'Live At Luna Park' & other stuff...

Hello again World's !!

It's a Friday, here in England... it's kind of wet outside - not very nice at all really !! We have just come back, from a quick trip to the supermarket & it was really nasty, with the cold & drizzle, nevermind...

I had great plans, to write yesterday, but... the plans of mice & men etc etc !! I spent most of the day in bed, feeling really poorly. For some reason, I played the Game Of Thrones, in the bathroom in the wee hours, so I put myself back to bed & stayed there for a goodly number of hours. I'm not sure what it was that caused all of the problems - probably something I ate...... hope so anyways !!

More of that subject - kind off - later.... first 'My Family' !!

As I type, B is behind me, in the kitchen, making some cakes.... the house is full of the smells of fresh baking !! I think she is making some small cakes today - they last longer, than a big thingy..... plus, I've just been told there are going to be a bunch of shortbread cakes as well !! Great stuff !!

Yesterday, B took 2 of the ladies from the village, into Taunton to do some Christmas shopping. Being completely selfish, I would of preferred her to have stayed at home - but, the plans had been made, while I was stuck in hospital, sooooo they were kind of hard to cancel. My being poorly, would of meant putting the ladies off & that had already been done, last week, when i came home. Oh well.....

As for the rest of the family...

Well, I think the M & M's are coming this ways tomorrow...... not 100% sure about that. I have a little something for them, but that can wait until I see them - if they don't make it over the weekend..... it'll keep !!

I understand that our Son sent B a text in the week - about Christmas gifts. He can send B all he likes, as for me... well, I can't imagine, given how much he hates my guts, that I can expect anything. To be honest - I don't want anything from him anymore.... that "bridge has been burnt" to quote one of his e-mails to me !! Oh well.... life goes on.......

Going back to the above.... I hoped it was "something I ate", that was making me feel poorly yesterday. To explain....

My back seems to be playing up again !! On Monday, I had a blood test & that has shown my infection levels have gone from 6, all the ways up to 45 !! Not good !! Add to that, the actual back wound is starting to go a bit funny & the 2 things together might be part of the reason I was feeling sick yesterday. I hope not.... but, if Monday's blood test - next week - shows it has got worse, well.... I guess I'll have to contact the Consultant again & see what he says !!

Time will tell, on that, I guess - but.... I'm keeping all of my fingers crossed, to make sure things don't go South again !! I'm taking all of the medications, sooooo - in theory - things should sort themselves out. I'll have to wait & see...... !!

Enough of all of that... onto the music of the moment !!

I'm listening to the Nightwish album....'Endless Forms Most Beautiful' as I type...... for me, their best album to date (I'm bias) - especially the last track 'The Greatest Show On Earth'. Brilliant !!

A bit before that, I was playing Dream Theater's 'Live At Luna Park'. I have sooooo many 'live' albums by the band.... going back over the years, all official I must point out, that I rarely play the 'Luna Park' set. Today tho' - I thought I would give it a blast thru' !! It's really good - tho' the drum solo is a bit of an oddity..... just being on it's own, oh well.

Right, I best think about closing this off, for now...... I've got to the point where I need my afternoon sleep - only joking, but I will chill out for a couple of hours, just to regenerate my old bones !!
