Allman Brothers & Project '87 Ho-hum..

Greetings World's !!

How is your part of this fine World treating you today ?! It's bright & very Sunny here in England's South-West corner..... quite warm as well.... maybe this is the long lost Summer, that we've dreamed of - I doubt it !! If we get a week of dry weather, we'll be lucky...... nevermind - it's all good !!

As I type, B is out front, mowing the lawn...... I think the idea is, to attack the lawns, before they get drenched again. I don't think, that we've had much rain, over the last few days, sooooo - B is cutting it back, while we have a dry spell.

Anyhoo - enough of the weather & dry grass.......

I've only been up & out of bed, for a few hours. I really did not sleep very well, last night !! In the end, we both came down, to the living room & had a couple of hot drinks.

For me - well.... I rarely drink anything hot, but last night's hot chocolate - well, it went down really well !! I think B had some of the de-caff tea, that she drinks... 'Red Bush'... or whatever it's called. It looks pretty 'orrid - I hate to think what it taste like !! Anyways - the knock on effect was, I didn't get up very early !!

We did have to go, into town - but, as B was waiting for a package, in the post - well, we had decided to wait, until that had got here, before leaving home.... so, as it turned out, my staying in bed was no biggy. The postman came - with the stuff & all worked out well...... I'm still blooming knackered tho' - I hope it's not the start of another bug !! Time will tell......

As it was, we headed into town & did our bit of shopping... the supermarket wasn't too crowded today - that was a surprise, I expected more people to be about. I was not surprised, to see lots of grockles, in the car park and in the store, buying supplies for their holidays !!

This time of year, we are always inundated with holiday makers, come rain or shine...... I don't mind, tho' sometimes, we all find some of them to be a bit arrogant. Mind you - they treat us like jerks - sooooo, I guess the feelings are mutual !!

When I was in hospital - just before Easter - there was a guy, who liked our area so much, he had moved down here, with his Wife. He loved our accents.... tho' - his Wife had left him, after a couple of years of being here !! That must be a bit harsh... moving to another area, only to have your partner walk off..... oh well !!

As mentioned before - I'm going back to the hospital, tomorrow afternoon, for another MRI. B has told me, what time I have to be there, but.... I can't remember !! I know it's sometime, in the afternoon - sooooo, at least I get to sleep in, again !! Once more, into the tunnel, dear friends... once more !!

Then, on Monday.... I'm having another blood test, so everything will be ready, for when I see the Consultant, on Wednesday. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say !! Will he want to open me up again ? Who knows ?! Life is good, that's all I know...... and I'm glad of it !!

Just staying with the family, for a moment.... I've not seen anybody - so, the guys are probably doing Ok..... I'm sure they will let me know, as & when.. bless them !!

Sooooo - that just leaves the music of the moment !!

As I type, I'm listening to another Allman Brothers concert....... no surprises there !! This time around, I'm playing the very last one, that they played on October 28th. It was recorded at the Beacon Theatre, in New York. I've listed all of the tracks, on a previous post, so go & check that out, if you feel the need. It's a fantastic show....... very emotional !!

Staying with music tho'......

When I was last in hospital, I started listening to what I've always called 'Project '87'. It started off, on 42 cassettes & then I moved them over to 56 Cd's. Those were then put over to the Mini Egg (iPod) & I decided to play it, all the ways thru' - from Cd 1 - to Cd 56.......

I started on July 16th & I finished, playing all the tracks back, a little while ago !! Sooooo - that's about 3 weeks & 3 days, to play back all the 449 tracks....... give or take a couple, which I couldn't bring myself to listen to !!

It might seem a very long time, to play back just 449 tracks.... but, some of them were complete albums & some of the tracks were things by groups, who love to extend things !! Nevermind - I've enjoyed listening to it...... it's been a bit of fun !!

So - I must think about closing this down, for today..... I'm not going to list any album tracks, as I said above - the Allman's concert is listed some other place.... you can find it there, if you so wish.

Right - I must go.... As always, I thank you for logging in & reading my words - where ever you might be living.....  until next time...

Bye Bye
