks - that I want to stick together..... it's just a bit of fun & I want to try & record it, the "mix tape" - before going back, into hospital, in February !!

Two things, that I best explain...

(1) I'm using Cd's - not tapes... so, "mix tape" is just an old term, for what I'm putting together.... we used to do tapes, for the cars & stuff - now, I use Cd's !!

(2) If I'm not going into hospital, until February... "why do them now"... well, mainly as it won't be as simple, as just putting together one Cd - the last one, that I put together - well, that worked out.... altogether, to be 18 Cd's !! Sooooo - I need time to put things onto Cd..... I'm just an old fart & I need time, to do things !! Oh well.....

Moving on - well, backwards really......

Earlier this morning, I had another dressings change.... either I'm getting used to the pain.... or, all of my nerve ends, in my back, have given up. No really - it still hurts, every time one of the nurses takes the old dressings off - but, this morning... it didn't seem to be too bad !! It's amazing what you can get used to, I guess !!

I will be sooooo happy, when (if) this all comes to an end !! B took a picture, this morning - to show me, how the wound is mending... I was kind of disappointed - mainly as I had hoped it would be a lot better, than it actually looked, in the 'photo.... nevermind !!

Compared to how it has been - the whole wound is sooooo much better, size wise, if not exactly pain wise !! It will all end - one day..... I just expected to have one surgery, in May 2013 & so far, it's coming up to 10 !! Ain't life great, sometimes  ?! Oh well....

It's the end of another year.... and I refuse to make any kind of resolutions, for 2015 !! I've tried to do my best, over recent years - but.... I have failed completely, on most of them !! Honestly.... I've had some great idea's - but, only a very few of them have come to anything !!

As for what has gone by, in 2014.... ?! Ho-hum... I better just stick to music - tho' I don't think I have any favourite "album of the year" type of thing. I have - as usual - had far too many Cd's, to actually listen to, in all their glory..... as I've said before - too many Cd's & too few brain cells !!

I have enjoyed everything that I've heard, by Transatlantic - even tho' some of the Cd's are from before 2014 !! having said that - the other side of the coin.... away from "prog rock".... I've really enjoyed The Hooters re-release of 'Time Stand Still' - but, I don't really know when that was put on sale !!

Anyhoo.......

I will leave you all, to listen to your own music collections.... as long as you're all happy, with whatever you listen to - what the heck !! Life is good - so, have a great 2015.... I thank you all, for reading my words, thru' out the last 12 months.... Happy New Year.....until next time

Bye Bye
