Monday, Monday again & again....

Well greeting's World's !!

I hope your afternoon is going well & life is treating you well ?! It's a little after 3pm here in England & I'm just kind of waking up. Ok - I know it's a bit late in the day - but, I've been a bit poorly & slept in this morning.

I did plan on going with B, into town - but me ol' body wasn't really up for the trip, so I went back to bed & slept the morning away I feel a lot better now, so that's got to be a bonus & that's a fact !!

As for My Wife & Dearest Friend, she is across the road, picking something up, from one of the better neighbours. To try & explain..

Because I wasn't feeling too special - B took the neighbour with her, into town.... and, between them, they had a great morning of doing things. Going to this shop & that shop. The neighbour doesn't get out much, sooooo she was well pleased to have a look around....... Somehow, tho' - something B bought, turned up in the neighbour's bag & B has now gone to fetch it. It's all good...

One of the shops, that they went into, is a place, that I want to go - to get some frames, for a couple or 3 posters, that I have. Ok - 2 of them, are not everybody's cup of tea.... to explain...

I've written about these before, I know, but.... I have 2 giant posters, of my back. One is of my wound & one is of the MRI of the metalwork. A sort of "before & after" shot.... not to everyone's taste... but, I wanted them & B got them made up to poster size !!

The 3rd poster - well, that's not sooooo weird. It's one of the maps, from 'Lord Of The Rings'. I've had it for a couple of years & now I've decided to get it framed up. All 3 of them, well - I have a 4th poster, which is already framed & all 4 of them will hang in the spare room, somehow. I've no real clue, where they're going to go (being so big) but, I'll find a place for them !!

If I can get the same type of frame, that would be good..... but - time will tell on that !! I'll try & match the 3 to the 4th one.... then they will all look - kind of - the same !! I'll see how things go, I guess....

Staying with the spare room...

I will have to decide what to do, with the furniture, that's in there. It's kind of surplus to requirements, since... well, read older posts, to find out why. Anyhoo - if I can move the furniture out - that will give me, a really great place, to built my next model railway !!

I've used an 8 by 4 board over the years, by I would really like to have a go, at a 10 by 6 size thingy..... giving me, that bit of extra width & making all of the track, that much longer !!

I have a vague plan, in my head & the extra 20 square feet of board would really help that come to into reality !! Once again - time will tell.... I still have loads of things to throw out first - sooooo I'll have to see how things turn out !!

Anyhoo - that's a plan, for sometime, down the road - not something that will take a lot of this, that & the other.... just something for the future !!

Talking of "the future" - I'm heading back to the hospital, tomorrow morning !! As I wrote, on Saturday (I think) my Consultant 'phoned on Friday night & wanted me to go & see him, this week. Well - this morning his secretary 'phoned & I've been asked to report in, at 9am tomorrow morning.

As things stand... he may not like, what he is going to see... !!

I had my dressings changed, on Friday.... but, because things were not so good, I asked B to arrange for me, to go to the dressings clinic, at our hospital, in town. Sooooo - she made a couple of 'phone calls & the Dr. she spoke to, told her, to take me to the clinic there. It seems, that I was to be expected...... yeah, right !!

We went in & there were lots of people waiting and all of them, had 2pm appointments.... just like ourselves. Unfortunately - we were not expected & our names were not on the list !!

In a nut shell - it meant that I wasn't going to be seen, if at all, for up to 3 hours.... so, I just said "Ok" and left the nurses to sort it out. One of them did chase after me - to try and sort things out, before I left - but, I was not going to wait around, for a few hours, just to be told, "sorry" at the end of the afternoon !!

That's twice now - inside a couple of weeks, that I've gone to the hospital & had to leave, with-out being seen !! It's got to be the worse joke in the World. To go to a hospital & to be turned away, simply because they didn't know you were coming !! Really dumb...

The downside of all of this, is quite simple..... My Consultant is going to unwrap a dressing, that is not very nice at all - so he will get to see, first hand, just how bad it is, with out having anyone cleaning it up, before he gets to put his hands on it !!

I suppose - there is an upside, to all of this. For all the reasons I've just written !! He will see it, as it really is - and not after someone has cleaned it up for him.... that's going to be interesting !!

Oh well..... I'm sure I will let you know how things turn out... it's going to be interesting & that's a fact !!

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

As I type, I'm playing an old concert, from the Allman Brothers. I was clearing one of the shelves, last night & this concert was one of the (many) Cd's I took off, to try & list. It's from August 11 2012 & I think it's the first night of the 'Peach Fest' concerts, that year. Anyhoo - the tracks are:

CD 1

1) Don't Want You Know More
2) It's Not My Cross To Bear
3) Trouble No More
4) Come & Go Blues

CD 2

1) Mountain Jam
2) Blue Sky
3) Don't Keep Me Wondering
4) Into The Mystic

It's a great concert - Cd 2 just flows sooooo nicely, it's unreal !! Go to 'Hittin' The Note' and you pick up loads of old concerts, via Sir J's & Lady V's web site. Go on - treat yourselves !!

Right - I best away...

I've spent a bit of time, over the weekend & this afternoon, getting the tracks, sorted out, for my 'The Hobbit' Cd's. As I've written before, I love hearing films, on Cd.... especially, when I'm stuck in hospital. So, I've been getting the timings from the Blue Ray's & - at some point - I'll put the films onto my iPod thingy & several Cd's.

I think, it's going to take about 9 Cd's in total - mainly as the films are about 3 hours in length. That will meant 3 Cd's per film & lots of fun, for me !! Oh well, what more can I say - I'm an idiot & that's a fact !!

Right, I must away.... things to do & stuff like that. So - I thank you, for taking the time, to log in & read my words. I appreciate that you keep coming back, post after post. You really need to get a life !! Ok - thank's again... until next time...

Bye Bye
