Grateful Dead... Ho-hum... !!

Hi Everybody !!

How is your universe treating you, this fine Sunny day ?! It looks pretty good - outside - but, as I've spent the biggest part of the day, asleep in my bed.... well, it's now pushing towards 4.30pm & I decided I better do a few things, before the whole day went AWOL !!

I actually did go out, earlier on - but, only as far as our local Dr's surgery. It was that time - again - for my dressings to be change & so, B took me down & I had my few minutes of pain, while the nurse did what she had to do !! It's not very nice, but.... bit by little bit... the wound is healing itself & life, in that respect, is petty good !!

On Wednesday, I have to go back to see the plastic surgeon who did the last 3 surgeries....... hopefully, he will not think it (the wound) needs another operation !! Time will tell on that one.... but, as I said to him, back a couple of months back, I've had 10 operations now..... I don't really want any more !! I'll see what he says.... hopefully he will let things go on, the way they are & let thing heal up naturally, with-out another surgery !!

Ok - that's in a couple of days - as for this day & this very moment.... B - My Wife & Dearest Friend - is upstairs, trying to find something, in her Craft Cave. She wants to find some stamps, or cutters... or something, to do the notice board, down at the Dr's surgery. She looks after a part of it & likes to put various things on it, to make it stand out..... oh well !!

As for the rest of the family.... well, those of us who are still talking to each other !!

Our Daughter - ME - is likely to be over, tomorrow. I know she is working today - but, I think she is having tomorrow off & might be over to see us, at some point. That would be good.... I love my whirlwind of a Daughter... she is really brilliant !!

As for our Son - J - well..... he is in his own little Universe, at the moment. He did tell me, that he was moving.... but, apart from that, I have no idea as to when - I think he said he starts the next part of his Uni course, in June.... but....!! Oh well..... my life will go on, for a while, at least - it's up to him, if he wants to come back this way.... he still has a room here & a bed to sleep on... so..... !!

I've not played much, in the way of Grateful Dead music, over the last few weeks or so. I did play this whole concert, while I was stuck in the hospital. Mind you - I had lots of time to kill, sooooo why not !! Oh well... now I've found the shelf again, where all of the Dead's Cd's are collecting dust... well, I might give some other stuff a listen !!

Right - my plans for the rest of the night... none at all !!

I have to sit & let this current bug, or whatever it is, that has made me feel unwell today, take it's own good time, to leave my system & then, I can sort out a few things.... mainly the boxes of stuff, that are taking up a lot of space, up in J's room !! It's Ok my collecting all of these various things... but, at some point, I have to put them all away & up in the loft space !! Not today tho' !!

For today - I will thank you all, for taking the time to log in & read my words... from England, over to Germany & onwards around the World.... until next time...

Bye Bye
