Greeting's World's !!
It's a Friday & the end of another week.... I had to go out, to the local Dr's this morning & it was really cold, outside !! Since then, as I've felt like crap - I've stayed, here in the homestead, sat in front of the fire & staying warm !!
As I type, B is behind me, sorting out some washing.... it's pretty cool out there, so - hopefully she won't catch a cold !! No, I'm only joking... it's not that cold, in the kitchen - just warmer, here in the living room !!
Ok - it's been a couple of days, since I last posted anything. I think it was Wednesday, when I last - really & truly - felt like switching on the computer & writing anything !! I'm sorry a say, the effects of the last surgery, is still letting me down !! "Bummer !!"
I can't quite get my head, around what has happened - I really can not.
I went into hospital, for one - as I thought - last surgery..... and, to my way of thinking, it's all gone "tits up".... as we would say, here in England's South-West..
I saw the local nurse, this morning, for my thrice weekly torture session. Now then - I'm not moaning, about my nurses - or how they do things, but.... it's getting more & more painful, each & every time, that they change the blooming dressings !!
The nurse asked, if I was having them changed 3 times a week, or every day. Well, I don't really understand, exactly what she meant - but, B tells me, that the wound has got bigger, since Wednesday.... sooooo, I'm guessing it's to do with that !! Nevermind....
What's a hole in the back, between friends ?! Well - for one thing, it's a blooming pain !! Nevermind - time will tell, on what's going to happen next...... maybe a miracle, or something !! I will let you know, just as soon as I get to know, what the heck the Dr's are going do next !!
As for the music of the moment..
Well, I have been listening to another of the Allman Brother's concerts, from last year's Beacon Theatre run of concerts. I might have listed the tracks before - I can't remember...... anyhoo, the tracks are:
CD 1
1) Hot 'Lanta
2) No One To Run With
3) Leave My Blues At Home
4) Worried Down With The Blues
5) Soulshine
6) True Gravity
7) Dreams
8) Black Hearted Woman
CD 2
1) Done Somebody Wrong
2) Come & Go Blues
3) Rockin' Horse
4) Trouble No More
5) Midnight Rider
CD 3
1) Blue Sky
2) You Don't Love Me
3) Whippin' Post
4) Will The Circle Be Unbroken
5) Whippin' Post - Reprise
It was recorded on October 24th... as I said above, from last years concerts. It's well good.... and nice to hear 'Will The Circle Be Unbroken' again !! If you've ever had the chance, to hear Gregg Allman's solo live album, from 1974 ish... well, '...Circle...' is on there.
If all goes well, hopefully next week - some more of the concerts will reach me.... now that's something to look forward to !! I know, that the actual box, that completes the whole 2014 thing...well - that won't be here for a while, but... that's no biggy !! The music is the main thing - that's good enough for me !!
A while ago, B & I watch the old Mathew Broderick & Marlon Brando film 'The Freshman'. After watching all of 'The Godfather' films recently... it was good to see the send up !! Brando was brilliant - how they got him, to play the part, I don't know... but, it's a good laugh !!
Right - I best be on my ways.... B is cooking up a bit of supper... and I want to be sat & ready, for when that arrives in front of me !!
As always, I thank you for logging in & reading my words... until next time..
Bye Bye

The last 10 days or so... Ho-hum
Greetings World's !!
I'm back !!
Actually, I've been back, for a number of days.... but, I've had a few problems & I really did not feel like putting fingers to keypad !! I will try & explain, as I go along.... it's been a real pain in the butt, this past week.... not just for me, but for My Wife & Dearest Friend, as well !!
Talking of B - she has gone, into town - just for a few hours. As I might have mentioned, in the past, there is a group, who meet up on Wednesday afternoons, to do crafty stuff & that kind of thing. Sooooo, B has gone over, to meet up with them & - I guess - do a bit of "show & tell" !!
The place, where they meet, is just around the corner, from the M & M's place... so, I think B is going to call in there, just for a little "Hi" type of visit.
ME came over, yesterday after work - which was really nice !! Feeling a little under the weather, to see our Daughter.... it was more than nice, it was brilliant !! It cheered me right up, it really did !!
So - apart from the couple of cats, that are here... that kind of wraps up the family. I'm glad B went out... it's been a bit of a bummer, for her.... to try & explain, what has happened over the last 10 days or so !!
As you might already know... I had to go, back into hospital. That was on February 9th... Monday of last week. It had been sorted out, all in advance - or, at least, we thought it had !! To try & explain.
We went down, to the hospital, almost on the button, time wise - which was good. If we get to these places (hospitals) too early, we have to kill time.... if we're too late - well, you can probably work that out, for yourselves !!
Anyhoo, the time was good - and B helped me, to get ready for the surgery. When it was time, to go up to the theater, B gave me a kiss & I went into the theater place & B headed for home. I had the easy part... B had to drive home, on her own !! That can't be very nice.... not nice, at all !!
Anyways - I went into the theater - and after a minute or so, to myself... I was knocked out. I've no real idea, just how long the surgery took.... but, I remember coming back to the ward & everything.... just a little "out of it" & I was allowed to rest up. By that - I mean, I was allowed to have a bit of a sleep.
This is where it all went up the creek !!
I asked the duty nurse, if she could reach me out some PJ's & stuff like that..... I don't really know, what actually happened next.... but, the nurse was not the nicest person, that I had come across.... and she basically told me to get dress, because - to use her words "you have to get dressed & go home !!"
After all these weeks of getting ready, for the surgery, I was being told to go home !! I think I asked, how I was meant to do that - taking into account, I had been stitched up & in quite a lot of real pain !!
I can't remember half of what was said.... but, trying to explain, that I thought I was going to be, in the hospital, for at least a week.... until the wound had had a chance, to heal, just a bit !!
None of what I said - or what B said, when she actually come down the 50+ miles to collect me seemed to matter !! We were not happy bunnies, at all !! Sooooo - I was taken, out of the hospital & B drove me home........ we eventually got back to the house, at 10.30pm..... it was stupid, it really was.
The whole point, of my going into hospital, was to have the wound, stitched up.... and, as soon as the doctor was happy with how it was healing, I would then, be sent home, to recover.
As it is - some 10 days later - the stitches (some of them, at least) have come apart & things are really, really painful !! B is more angry about it, I guess, than I am..... it's been a real bummer !!
I came home, on the Monday night.... on the Tuesday, our local Doctor came over, to the house, to give me a pain killing injection. I'm not sure, what he actually gave me - but, it did work & for a while, I was really happy, to be asleep !!
So, that's been my life, for the last 10 days, or whatever it's been !! Ain't life grand ?!
Ok - I must be on my ways.... I need to get a bit of sleep !! When I'm asleep. I'm not in pain - so, that's good !!
I thank you all, for logging & reading my (few) words, over the last week or so..... until next time....
Bye Bye

"You say Hello & I say goodbye" !!
Hi World's !!
Just a quick "Hello" tonight....
Tomorrow - at around lunch-time, I'm going back into theater - to let the surgeon do his best, at putting me back together again !!
So - as I'm not 100% sure, when I will be able to write again.... I thought I would say "goodbye" for a while & I'll write, as & when I can.... until next time..
Bye Bye

Yes & a sickened World...
Greetings World's !!
It's been a few days, since I last put finger to keypad & - to be honest.... it's been a really shit week, as far as the World goes !! More of that later... first, "The family...."
As I type, I am sat here, with my back to the kitchen, where - B.. My Wife & Dearest Friend.. is ironing some curtains. As far as I can work out - ME wants B, to make some cushions, out of the curtains - these, so I'm told, will match the curtains, that the M & M's already own. I'm not sure, if that's completely right - but.... !!
Hopefully, the M & M's will come over, to our place, at some point over the next couple of days..... I want the chance to say "Hi" to them !! It's only 2 days, to go.... before I go back, into hospital again - I would like to see them, before I go !! I guess, it depends on how they are, work wise & things like that..... oh well...
B is now here, in the living room, where - I'm glad to say - it's warmer..... we have the heating on + the fire lit, to warm the whole house up.... it's blooming cold outside & I'm struggling to keep myself warm, at the moment !! It's not just today - I've been feeling the cold, all thru' the week ..... not good !!
On Thursday - as it was dry - B took me, into Taunton, to have a look in the HMV shop..... plus - some of the shops, that she wanted to go into. It might have been dry - but, it was really freezing cold !! I don't mind it much, when it's cold & dry, but, on Thursday, I really did feel it !!
I shouldn't complain...
On our last 2 visits, to Taunton, I have found a guy - who's name I don't know - but, he obviously has no place to call home, sleeping where he can. Anyhoo - on Thursday, I gave him as much changed as I had to give & I hope, next time around, I'll have more to give him. I was cold - he was freezing !! I had somewhere to go to - to get warm..... I'm not sure about him !!
Why give someone, that I don't know, some cash ?! Quite simple really...... I might be bankrupt - but, I have somewhere to call home. A bit of cash, well.... !!
Anyhoo - that was Thursday...
I did come home, with a 3 Cd live set, by Yes.... not one of B's favourite groups - but !! It's from there 2004 35th anniversary concert.... the tracks are:
CD 1
1) Going For The One
2) Sweet Dreams
3) I've Seen All Good People
4) Mind Drive Pts. 1 & 2
5) South Side Of The Sky
6) Turn Of The Century

I saw this set, in Exeter - oh, some months ago now.... but, I wasn't sure if to buy it & missed my chance !! When I did go, to pick it up - I couldn't find it !! Nevermind - I have a copy now & life is good !!
I also picked up a copy, of Bryan Adams's 'Reckless' album - the deluxe version. It has extra tracks, on the studio Cd + a bonus Cd of the 1985 BBC 'In Concert' broadcast. The tracks, on the latter, are:
1) Remember

This concert brings back sooooo many memories, to me. I still have the cassette here, someplace - which I recorded at the time, on the night, that it was broadcast - it still plays fine !! Sooooo many memories...
The music of the moment, well - that's the DVD of Gov't Mules 'Dark Side Of The Mule'. I gave you all of the tracks, a while back - so, check those out, on an earlier post !!
Right - back to why this week, has been so shit...
As all of you know, by now - I hope - IS burned a man to death, all in the name of their ongoing belief, that what they do is right !!
I believe in God.... but, what God is is it, that these IS jerks believe in, that says you have to put a man, in a cage & burn him to death !! I must of missed that part, of all the various books of scripture I've read - since my days in Primary, thru' Secondary & on, until this part of my life !!
Of course - I would like to write, exactly, what I feel about this.... but, if I did, I would be branded something, or another.... and it would only give IS & Muslims, the right to call me all the names, under the Sun !!
I am sickened, by what has happened !! I think - all over the World - people are sickened, by what has happened.....
Hopefully, from this week onwards - IS will lose this battle, for what it is they are fighting for......... you are complete jerks !! My life will go on - for what you did, I hope your lives are short & painful !!
Of course - I'm not allowed to say that........
I've just had a 'phone call, from ME - the y are coming over, to see us !! "Yippeeeee !!" I'm glad of that - I really am.....
So, with the guys, on the ways here & things to do... I will shut this down, for now...
As always, I thank you for taking the time, to log in & read my words - I see my reader in the Ukraine has logged in "Hi" - it's good to know, that you are all out there & I thank you all... until next time...

Beacon Theatre March 19th 2014 ...Ho-hum
Greetings World's !!
After what feels like a very long time, I'm back !! I'm sorry about the gap - since I last put finger to keyboard - I think it was last Friday, that I actually posted anything..... sooooo !!
To explain where I've been - that's simple... nowhere !! I've just been a little under the weather & needed some time, to myself & to get over feeling like crap !!
Going back, to last Friday.
In the evening, feeling under the weather, I took the opportunity of having some extra med's.... B knew I wasn't feeling very well - so, she gave me some extra stuff, to help me. That was Friday..... I - kind of - came to, on the Sunday !! Honestly - I completely skipped Saturday, all together !!
When I actually came to my senses - no, that's wrong... when I worked out, what day it was... well, as I say... it was Sunday & I had slept right thru' the previous 24 hours !! All very weird !!
Anyhoo - the last couple of days, have been a bit of a pain.... feeling like crap & just wanting to stay in bed & sleep. On a few afternoons - I have gone back to bed & slept for a couple of hours... but, it's taken, until last night, before I've started to feel any better !!
I'm just glad - what ever it is, that has laid me this low, hit this week & not next week !! I don't think, that going to the hospital, feeling the way I did, would have helped my chances of having the surgery !!
Hopefully, over the next few days, I can pick myself up - just a bit.... I want to arrive at the hospital, in fighting form.... I don't want to give the surgeon, any reason, to cancel my operation !! I've waited long enough, to have this next stage done & dusted with.... it has to go ahead, it really has to !!
For those new readers - "Hi - where have you been ?".... On Monday, of next week, I'm going into hospital, for - what will be - my 10th surgery, in the last year & so many months. I've lost count - but, the first surgery was on May 28th 2013.... so, it's been a very long haul, to get to this stage !!
I think - it's just 5 days, to go.... before I head South-West of here & land up, at the hospital, in Exeter. "Wow" !! Looking back - it's been a very long ride... but, looking ahead, it's only 5 days !! I'm sure, that I can live just a few days longer & get this over & done with !! Of course I can..... I ain't dying just yet !!
As I've said, before - I have the easy part... B... has the hardest part of it all !!
Talking of My Wife & Dearest Friend....... she is out, today.... some kind of craft thingy, which is being held in Glastonbury....... the spiritual home of King Arthur & all stuff related to that !!
You could argue - that King Arthur & Glastonbury, are all the idea of an old monk, who needed the cash, to keep the old Abby going...... but, where would the fun be, in that ?! Henry VIII may have sorted the monks out - but, the whole King Arthur thing carries on !!
You could also argue - that Glastonbury, is the home to the largest music festival, in Europe.... but, those of us, who live here - well, we know it as the Pilton festival... which is where it's held, most years. It's a few miles, outside of Glastonbury.... so, if you're heading to the music, this coming year - check your maps !!
Right - with B out of the house, I'm home alone !! Sooooo - the music is blasting away & I'm having a great time, listening to it all !! At the moment, I'm listening to one of the Allman Brothers shows, from 2014.... the tracks are:
CD 1
1) Statesboro' Blues
2) You Don't Love Me
3) Woman Across The River
4) Stormy Monday
5) End Of The Line
6) True Gravity
7) That's What Love Will Make You Do
8) Soulshine
9) Ain't Wastin' Time No More
CD 2
1) Midnight Rider
2) Dusk Till Dawn
3) Don't Keep Me Wondering
4) I've Been Loving You Too Long
CD 3
1) And It Stoned Me
2) Les Brers In A Minor
3) JaMaBuBu
4) Les Brers In A Minor - reprise
5) No One To Run With
Ok - I might have listed all of these tracks before.... but.... !! This concert was recorded, at New York's Beacon Theatre on March 19th..... go buy yourself a copy, you will not be too disappointed in your purchase !!
Since starting these few words - the kitten, come monster cat.... better known, as Archie, has decided to come down - from some where, upstairs.... and is now, asleep, on my lap !! Very unusual !!
He's probably deciding, which part of my legs, to eat first !! Oh well... as long as he's happy - and I continue, to have no feelings in my legs, life will remain good !! Moving on...
I finally finished recording my "mix tape" Cd's !! In the end - I landed up, with 14 Cd's - less than my last try, but slightly more than I expected !! I tried putting them, onto the iPod thingy, last night... but, that all went wrong - so, I'll have another go.... once I finish these last few words.
My plans, for today... well, that will depend on when B gets home, I guess. I've not thought too hard, about what I'm going to - but, staying here, in the warm, sounds like a great plan, to me !!
I do have a form, to fill out - from the bankruptcy people.... they want my income... again !! It's not going to take, very long... I'm still broke & I'm still living off my disability living allowance - so, I'll just fill out, as before - if that's not good enough for them... well, they can catch me, in hospital, next week... or some time after that !!
So, for now - I will be on my ways... I thank you all, for taking the time, to log in & read my words.... until next time...
Bye Bye
After what feels like a very long time, I'm back !! I'm sorry about the gap - since I last put finger to keyboard - I think it was last Friday, that I actually posted anything..... sooooo !!
To explain where I've been - that's simple... nowhere !! I've just been a little under the weather & needed some time, to myself & to get over feeling like crap !!
Going back, to last Friday.
In the evening, feeling under the weather, I took the opportunity of having some extra med's.... B knew I wasn't feeling very well - so, she gave me some extra stuff, to help me. That was Friday..... I - kind of - came to, on the Sunday !! Honestly - I completely skipped Saturday, all together !!
When I actually came to my senses - no, that's wrong... when I worked out, what day it was... well, as I say... it was Sunday & I had slept right thru' the previous 24 hours !! All very weird !!
Anyhoo - the last couple of days, have been a bit of a pain.... feeling like crap & just wanting to stay in bed & sleep. On a few afternoons - I have gone back to bed & slept for a couple of hours... but, it's taken, until last night, before I've started to feel any better !!
I'm just glad - what ever it is, that has laid me this low, hit this week & not next week !! I don't think, that going to the hospital, feeling the way I did, would have helped my chances of having the surgery !!
Hopefully, over the next few days, I can pick myself up - just a bit.... I want to arrive at the hospital, in fighting form.... I don't want to give the surgeon, any reason, to cancel my operation !! I've waited long enough, to have this next stage done & dusted with.... it has to go ahead, it really has to !!
For those new readers - "Hi - where have you been ?".... On Monday, of next week, I'm going into hospital, for - what will be - my 10th surgery, in the last year & so many months. I've lost count - but, the first surgery was on May 28th 2013.... so, it's been a very long haul, to get to this stage !!
I think - it's just 5 days, to go.... before I head South-West of here & land up, at the hospital, in Exeter. "Wow" !! Looking back - it's been a very long ride... but, looking ahead, it's only 5 days !! I'm sure, that I can live just a few days longer & get this over & done with !! Of course I can..... I ain't dying just yet !!
As I've said, before - I have the easy part... B... has the hardest part of it all !!
Talking of My Wife & Dearest Friend....... she is out, today.... some kind of craft thingy, which is being held in Glastonbury....... the spiritual home of King Arthur & all stuff related to that !!
You could argue - that King Arthur & Glastonbury, are all the idea of an old monk, who needed the cash, to keep the old Abby going...... but, where would the fun be, in that ?! Henry VIII may have sorted the monks out - but, the whole King Arthur thing carries on !!
You could also argue - that Glastonbury, is the home to the largest music festival, in Europe.... but, those of us, who live here - well, we know it as the Pilton festival... which is where it's held, most years. It's a few miles, outside of Glastonbury.... so, if you're heading to the music, this coming year - check your maps !!
Right - with B out of the house, I'm home alone !! Sooooo - the music is blasting away & I'm having a great time, listening to it all !! At the moment, I'm listening to one of the Allman Brothers shows, from 2014.... the tracks are:
CD 1
1) Statesboro' Blues
2) You Don't Love Me
3) Woman Across The River
4) Stormy Monday
5) End Of The Line
6) True Gravity
7) That's What Love Will Make You Do
8) Soulshine
9) Ain't Wastin' Time No More
CD 2
1) Midnight Rider
2) Dusk Till Dawn
3) Don't Keep Me Wondering
4) I've Been Loving You Too Long
CD 3
1) And It Stoned Me
2) Les Brers In A Minor
3) JaMaBuBu
4) Les Brers In A Minor - reprise
5) No One To Run With
Ok - I might have listed all of these tracks before.... but.... !! This concert was recorded, at New York's Beacon Theatre on March 19th..... go buy yourself a copy, you will not be too disappointed in your purchase !!
Since starting these few words - the kitten, come monster cat.... better known, as Archie, has decided to come down - from some where, upstairs.... and is now, asleep, on my lap !! Very unusual !!
He's probably deciding, which part of my legs, to eat first !! Oh well... as long as he's happy - and I continue, to have no feelings in my legs, life will remain good !! Moving on...
I finally finished recording my "mix tape" Cd's !! In the end - I landed up, with 14 Cd's - less than my last try, but slightly more than I expected !! I tried putting them, onto the iPod thingy, last night... but, that all went wrong - so, I'll have another go.... once I finish these last few words.

I'm still broke & I'm still living off my disability living allowance - so, I'll just fill out, as before - if that's not good enough for them... well, they can catch me, in hospital, next week... or some time after that !!
So, for now - I will be on my ways... I thank you all, for taking the time, to log in & read my words.... until next time...
Bye Bye
