Led Zeppelin's 'Presence'..... Ho-hum !!

Greetings World's !!

How is your bit of the Universe treating you ? It's a Wednesday, here in England - not too warm outside.... but, I'm in the homestead, typing these words to you & I'm a happy Pilgrim !!

I've just come home, from another trip to the local surgery - it being a Wednesday, I've had my dressings changed again. We have a new-ish nurse, at the surgery & she is quite nice..... tho' am little slow & methodical !! To start with - last month, when she started, it was a little bit of a problem.... she would take forever to do the things - but, now... well, she has either sped up, or I've got used to her !!

Nevermind... I'm home now......

As for the family..... Well, B is upstairs, in her "Craft Cave" doing some kind of bag thingy - I've learnt, when she says "I'm going to do... " whatever it is - I just nod in agreement & let her get on with it. She always shows me the end product - sooooo, it all makes sense in the end !!

As for the rest of the Clan.... as I mentioned before, the M & M's were here over the weekend, but I think they're both working this week..... We will see them soon, I'm certain of that. Bless them....

That just leaves the cats...

Archie is asleep, on this really warm blanket, he has found, in the hall way. It's on a chair & he has taken up residence on the thing, day & night !! As for the rest of them... well.... I know Merry is up on our bed, but I'm not 100% sure where the other two are ?! I'm sure they will be here, when their stomachs need more food !! Oh well...

While we were at the surgery, B reminded me that I'm due another MRI scan, on Sunday !! I'm not sure how many I've had, in the last few months, but... it's been at least 3, so far this year !! I don't mind - it's a little bit of a pain, laying on my back, while they stick me into the "tunnel" - but, apart from that, it's Ok.

We knew one guy, who wouldn't go into the scanner, unless he was knocked out !! He couldn't bring himself, to go into the "tunnel" as he hated being in such a close, confined space..... I don't really think about it too much.

The more you worry about being stuck in the thing, the worse it seems to get !! For me - yep, it's another scan, but - the sooner it's done, the better !! I did forget, that i was due another one.... oh well. I will have to see the Consultant, shortly afterwards - next Wednesday, I believe - sooooo, he'll decided what to do after that, I guess. It's his call......

I hope for one of two outcomes really. He either decides to take the metalwork out of my back, or he decides against it. I don't really want to come out, of the meeting, not really knowing what his long term plans are. I do not really want to have to go back, in a few months & go thru' it all again !! Either the metalwork comes out, or it stays in.... one or the other !!

Ok - I do not really want another operation, but... I hate all of this not knowing what is going to happen !! When - as I've written before - I was last in hospital, he was all set to take it out.... then he changed his mind, at the last minute, because he decided I was too sick..... Oh well... I'll see how things pan out I guess. I will let you know, how things go......

As for the music of the moment...

Well - I'm playing a fantastic concert, by the Allman Brothers, from their September 7th 2014 'Locken Festival' appearance. The tracks are:

CD 1

1) Introduction
2) Statesboro Blues
3) Done Somebody Wrong
4) Stormy Monday
5) You Don't Love Me
6) Hot 'Lanta
7) In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed
8) JaMaBuBu
9) In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed - Reprise

CD 2

1) Whipping Post
2) Crowd Noise
3) Dedication to Brian Farmer
4) Midnight Rider
5) Mountain Jam
6) Blue Sky
7) Little Martha
8) Mountain Jam - Reprise

Ok - I know it's only a 2 Cd show - but, the tracks played are really good !! I've taken the time - over the last few weeks, to actually listen, to the concerts, from 2014 & they are all leaving me wanted more. Great concerts, from a great band !!

A little earlier.... I was trying to listen to Led Zeppelin's 'Presence' re-issue.... actually, the bonus Cd. I gave up - I just find all of this re-issue stuff, well - a bit of a joke really !! It's Ok - I know I paid for the album.... but, it is kind of crap !! Nevermind - I hope the 'Coda' tracks will be better.... they can't be much worse really !!

Right my plans for today....

We ll, I'm going to play some more Allman's concerts - plus, I have a few more Cd's to list & put away. I've got behind, with all of that really..... it's Ok - it will all get done, eventually. Maybe not all today - but, over the coming weeks... as long as I can keep breathing, that is - mainly as I keep getting new albums, all of the time & I just seem to get behind, as to listing them !!

Once I get some shelves up, in the spare room - my little "Man Cave" if I dare call it that ? - things will be easier. I hope..... !! Time will tell on that one, I guess..... depends on how quickly I can turn the old bedroom, into my own little bit of a store room !! I'm not holding my breath.....

So, for today - with 'Whipping Post' coming to an end... I will be on my ways. I thank you all, for taking the time, to log in & read my words..... until next time...

Bye Bye
