Rush & Kermit the frog..... Ho-hum...

Greetings World's !!

How is your part of the Universe treating you today ? It's a wet & dreary day, here in England's South-West corner. It was really good this morning, bright & Sunny, not now tho'.... it's raining again !! Honestly - this year is starting off, just the same as the old one finished.... wet & horrid !! Oh well...

Starting off with the family.... As I type, My Wife & Dearest Friend - B - is sat to my left, knitting something for our Grand Daughter to be. It's a red something or other - I'm not really sure what it is, but it looks good, that's the main thing. Of course, it's got to fit as well..... but, that will depend on the baby !! Time will tell on that subject !!

This morning, B drove me to the hospital.... I had a check up booked, with the boss - my Consultant, the guy who's operated on me, for 7 of the last 11 surgeries. A great guy.... who allows me, to call him by his first name, which is pretty good !!

Anyhoo - my back is hurting like crazy, as I told him, it's really f***ing getting to me now. Sooooo - I'm going to have another MRI, sometime soon & we're going to have to wait & see, how that goes. I'm hoping things will go - or I should say - will get better, on their own.... but, once again, time will tell !!

As for the rest of the family.... well.... The M & M's have gone back to serious working, after the Christmas holidays. ME didn't really have much of a break.... but, what she did have, seemed to suit her. She's looking really well - happy & pregnant !! Bless her heart !! The baby is a coming & that's a fact !!

I mentioned going to the hospital.... this afternoon, I had to go to the local Dr's to have my dressings changed. To be honest - it hurt a bit more today. That's nothing to do, with what the boss did this morning, it's just the dressings haven't been looked at, for a few days..... so, that's the reason why (I think !!). Anyways - the dressings been looked at again + I've had another blood test. All in all, I've had a busy, medical day !!

I've just realised - I've not written anything for a couple of days...... sorry about that !! The last time I posted, was on Saturday. Sooooo - what have I been doing ? Nothing much really !!

We did plan on going to Church, on Sunday.... but, after a couple of nights of not being able to sleep (the back again) we both overslept on Sunday - hence no Church !! The services are now at 10am.... away from the 12 noon time, that they used to be on....... sooooo - waking up, at 10.15am.... well, you get the idea ?!

As for yesterday... well, I've no real excuse. I did spend a lot of the day, going thru' the Cd's & by the time I had finished doing that, well - in a nut shell - I didn't feel like writing anything !!

I was just a bit tardy & I had had enough finger/keyboard interaction for the day, so I gave up & switched the computer off.... hoping to get back today !! Guess what - I am back & I'm still doing the Cd's !!

Which brings me around to the music of the moment.... well, as I type, I'm listening to 'Time' - from the old 'Dub Side Of The Moon' album. I'm not sure when it came out, but I've had it here for a few years...... but, that's not the album I wanted to list.

That goes to the original Cd release of 'All The Worlds A Stage' by Rush....... the tracks are:

1) Bastille Day
2) Anthem
3) Fly By Night/In The Mood
4) Something For Nothing
5) Lakeside Park
6) 2112
7) By-Tor & The Snow Dog
8) In The End
9) Working Man/Finding My way

I'm not sure, if I have this album, on Lp anymore..... I know I used to have it, in the collection, but - I probably good rid of it, along with most of the Lp's a goodly while back. I did keep a few of their studio albums, but not this one. Oh well....

The reason, that I wrote the "original" thing, above, is simply it came out, when Cd's were mostly still only 74 minutes in length. The later release of the same album, came out with 'What You Doing' as the encore..... the Cd was longer & there was room for extra track. Ok - it's only me, being picky - but.... Life goes on !!

Just before I sign off tho'....

I've made a start on sorting out the Cd's !! Yep - at long last, I'm working on putting the Cd's into some kind of order..... it's only taken me 6 years, since I started making the list, but.... it is only 6 years !! I've had a lot going on, in that time - sooooo.... I think that's good enough, to use as an excuse ?!

As things stand.... I've done 5 shelves, so far - which to be honest, hasn't been that many Cd's, but... it's a start !! I haven't put them, into any kind of order.... but, I've gone back to my old list & I've been using that, as a guide, to what I've got.

Once I've done that... listed them.... I can then go thru' them & put them in some kind of order. I didn't see any point in going thru' them all - if I didn't know exactly what I had, in the first place !!

I could have fitted them, back on the shelves, then found a couple more Cd's, by the same group, which would meant that, I would of had to move things around, just to make things fit !! Oh well..... there is a little bit of sense, in among my madness !! Just a little bit...... nevermind....

Tonight, I'm tuning the computer, into a local station, to listen to the guy who sent us an e-mail, after nearly 20 years of nothing. He does a radio show, so - I want to hear a bit of it. He might be Ok.... but, he was always a bit of a jerk.... sooooo.... !!

I'll give him a listen....

Right - that's a plan for tonight..... listening to the radio & sorting thru' some more Cd's. Who knows, I might do another shelf !!

Tomorrow - well.... that's going to be a bit hectic. A friend is coming around at 9am, after which we are going into town, to buy a new dryer, pick up some printer ink & various things, that I've forgotten about !! Whatever happens... life will go on & I'll be a bit poorer, come this time, tomorrow night.... ain't life great ?!

Kermit is singing 'Hurt' - sooooo.... for now, I will say goodbye & as always, thank you for logging in & reading my words.... until next time...

Bye Bye
