Grateful Dead & Yes... Ho-hum...

Hi again World's !!

Is you bit of the Universe treating you well ? I really hope so.... it's a warm & dark Tuesday evening, here in England !! I didn't realise, that it was heading towards 5pm, until I looked across, at the TV !! I'm not really sure, where today has gone !!

Ok - that's a bit of a white lie.... I spent most of the morning, actually in bed. As with yesterday, I'm still fighting off my pain demons & after another sleepless night, I used this morning to catch up a bit.

First tho' the family !!

B - My Wife & Dearest Friend - is heading out, in a short while, to go to her weight-watchers group. But, as I type, she is over to my left, doing some fabric cutting out. I'm not really sure, just how to word it... she is on the floor, cutting out these various shapes.... so, fabric cutting out !!

On Saturday, she is going to a craft fair... so, she is busy working on her final items, to take with her. I still don't think she has enough stuff, but it's her first time - sooooo, we'll see how things go !!

As for the rest of the family... well, we saw ME a couple of days ago.... and, when I see her or her partner, M, again... well, I have another little gift for him !! Nothing too special, but he might like it.....

Oh, I forgot - going back to yesterday morning.....

As I wrote, B took me down to the Dr's surgery, for another dressings change, followed by a trip into town. Well, before leaving the village, we called in to the local Post Office. To be more precise - B went into the P.O. & I sat in the car.

Anyhoo - this woman came down the hill & - simply put - drove her car, into the side of a parked car. She just didn't leave enough room and "bang" she hit the car !! If that wasn't bad enough - she reversed up a bit, to go around the parked car, to give it a bit more room..... only, when she drove forward again - she hit the parked car, for a 2nd time !!

I am a very firm believer, in making the older members of our population, take a driving test - to prove they can actually drive.... without hitting anything !! Yesterday was a case in point.... to hit a parked car once, is bad enough.... but, to hit it again, just a few minutes later... well !!

On a happier not - no one was injured & a bit of karma came & bit her on the butt, in as much as her car took a big chunk of damage...... much more than the car she hit !! Great stuff, but not so good really !!

Again, going back to yesterday... the Government lost a big vote, in The House Of Lords. I'm glad they did - it's good, once in a while, for the Government, to actually get knocked back a bit.... it stops them being to dictatorial !! Nevermind....

As for the music of the moment, I'm listening to & have been, for most of the last 3 hours, to the 35th anniversary concert, by Yes. I didn't really plan on listening to it - it was put into the Cd player & I just kept it playing, while I was sat here, writing these words & some other stuff, while I was busy.

The tracks are:

  2) Going For The One

9) Rhythm Of Love

CD 3

1) And You & I
2) Ritual
3) Every Little Thing
4) Starship Trooper

It's not the best Yes live album - but, it's all music, sooooo.... !! I've enjoyed listening to it, again.... tho' - I still think it sounds too much like a bootleg, either deliberately or other wise !!

It will finish, in a minute.... then I will listening to a bit of The Grateful Dead !! It's Cd 3 - from the 5 Cd 'Soundtrack' album. The tracks are:

1) Weather Report Suite
2) Jam
3) Dark Star
4) Morning Dew
5) Not Fade Away
6) Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad

Ok - it's way different than the Yes stuff, I've been playing - but, it's all good.... besides, with B out of the house, I can turn the sound, down to deafening & enjoy myself !!

I have to be a bit careful.... I need to listen out for the 'phone. I gave in to the pain, a little earlier & called the Consultant, in the hospital. This pain has gone on, for far tooooooo long & I'm hoping he can change a few things around, to hep get rid of it all. As I said to the nurse yesterday - there is only sooooo much morphine I can take...... I need some kind of change around, maybe with my antibiotics or something, to get on top of it all !!

I hope he will have time to call me back, tonight.... I don't want to go into hospital, but if it comes down to that, well.... I will go with the flow & take it a day at a time. Time will tell, I guess.....

B says she will take me in, tonight.... but.... !!

Right, I best be on my ways & sort out a few things - mainly to put into my "hospital" bag.... just in case I need it. It really comes to something, when I have a bag, especially for hospital stays !! Nevermind...

I thank you all, for logging & reading my words... until next time...

Bye Bye
