A cold & wet day... with music !!

Well "Hi" again everybody !!

It's been a very wet & nasty Tuesday, here in England... I think it has stopped raining, for the time being - but, I ain't going outside, just to check !! The heating is on & I'm nice & warm, just where I am, thank you very much !!

As I type, B has just left the house, for a couple of hours - to attend a "new" weight-watchers class..... she started last week & tonight will be her first "proper" visit. Hopefully, she has lost a few pounds, if nothing else, to giver her a boost & a reason to attend further sessions. Time will tel on that one, I guess...

We had a lovely afternoon, just sitting here, watching TV & chewing the fat, with our Daughter ME, who made a surprise visit. It's always great to see her... she makes my day, whenever she pops in !!

I'm glad to say, she is doing well.... our first Grandchild id doing well.... we actually heard a recording of the heartbeat, today !! Brilliant - really brilliant !! I'm going to be an 'official' Grandfather !! That's really cool..... !!

She left, about the same time as B... both were heading that ways. I hope they both had a safe journey. The road between here & town is pretty bad - just yesterday, we saw the wreckage of another car smash, littering the roadways. It's a nasty bit of road... it really is.

Anyhoo - with the house, all to myself.... the music is well loud & beating away to my delight !! Once again - it's an Allman Brothers concert - this time, one of the earliest ones, that I ever bought on the 'instant live' type thing. The tracks are:

CD 1

1) Don't Keep Me Wondering
2) Done Somebody Wrong
3) Come & Go Blues
4) Woman Across The River
5) Gambler's Roll
6) Soulshine
7) Who's Been Talking
8) Don't Think Twice

CD 2

1) Old Before My Time
2) Wasted Words
3) Instrumental Illness
4) Into The Mystic

CD 3

1) Dreams
2) Whipping Post
3) One Way Out

It was recorded in the Alltel Pavilion at Walnut Creek, Raleigh NC. on 10th August 2003...... just a while after the bands 'Hittin' The Note' album. It's a really great live set & shows how good the band could be "on the night" !! Well good !!

I was going to play a show, from the previous night - but, I got my boxes mixed up...... nevermind !! Maybe tomorrow...

Actually - it won't be tomorrow - we're going out for the day... well, doing a bit of this, that & the other.... sooooo I probably won't get around to it !! nevermind - it's going to be a good day, no matter what happens really...

If & it's a big if... the rain holds off, on Thursday, we're thinking of making a trip to the seaside !! That might sound dumb & to be honest, it probably is.... but, we've not been to this particular town, in a while, sooooo we thought we would give it a go !! I will let you know, how thing turn out....

No matter what - on Saturday, I'm heading towards the 'City of Wells' - for the record fair. I missed the last one, in Exeter, so I'm looking forward to this trip & meeting up with some friends, seeing what's new & stuff like that !! I'll enjoy myself - even if it's pouring with rain at the time !!

B knows her ways around the city - so it should be alright, especially if we can park close by... that would be a bonus !! I shall take some cash & enjoy myself, with whatever I can find.... tho' - I will take better notice this time around !!

Last time - I picked up a "new" Roky Erickson album, only to find it was one of his old ones, just glossed up a bit.... a bummer really. No biggy, I think I gave the M & M's the old one - tho' I can't really remember !! I will just have to watch what I'm buying this time around... ho-hum !!

Talking about old & new...

We - it seems - have a new Bishop, in the Church we "attend" in Taunton !! We found out, via the dreaded Facebook, this morning !! I know the man, who has been - shall we say - "promoted" ....Time will tell, on how things will turn out, with regards to our views on the local Church & how it's run.

Actually - The Church is run, just fine.... it all depends on how we feel, - the ways we are treated, with-in The Church !! It's hard to be a firm Church member, when, after spending months and now years sick, we've had sooooo little help, from The Church, that we've become disenchanted with the whole thing !!

I personally love The Church.... but !! It's very hard work, at times..... and I'm very fed up, with the lack of help, that B has been given, when I've been away, in hospital & she has been left "home alone" !! Oh well....

I must go... things to do & stuff like that....Thank you for logging in & reading my words... I will return in a couple of days... until next time...

Bye Bye
