".....and so my watch begins..."

Greetings !!

It's the middle of the night - well, actually, it's a little after 10am.... it just feels really dumb & early !! But - today is, kind of, a special day !! My stairlift thingy is due to have it's first service, in 2 years !!

Sooooo - because I'm expecting a man, in a van, to come.... I'm up bright & early, in order to be "eyes wide open" when he gets here.... I want to see what he does, then next time, I can do it all myself !! Today's visit - well, that's going to cost me about £75.... so, I don't want to be doing this too often !!

Of course - if you go back a few weeks or so, you will read about how I was waiting for the same guy, to get here.... for a whole day !! In the end - well, I told the office he was too late & he would have to re-book. I don't mind, if I set up a visit, if the guy is an hour late - but, last time !!

As for the family...

Well, B is upstairs, doing a bit of housework..... not quite exactly sure where - I mean which room she is in ?! Heck - there are only 4... sooooo - she won't be overly long, I guess.

Oh staying with the family - today is the first day, that we start buying our Daughter's little car.... if she still wants to sell it, that is !! ME wants to change hers, next year... and B really wants to buy her old one, so today is the start of all of that.

There is no way, that I'm paying out for it, in one hit - so... my plan is to give ME so much per month, then - when she is ready, we'll take her car on. It is a nice car.... and our old banger won't last too many more years. It's now in it's 20's - and it has served us well.... I just don't think it's going to last much longer !!

I see, that the Queen is in Germany, as I type !! Bless her cotton socks !! It's going to be a real bummer, when Charles takes over, him & his carthorse !! Why can't we skip a generation or two & go straight to baby George ?! At least the kid has charisma..... something Charles will never have !! Oh well - that's going to get me a slagging !!

As for the music of the moment...

Well - as you all know, I've been going thru' the Cd's... trying to label them all up, incase my next flying visit to the hospital, results in a slow drive to Lyme Regis !! One of the Cd's is an orchestrated Pink Floyd greatest hits type thing. It's kind of weird... but, very soothing, given how early it is !!

The tracks are:

1) Shine On You Crazy Diamond
2) Money
3) us & Them
4) Hey You
5) Another Brick In The Wall
6) Wish You Were Here
7) Time
8) The Great Gig In The Sky
9) In The Flesh

It's all performed by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.... give it a listen. I sort of knew, that I had a copy - I just didn't know where... a good listen & play it loud !!

Right - I must go.... for now, at least. I've nothing to do, but... I may as well, spend the rest of the day, not doing it !!

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

Bye Bye
