Status Quo & other naked thoughts.. Ho-hum !!

Hi again World's !!

It's a very warm Monday - here in England's South-West corner.... looking out thru' the living room window, the sky is blue & the beach - way over - in the distance, looks really great, with the Sun reflecting off the sand.... a great day to be alive !!

If I could only stop my blooming back, from hurting as bad as it does, at the moment... well, that's another thing !! I had my dressings changed, this morning... well, it's still hurting & there is nothing I can do, about that !! Other than take some more morphine.... there is only sooooo much I can take, in one "hit" with-out going completely flaky !! Nevermind...........

As I type, B is behind me, in the kitchen, cooking up some cookies - chocolate chip, I think.... so, in a short while, the whole house will smell of that fresh baked smell !!

I think she is cutting back, on the amount of chips, she is putting in. The recipe' calls for 400 gm - which, even by our standards, is a bit too much !! Oh well.... I will let you know, how things turn out - I love the taste of fresh backed stuff !!

As for the rest of the family...

The M & M's were here, over the weekend - Saturday afternoon, I think. I honestly can't remember !! They stayed for an hour or so - as always, it's great to see them. When they get home, today - they will find a little surprise, on their door-mat. I'm not going to say, exactly what.... it will be a little surprise !!

As for J - well, that's all quiet, on the Western Wales front... to use a play on a film's name !! I can't keep on, e-mailing him... I've not got the fight in me, anymore - I've given up. What happened last week, well - that was one step too far, for me, at least.

The music of the moment - well, that's Status Quo's 'Aquostic - Laid Bare' album. I've had the thing a little while now, but this is the first time, that I've given it a bit of a listen !! The tracks are:

When I had my first car - with a really crap stereo, which I put in.... well, I bought loads of pre-recorded cassettes. I mentioned before, about buying the first 3 albums, by Queen....... well, I also bought practically every album, I could find, by the mighty Quo !!

I would play the tapes to death - not just in the car, but on the Sony tape deck, that I bought along, with my first really expensive hi/fi set up. The old Wharfedale speakers - well, they are still here, blasting out, between the Bose !!

I kept them safe - incase J wanted them, one day.... yep..... !! It might happen, one day - it's got to be when he wants them, I guess !! They do give out a really great bass tho' - thru' their 12 inch speakers !!

Moving on......

I spoke with my friend, a little while back. Hopefully my little 'phone calls cheer him up, just a bit !! For once - I really do know, how he is feeling, having been thru' the same sort of thing, many, many Moons ago..... keep smiling my friend !!

Right - my plans, for the rest of the day.... bugger all really !!

I do have a couple (5) piles of Cd's to work my ways thru' - but, I can't be dealing with them, tonight !! Tomorrow, morning, B has a friend coming over, to have a chatter & put the World to rights. So - while they are having a natter, I'll either stay in bed, or i will start on the Cd's. Time will tell, on that one.....

For now tho' - I will be on my ways. As always, I thank you for logging in & for reading my words !! I still think you should find something better, to do with your time.... no, I'm only joking !! I must go - I think I've said that already... until next time...

Bye Bye
