"It doesn't have any jambags".... Ho-hum !!

Hi again World's !!

How is your bit of the Universe treating you this fine day ?! It's a Thursday, here in England & I'm home alone - for a few hours at least. B - My Wife & Dearest Friend - has gone for a drive...

Tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of her Mum's death & B has gone to the Churchyard, to lay some flowers on the grave & to visit her Aunt & Dad (I guess)..... she should be home in a few hours - I'm not sure just how many, but when she gets here, that's when I'll see her again !!

I would of tried to have gone for the ride.... but, we both agreed, a journey in the car, over such a distance, well - it probably wouldn't of been too much. I'm still putting up with various pains, in my back....... where the wound is still healing, from my most recent surgery & I think sitting in the car wouldn't of been too good an idea !!

Plus - for some reason, I'm struggling with my various pills & potions this morning.... having played "The Game of Thrones" this morning !! Oh well - I'll take my lunchtime pills, in a couple of hours & try to keep them down.... time will tell on that subject !!

Sooooo - B is out.... as for the rest of the family........ I think ME is coming over, tomorrow - as M is going out for most of the day - so I'll see her then. I'm not privy to our Son's doings, so I can't tell you anything about him. Just assume he still hates my guts & I'll leave it at that !!

As soon as my back heals a bit more - I'll get into the spare room & throw' more of his old stuff away. I really want to get on with that little job - at the moment, things are in a state of limbo up there & I need to crack on with it !! Oh well.....

I'll need to get some more boxes, at some point..... it's amazing how many we've used so far - with the stuff in the loft & all the other junk, that I've put up there !! This week, alone, I've had 5 more models arrive...... all of which need to be boxed & put away !! The loft has never been so tidy !! Ho-hum....

While I'm typing these words, I watching/listening to the extended version of 'The Battle Of The Five Armies' on Blue-ray......... it's well good !! In time, I will transfer it over to Cd - to go along with 'The Lord Of The Rings' Cd's that I did some years ago.

While I was in hospital - I listened to, not only the Cd's of the 'LOTR's' movies - but also the complete BBC version of the same story. There are obviously some major differences in the 2, but, I spent a bit of time, just laying on the bed & chilling out..... great stuff !!

One thing, that I did find funny.... I also listened to the BBC version, of 'The Hobbit' - and on that, or in that (?) the people of Lake Town spoke with Welsh accents, just like Bard in the movie version of the book !! That was a good bit - did Peter Jackson get that off the BBC ?! I wonder....

Of course - not everything that happened in the last 4 weeks was funny. There were the horrible events that happened in Paris & Mali...... if anyone involved, is reading my words, well.... you are in my thoughts.

I did think that the Mother of Ibrahim Abdeslam - one of the suicide bombers - was being really naive, when she said "Ibrahim did not mean to kill anyone" and that he had probably "blown himself up, because of stress or because his suicide jacket went off by accident".

How fu++king stupid is that !! You don't put a bomb around your body, if you don't intend on using it.... dumb bitch !! That's going to get me some hate mail & that's for sure !! Never mind..... 130 or so people died in Paris.... isis (small letters) are a bunch of bastards & need to be sorted out - one way or another.

I was really pleased that Mohammed Emwazi was killed.... to quote a man on TV.... he was "vaporized" in a drone attack !! "Jihadi John" is no more..... thank the heavens above - he will not kill anyone else !!

I was also in hospital, when the news of Jonah Lomu came thru' - I hope I've spelt his name right - and his death on November 18th. He was 40 years old & one of the true giants in rugby !! Bless him... he was also a Latter Day Saint !!

...... Talking of "giants".....

One night, a guy came into the hospital and he was really big..... !! He was 6' 8" tall & built like a brick out house, to go with it !! A really nice guy, a "gentle giant" if there ever was one... we helped him out a bit.....

He was over here, from America & couldn't contact his American girlfriend. Sooooo - to help him, B 'phoned the ladies office, in New York (from home) and left a message for her, so that she could call her boyfriend in the hospital.

It all worked out really well.... once she got the message, she was on the 'phone right away !! Never let it be said, that a Latter-Day Saint family will not help those he need it !! I was really glad to help out..... he needed it !!

Lots of other things happened, over the last month..... but, those are for another day...... I'll go on about those another time, probably !! As for the music of the moment....

Well, I'm still watching 'The Battle etc etc' on the TV..... but, after it, I want to play 'Live At The Fillmore East - December 1969' by The Nice. I've played it, on the Mini Egg, while I was in hospital, but I want to give it a good listen, thru' the Bose..... the tracks are:

CD 1

1) Rondo
2) Ars Longa Vita Brevis
3) Little Arabella
4) She Belongs To Me

CD 2

1) Country Pie
2) Five Bridges Suite
3) Hang On To A Dream
4) Intermezzo: Karelia Suite
5) America
6) War & Peace

I'm not sure about all of the spellings - but, I think I've got it all right. It's a really good album, especially the version of 'America'.... well good !!

Right, my plans for the rest of the day.... I have a couple, none to special tho'. I want to tidy my computer table & put away some of my junk, that has built up over the last few months. Even tho' some of it has been put here, over the few weeks I was away..... I just have to go thru' it all !!

Sooooo - for now, I will be on my ways & get started on my little clear up !! I thank you all for logging in & reading my words - as always, it's good to know you're "out there" !! Try & watch 'The Battle Of The Five Armies' it's worth it, just to hear the "jambags" line - well, I think so at least...... until next time...

Bye Bye
