'Hotter Than The Hindenburg' !! Ho-hum...

Well "Hi" again World's !!

It's a very wet & horrid Saturday, here in England's South-West tip.... not very nice at all !! Having said that - I ain't going anywhere !! I've had a really bad night - not actually getting any sleep, until gone 4am this morning !! It's now about 1pm & I'm seriously not firing on all thrusters !!

I went into the spare room - a couple of days ago & I'm paying the price for it all now !! It's Ok our Son, saying "get rid of it" as far as his stuff is concerned - but, jerks like me, have to go in there & sort it, reading for dumping !!

The result is, I am now, officially- the World's first Human Jellyfish !! I have little or no control of my back & since the metalwork was taken out, my lower back is taking & failing to take the strain, that the metalwork, actually held in place !!

With the result, that just sitting down, is hurting like crazy - as for laying in bed - for some reason, that was worse !! I don't know..... but last night, it took, way too many pain pills, some morphine, 5 sleeping tablets - plus my 4am morning pills (hence I know I was still awake at 4am) before I finally went to sleep !! It's crazy !! It's Ok - I'll keep the  World's pharmaceutical companies, in business, all on my own !!

On Tuesday, of next week - I have to see the Consultant - sooooo, I'll let him know what is going on & we're go from there. It might be a case of getting my upper body strength back, but - in the meantime, it hurts like crazy !! Nevermind.....

As for the family....

B is upstairs, still tidying her craft cave !! She's been at it, for 3 days now - and it's all coming together !! As soon as I can get the spare room sorted, some of her stuff, the stacking tubs, can go in there..... not today tho' !! I have at least 6 or 7 boxes, ready to move - but, that's out of the question, as far as this week is concerned !!

I wish our wayward Son had agreed, to pick up the storage tab, all of this could have been avoided - but, he wants us to get rid of his stuff & that's what I have to do !! We gave him the choice, but..... it's his life & his stuff is no longer any of my concern........

As for the M & M's.... I've not seen them for a few days - it could be they're back to work, this coming week & spending their well earned spare time together.... shit, I don't blame them for that !!

Whenever I was working & had some time off, we would spend time, on the beach - 10 minutes from where we lived & just let the guys have their own fun, while we kicked back !! Happier times....

I've just realised, Archie - our youngest cat, is over to my left.... at 30 months old, he is turning into a real softy !! I've just spent some time with him - a real softy, tho' ME doesn't agree with me on that !! Their cat - Bruce - is probably the better of the 2.... but, I'll still love Archie above the 2 of them - he's my cat !!

Right... 'The Music Of The Moment' !!

As I type, I'm listening to Led Zeppelin's 'Hotter Than The Hindenburg' bootleg. It was recorded in Frankfurt, during the 1980 European tour & the tracks are:

  1) Train Kept A Rollin'
  2) Nobodies Fault But Mine
  3) Black Dog
  4) In The Evening
  5) The Rain Song
  6) Hot Dog
  7) All My Love
  8) Trampled Underfoot
  9) Since I've Been Loving You
10) Achilles Last Stand

This tour finished, on July 7th that year & a month or 2 later, John Bonham died.... hence the band split up, never to return, as the foursome that had taken on the World & made it their own...... one of my favourite bands, who I was lucky to see on 2 separate occasions.

This is a bootleg - don't buy boots... buy a bands official stuff & make do with that. If you do get chance, to get a bootleg... don't buy it !! That's what I say, at least..... don't buy bootlegs !!

Right - I've mentioned my plans, to sort out the Cd collection. Well - to that end, B helped me move 2 compete shelves of Cd's last night, ready to go thru' as time permits !! I have to do them, kind of quickly - as they're on the floor & taking up some space !! They have to be done !!

I've just taken a break, ME - our pretty & special Daughter has come to spend some time with us.... so, to be polite, I'm going to switch this all off & sit back....

I see I'm up around 19,000 page views !! Sooooo - I thank all of you, for taking the time, to push the total so high !! When I started this - I didn't know if anybody would read my words.... 19,000 !! "Wow !!"

I'll be back again, maybe tomorrow.... until next time....

Bye Bye
