David Gilmour... & other stuff !!

Hi & Greetings !!

I hope your part of the Universe is treating you well - blue skies & warm weather ? Of course - if you live somewhere completely different - you might be glad, just to see the rain..... and things !!

It's a Friday, I think, here in England.... I just went outside & it's kind of warm... with a nasty wind. Sooooo - as I'm feeling a little "poorly" - I've decided to start the fire off, just to warm myself up. It might be, the back end of May - but, there is nothing like a warm,  log & coal fire, to make a house a home !!

As I type - I'm home alone.... B has been in town, for most of the day. She has just 'phoned, to say she is leaving the M & M's house & heading towards the supermarket. To be honest, when she left here, this morning, I didn't know she intended going around, to visit our lovely Daughter.... but, it's no biggy. I was just surprised, when I woke up, at 3.30 - to find she wasn't home !! Oh well...

I had to get up, anyhow..... our blessed Archie, was poorly & I had to clean up his bit of puke. Poor little mite. All he did, was make these little "meep" sounds, that he comes out with, when he's not too happy with himself !!

It's Ok now... the mess is clear & he's gone outside. Not - of course - to be woken up, but he had to wake up, just a bit, to head on, to the big "out-doors" !! Moving on....

I don't think, that I posted anything, yesterday - I can't really remember !! Anyhoo... if I didn't... sorry about that. I know, it was a busy day - so, I'm guessing I didn't get around to it.

We did have a very quick visit, from the Elders. I don't really know why, they come here.... other, of course, to get some of B's fantastic cooking !! They left here, with a great chunk of cake, so... that should feed them, for a few minutes !!

I might go to Church, on Sunday.... it's nearly 2 years, since my last visit !! If you go back, to 2013 - you will read, just how pissed off, I
was !! I went to Church, expecting to be allowed to speak... to bear my Testimony & take part in the service.... only to find myself, shut in the Bishop's office, for over 90 minutes !!

That was Sunday 26th May 2013..... The following day, I went into the hospital, for my back surgery. As it was - I didn't come home for 3 months. One surgery turned into 6 & I spent the biggest part of the Summer, in pain & staring out of hospital windows !!

It was & remains, one of the darkest parts of my life...... you kind of remember the times, when you get shit on & plan to do this, that & the other.... only to find, that your life has taken a curve ball & knocked you sideways !!

Oh well.... that was 2 years ago.... I didn't expect, after all this time, to be sat here, in this room, typing on this computer..... still having to visit the nurses, every other day - just to get my dressings changed.

I would not change things - the back surgery, that is.... I'm pleased, that I had it done - altho' it has taken sooooo long, to get better & stop hurting !!

I saw the nurse, this morning. The wound is still open.... so, there is that to deal with, but - it's Ok. I'm getting very used to the pain now !! It's amazing, what you get used to.... even the bad bits !!

Going back, to yesterday....

I spent a very long while, sorting out some Cd's.... trying to get thru' the 50+ Pink Floyd albums, that are on the various shelves !! I think I've done all of them - tho' I'm missing one Cd, from their 1977 American tour !! I know it's here, someplace... I just don't know exactly where !!

It's dumb, I know... to be missing one Cd & even worse still, to know there is a Cd missing !! Nevermind... it is either lost, or it will turn up - that;s about it really.... no biggy !!
