'Dark Side Of The Mule'... Ho-hum !!

Greeting's Word's !!

I hope your bit of the Universe is treating you well, this fine Thursday afternoon ?! Of course - as some of you, are way over to the East & some of you, are way over to the West - it could be anytime, where you are standing !!

Here, in England - it's about 4pm. I've taken my afternoon pills & potions... and, I hope, in a short while, I will be either high as a kite, or - at the very least - out of pain, for a few hours or so !! It's been a long day & my ol' bones are starting to feel their age !!

Nevermind - as I type, B... My Wife & Dearest Friend..... is upstairs, trying to sort out a pattern, for some "new" Christmas craft type of thing. Ooop's - I lie... she has now joined me, here in our living room !! Nope - she has gone, again - off on some kind of thread hunt !! All a bit weird, really !!

She has poured me, some more morphine... bless her cotton socks !! I will be away, with the clouds, in a while !! Oh well.... it's been a hectic kind of day, as I said, above, a long one, that's for sure !!

I had to get, down to the Dr's - for around 10... sooooo, no staying in bed, this morning, to sleep off my morning potions !! Then, it was back here, to wait for a package to come - which turned out, to be a bit of a pain !!

I thought the package, was coming by courier & would need signing for...... hence, we headed back to the house - but, it came with the postman & he just stuck it thru' the door !! Had we known, that Mr Postie was bringing it, we could of headed, into town earlier, instead of hanging around the house !!

Town was kind of hectic... lots of people around. We did think, that one of the schools was closed, because there seemed to be a shed load of younger kids about. Mind you - it wasn't them, that I had to fight my ways thru' !!

I use a wheelchair - not motorized, I must point out.... so, we were heading thru' the main street & these two older ladies were in front of me - no matter which way, that I tried to pass them, they moved over to block my passage !! It was like, that they had eyes, in the back of their heads - bless them !!

I wanted to clip their heels, with my wheels... to show them, that I was behind them, but B pushed me around them - by putting on a quick burst of speed !! Next time, ladies... next time !!

I have to be honest - I was glad, to get back to the car... I was getting too cold !! It was my fault, I should of taken a coat... but, I thought I would manage with-out !! My bad... I'll wrap up next time..... As it was, when B went into the supermarket, I kept the engine running, to warm myself up !!

As for getting home... by the time, that we got here, I was half asleep & half awake !! Another 30 minutes & I would of been out for the count, I need my beauty sleep, in the mornings !!

Tomorrow, will be, just as bad - as I have to go for a dressings change, just after 9 !! Oh well - life goes on.... besides, it must be a Thursday... "I could never get the hang of Thursdays !!"

Ok - Gov't Mule do Pink Floyd... ?! It works, on sooooo many levels - it's kind of brilliant, it really is !!

It was, so the booklet says, recorded at The Orpheum Theatre - in Boston, on October 31st 2008. If you were at the show - I really do envy you !! The Cd's are good - the DVD, not so much.... but, what the heck... it's all music !!

I will have to make some more room, on the Mini Egg - to fit everything in !! With the Allman Brother's shows, coming (soon - I hope) + the other Cd's that I have picked up, over recent weeks... well, I will have to make, quite a bit more space !!

I see on the news, that Leon Brittan has died... Ho-hum. I think he was 75 - and, I thought he had died, some years back.... oh well.....

Right - my plans, for the rest of the day... very few !! I have to do a couple of odd jobs, but - apart from that, it's going to be a very quiet night, if all goes well, that is !! A few things to do & then off to bed, I guess !!

Last night, the M & M's came over... just for a little while - it's always great, to have all of the guys home - even if one of them, prefers to stay away !! That's life, I guess.... nevermind !!

I thank you all, for logging in & reading my words....... if I owe you an e-mail, I'll try & catch up - maybe tomorrow, sometime !! I must away... until next time..

Bye Bye
