'Pictures At Eleven' and the other one. Ho-hum !!

Well Greetings World's !!

It's a bright & cheerful Tuesday, here in England..... it's true, I've not been outside today - but it looks bright & dry !! I think I'll stay in the house, things to do & stuff like that !!

As I type - B is behind me, doing a bit of toast. She is going out, in a little while, so - before she goes, I'm having some of the bread stuff. Just one slice..... I don't eat too much, just the odd piece, now & again.

A little while ago - ME (our Daughter) was here for a couple of hours. It's lovely to see her again..... it's less than a month, until the baby is due !! It's amazing how quickly, these past months have gone by - it really is !! I love seeing my Daughter - she always brightens up my day......

The M & M's were here, together, on Sunday.... but, I slept thru' their visit. I know it was rude of me - but, I was feeling sooooo tired & under the weather, from my latest surgery..... it's a shame I missed them, I love seeing both of them !!

I must ask M - about his 'Lord Of The Rings' poster.... well, his 'Middle Earth' poster. The one, that I framed up, the other week, is from 'The Hobbit' & doesn't show Mordor !! It's no big deal - I just didn't notice it, until I had it framed. I want to ask M, if his poster is the same as mine..... I will let you know !!

Talking of frames - tomorrow, I'm going to pick up a couple more - to put my big posters in. They have to be 28 X 36 inches in size, but - as long as they match the first two, that I already have, I don't mind !!

It's going to be really weird, after all this time, having the posters framed up - but, they're unique to me & sooooo - I want them looked after !! It's certainly going to be fun !! Who else has giant posters of their back..... ?! Send me your answers on the back of a postcard.... Ho-hum !!

Staying with tomorrow....

I have to return to the hospital, to have my dressings changed & the stitches removed...... that's going to be fun !! My appointment is at 4.45pm - so before then, we'll head into Taunton's music shops & have a look around.... there might be the odd thing, for me to pick up. I don't know exactly what I'm after - but, it would be interesting to have a nose around !!

I'm not looking forward, to having the pain of the stitches removed - it doesn't hurt that much.... it's just uncomfortable, that's all. If there is a student nurse in the clinic, I'll let her/him remove them - it's one way for them to learn, after all.

I think there are 6 or 7 stitches, still to me removed - no biggy. Plus - apart from them - the Consultant has to give the wound, the once over.

I saw a nurse, yesterday - who changed the Vac dressing & according to her, it (the wound) was actually bigger !! I don't understand why - but, as long as it heals, I don't really care !! Life is good..... and it'll go on & on....

Talking of going on - B is going out, in a short while, to her weight-watchers class/meeting thingy. She hasn't been for a couple of weeks, with me being poorly & last week, being stuck in the hospital. I wouldn't blame her - if she stayed at home... plus, I get to have her company for a few extra hours !!

As for the music of the moment....

Well, to be honest - there really isn't any !! I'm listening to the second 'Hobbit' movie soundtrack. Yesterday, I sat down & transferred the DVD over to Cd.... and that's what is playing, as I type !! I did the first one, a day or 2 back - sooooo, that just leaves me the 3rd & final movie & all 3 will be done.

From there, I will put the movies onto my Mini Egg - iPod- thingy & that will mean I can listen to the 3 movies, one after the other, whenever I feel like it !!

If you've never read my words before - I've done a similar thing, with the 'Lord Of The Rings' movies, plus a couple of other films as well..... it gives me something to listen to, when I'm poorly, or stuck in the hospital. Hopefully - the latter will not happen again, but..... you can never tell !!

But - a little earlier - I was listening to Robert Plant's first 2 albums....... 'Pictures At Eleven' & 'The Principle Of Moments'. They were always 2 of my favourite albums, by Mr Plant - especially, as I saw him on his early tour, where he covered most of the songs !!

I bought the Lp's - then the original Cd's - after that, these 2 Cd's... with all of the bonus tracks on. Most of those, were on the 12 inch single releases..... which I still have here, in my album box !!

Right.....

Today is a bit of history, in the making, for me !! This is my 1000th post !! That means, in 5 years & 10 months (give or take a few days) I have put my finger to keyboard, in one form or another, 1000 times "Wow" !!

I can hardly believe it myself...... When I started this off - it was just a bit of a hobby for me, something to take my mind off, my various problems. Now - nearly 6 years later, I'm still writing away & people are still reading my words !! Over 19,000 of you have logged in, over the years & I can not quite put into words, just how happy I am.... that sooooo many of you are out there !!

As always - I thank you all, for taking a few minutes, out of your lives, to read my ramblings !! Maybe one day, as I've said before - I will write something worth reading !!

Oh - going back to yesterday.... and 'While I Cry' !! I put the lyrics in, because I had found the song, on the Mini Egg, when I was in hospital. It's from one of the Monkees' later albums & it has always been one of my favourite tracks, by Mike Nesmith. He really is/was a greatly under valued song writer !!

Ok - I better be on my ways..... I've nothing much else to do, tonight.... just a few odd jobs & stuff. But - they have to be done & I have to do them !! Sooooo - I thank you again & I will return, maybe tomorrow, but if not.... sometime soon..... until next time...

Bye Bye
