Taste - 'Live At The Isle Of Wight'

Greeting's !!

It's another Friday !! I didn't get to writing anything yesterday - mainly as we had a really lazy morning, followed by a very hectic afternoon.... so... today is Friday & I hope I can be forgiven for missing Thursday ?!

As I type, I'm home alone...

B - My Wife & Dearest Friend - is in town, doing some kind of carer's course, at one of the Dr's surgeries . I'm not really sure what time she will be home.... but, I'm guessing it will be in about an hour or so.

Going back, to yesterday.....

I woke up, really in the middle of the night !! So, B & I watched a bit of TV & had a bite to eat..... that was way early, sooooo - we went back to sleep & woke up about 10 or 11am !! As I say - a real lazy morning !! The afternoon - well...

I had to go into the hospital, for 4.45pm - so we made a trip of it & went around Taunton, doing a bit of shopping. I'm not really that keen, on doing the whole shopping thing, with people everywhere - but.... we had some fun & B was able to find some cloth she wanted ( to make stuff with) and I had some fun in HMV - buying some Cd's !!

We even had a KFC for lunch !! Heck - we really pushed the boat out !! As for the Cd's.... they are just a couple of old things, that caught my eye, as I wheeled myself around the shelves !!

First up was 'Live At The Isle Of Wight' by Taste. I knew there was a copy - of the concert, but this was the first time I had actually found it anywhere. The tracks are:

1) What's Going On
2) Sugar Mama
3) Morning Sun
4) Sinner Boy
5) I Feel So Good
6) Catfish

Ok - I know it's a really old concert, from the 1970 festival - but... !! It's a must have kind of Cd, well good !! The other set, that I picked up.....

Well - that's a 3 disc set, by Mike Oldfield...... and contains various re-workings of my favourite album (by him) 'Ommadawn'. The album first came out, in 1975 & I fell in love with it, right away !! It's one of those few albums - well.... I have it on Lp - tape cassette - and Cd !! Plus, now I have these re-worked versions.... including a 'Surround Sound' DVD of the thing !! It can't be all bad, maybe some of it..... but, I'm willing to give it a try !!

 Following our trip, around the town - as I said above - I had to go back to the hospital - to see the Consultant, who actually did the first batch of surgeries, on me, in 2013...... a really great guy !!

He was pleased with my progress - altho' kind of upset about all of the last few infections I've had.... especially the last one, where I stopped breathing & shit like that. Nevermind - it's all behind me now !!

he has - thankfully - put me on a long term course of pills.... so, I might avoid having any more episodes, where I get really sick again !! I don't like going to bed, at home - and then waking up, in the hospital !! Not nice !!

Plus - he gave me a print out, of my MRI scan !! I wanted to see what it all looked like & he kindly had a couple of the images printed up for me - to add to my collection of stuff, pictures & posters etc etc that I have here !! I'm just a sick-o... who likes to see, what has happened inside of me !!

One of the images is pretty fantastic - with a clear shot of all of the metal work, that is holding me all together now !! Great stuff !! Oh well.... I best be on my ways....

I'm surprised, that I didn't get any fall out, from my last post.... nevermind, life goes on & so must I !! I have a dressings change, due in under an hour - so I must move !!

 I thank you all, for taking the time to log in & read my words... I thank you all... until next time..

Bye Bye
