A hard life.. Ho-hum !!

greetings Worlds !!

It's a very bright Monday, here in England.... a little on the cold side, but very sunny !! I went with B, into town earlier & it was pretty good - not too hot, not too cold..... if only the people could of disappeared, I would of been well happy !! Nevermind - I can't have everything !!

Talking of B - she is upstairs... doing some "housework"..... I'm not 100% sure what that means, but - judging by the banging around - I would imagine it means taking a few walls down & throwing the bricks out of the windows !! I'll stay down here, I think it might be the safest place to be !!

As for the rest of the family.... J is here about, someplace & ME is working. She has had a few days off, since her trip to the hospital, last week..... and, I hope, she will have  a few more days off, after she finishes tonight. I'm not really sure about exactly how many days she's got - but, I think she could do with a bit of a break !!

It did not help, that I woke her this morning, as I went ass over tit, at the bottom of the stairs !! To explain....

We have 3  cats and, between them, they have this "lovely" habit of wanting to go, either in, or out, depending on how they feel, all thru' the night. This is not usually a problem.... as I am more than likely the one who is awake & therefore, the one who does all the honours, opening doors & stuff, to suit their various needs !!

Now then, the problem - last night - was quite simple..... I've not had a decent sleep, since about last Thursday night & my body, as is it's want, is gradually falling apart on me. So - when I let one of the "lovely" cats out, early this morning - I, somehow, missed the stair & landed up, face down.... with a very loud thud !!

My Daughter - who's bedroom, is more or less directly above where I fell - then got out of bed & went to B up, from her very comfy slumbers. She then went back to bed, while B helped me get up and back to bed..... the result being, I now have a lovely bruise appearing on various parts of my body & - if any of the cats want to go out, or come in, this evening - they can use the bloody window !!

The best part, about the whole thing... is B saying "You should wake me up, when the cats...." !! Honestly, can you picture how popular I would be, being wide awake at night - then waking My Wife & Dearest Friend... from what is usually a very deep sleep, just to let her know the cats want help !!

One night - just for the heck of it - I'm going to wake her up, every time the "lovely" things need help..... that will be fun.. I don't think !!

Oh well.....

The music of the moment is the soundtrack Cd's, to 'The Hobbit' film - which I picked up last week, at some point... I can't remember exactly when !! It's quite good - tho'... well, it's a bit "heavy" in places. I like my s/t's to bop along a bit - this one doesn't... oh well, I'll get used to it !!

I really like the film tho'..... I've probably watched it 10 or more times now !! Every time I see it, I spot something new - something I've missed the last few times I've watched it !! Hopefully, the next 2 (Hobbit) films will be as good....... and then, of course, I have the extended versions to try & stay alive, long enough, to watch... in a few years time !!

Oops, almost forgot - it's 4 weeks to the day, that I go into hospital, for my next surgery !! Plus - that means, it's 4 weeks to the day, when ME gets her next holiday !! Two things to look forward to...... "such is life".....

I'm going back to see the Consultant, on May 10th - for a final (I hope) talk thru'... going over (and over) again, every little thing we've talked about 100 times already !! honestly - if the guy backs out of this - I will take a scalpel to myself & do the blooming surgery on my own !! How many more times, do I have to go over & over it all with him.... !! Lets just get the job down & hope for the best !! Onwards, ever onwards...

Ok - my plans for today... well - I am tempted to go to bed & try to get some sleep.... but, that would be a very bad move, as it will only mean I don't sleep (again) tonight !! So, as sleeping the afternoon away, is not an option - I guess I'll just sit here & play some music, or watch some TV... either or sounds like a plan to me !!

I'm not doing any more painting - in the kitchen - for a day or 2... as I've done all of the walls now & just need to do the woodwork. that isn't going to take very long, but my body needs a bit of a rest, so I'm taking a couple of days off.... just to have a break really. I'll get back to it, before the weekend - but, not today !!

Anyhoo... that's been about it for today...... it's a hard life, it really
is !! As always, I thank you for logging in & reading my words....until next time..

Bye Bye
