Greetings Worlds...... another Tuesday !!

Greetings Worlds - How have you been spinning today ?!

Well, here I am once more..... sat here on my own, the music turned down to deafening & the TV on mute in the corner - there was a cat here just now, but I think it's gone upstairs to bed !!  Ho-hum.......

It's another Tuesday night here in England & it's blooming cold outside !!  They forecast for it to remain cold over the next few days... so with a bit of luck, it will stay dry & bright - I don't go much on it being cold & wet !!  We'll see what happens I guess......

I've been here all day today.... B did go into town earlier, but only to the gym, sooooo I stayed here in the warm.  She has gone out to weight watchers tonight, so all being well, she will be home in an hour or two.  J & ME are upstairs as I type......... they were here with me, but after their favourite TV show (of the moment)

'Pointless' finished, I put the music on & they went up to their rooms.  J is no doubt on his computer & ME is either watching TV or doing some Uni course work.  It's kind of hard for her to concentrate with my music blasting out !!

The music of the moment is Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 'Royal Albert Hall' show from 1992.......  I recorded it from the radio broadcast, at the time & transferred it to Cd a year or two back.  I also have the official release here abouts someplace...... not really sure where tho' !!

For most of the day, I was recording some more of our friends Lp's over to Cd, for them.  It's been a bit hard work really !!  the Lp's I'm doing are from a 1960 box set & are really in a bad condition !!  I've had to clean them up & listen to all the crackles that go with a 50 year old recording !!  I've enjoyed the music tho' - a great deal of it is - well, "popular classics" would be the right name for it..... lots of stuff by different people & orchestras, all a bit of fun, tho'....... as I say, kind of hard work - especially on the ears !!  I know Cd's can be scratched, but I don't miss the clicks & pops of old vinyl !!

As it's been cold, I'll probably stay in the house (again) tomorrow...... I'm not sure if we need anything in town - but, I need to avoid getting a chill at the moment !!  I'm still not 100%, so I want to avoid adding to the problems !!  I have to go in on Friday - to see a Consultant - so, if I need anything, I can sort it out then !!

I had a phone call, today, from my friend in Bristol.  He just phoned to have a little chat & ask how things were going.  That's a true friend - one who calls, just to see how you are !!  It was great of him to call & lifted my spirits up no end !!

He did wonder how we kept going - with my health getting worse - and he was well happy that we're supported by the Church & our faith in The Lord.... he didn't take us for being Mormons - as I've said before, we're not your everyday Latter-Day Saints.  We are what we are & that's a fact...... nothing will change that !!

Just back onto music - I had a look for some Led Zeppelin, from January 31st & found concerts from 1969 & 1975.  As the '75 show is one of my favourites, I've settled for that one - so, on this day in 1975, the band were in Detroit:

CD 1

1) Rock & Roll

2) Sick Again

3) Over The Hills & Far Away

4) In My Time Of Dying

5) The Song Remains The Same

6) The Rain Song

7) Kashmir

8) No Quarter

CD 2

1) Trampled Underfoot

2) Moby Dick

3) Stairway To Heaven

4) How Many More Times

5) Whole Lotta Love

6) Black Dog

I really like this show - tho' I think I've got the tracks mixed up a bit !!  With-out playing the Cd's, I'm not going to be able to check - but, never mind !!  It's a good show tho'...... The 1969 concert is on one Cd - also as part of a two Cd set.... but, I settled for this show !!

I've had this Cd (set) for a goodly number of years now - I got it way back when !!  In the days when their were still Led Zeppelin concerts to collect !!  As my friend in Bristol said today - everything is just being re-packaged & produced !!  There are only sooooo many show out there & - sometimes - something 'new' comes to the front - but, not very often !!  As always - don't buy bootlegs !!

I hope soon to have the Allman Brothers Cd's from 'Hittin' The Note'.... I had a lovely e-mail from Lady V & I know I've not been forgotten..... just waiting on stock at the moment !!  I'll just have to work my way thru' the Beacon box set again !!  B will not be pleased !!

ME did give me a great set of 'Sennheiser' headphones for Christmas & I ought to use them a bit more.... but, I enjoy listening to stuff thru' the speakers..... so...... !!  I guess I could lose myself in the 'phones, but.. !!

I just had a nice surprise..... I went upstairs, to speak to ME & found both of them in J's room together.  He is helping her with some pictures that she can't get off a disc or something.....  it's great to know that they don't kill each other every night !!

I only went up to tell her the protesters have been moved from College Green in Bristol, where she goes to Uni..... they have been there 3 months & the council moved in this morning to clear them out - well, the few tents & stuff that was there.  Everybody should have the right to protest - but..... they have left a heck of a mess there !!  I'm not against the protesters - I'm not for them either.... I'm just a person in the middle.  each to their own !!

Right, that's about it for tonight - I think !!  I could go on & on about how good this ELP concert (the one I'm listening to) is...... but...... So for now I will away - I've no plans for tomorrow - just to stay in the warm, so I might be back 24 hours from now... give or take a minute or two !!  Until next time.....

Bye Bye

Monday, Monday - Yet Another Monday !!

Hello Everybody - How are you all doing this fine Monday lunch time ?

Yep - it's Monday, a little after 12 noon & it's really nice & warm here in the house !!  Outside - well, we've had our first proper snow of the Winter........ by which I mean, we have had about an inch of the stuff & it's not staying at all !!

Last night, we had a severe weather warning for our area....... unless something majors happen in the next few hours - well, once again, the weather man got it wrong !!  Am I surprised ?  No - it's normal for us !!  They say one thing & the Lord sends us something totally different !!  Nevermind.... my life goes on !!

Right - as I type, B is out, in town, ME is upstairs & J is behind me getting some lunch.  I was going to go with B - but, as it's not too nice outside & I'm not 100% - well, we decided I would be better off staying at home.  She'll be home sometime after 2pm (I guess) - mainly after she has done the shopping & stuff, she'll kill a bit of time in the gym..... she was going to make a separate trip, going in later... but, to save fuel & what have you, she's going to do it all this 'morning'.

As mentioned - I'm not 100%.  I started to feel low on Friday night & that was about it, for the rest of the weekend !!  I rested up on Saturday & really was completely out of it Sunday !!  So, for another week, we were not at Church !!  Tho' we had a lovely e-mail from the Bishop - telling me not to worry & he knows why we're not there... well, I would of loved to have been able to go.  As it was, B had to give me a sleeping tablet, mainly as I was up my limit on pain medication & I slept like a baby for more hours than I really should have !!  I didn't wake up until after lunch - honestly, I slept & slept !!

I had to get up early this morning tho' - it was time for a check up with my local GP.  We explained how things have been & he assures me, things will get better - I just have to hang in there a while !!  Well, it's been over 10 years now - so, I guess I've hung in there this long - I can try & flap my arms a little longer !!  He has left my pills & potions alone, for now - but, on Friday, I'm seeing another Consultant.... so, maybe she will change things around.  Time will tell.........

I also had my hair cut this morning !!  Now there is some "big news" - but.... with the new hairdresser in the village (they have been open 6 months now) - it's easier for me to get there with B's help of course !!  Anyhoooooo, I've had another hair cut........ I've had more hair cuts in the last 6 months, then I probably had in the previous 2 years !!  If nothing else - it's tidy.... that's about all really !!  I used to have really long hair - the pony tail, the lot !!  Oh well - at least I still have my hair........ onwards !!

I was reading a blog this morning - it's 10 years since the Oklahoma ice storm hit !!  I really do remember that, seeing it on the news & everything.  To read a blog, by someone who was in the middle of it - well, it sounds like it was really bad !!  I've seen trees hanging with ice - like it has been spayed on, but not as bad as they were back then.  We're lucky with our weather here - we do get some snow, but - as we're soooo close to the sea, it rarely hits too hard.... well, I don't think so, at least !!

The snow is still falling, outside - but... it has a long way to go, to even start pitching on the roads & what have you !!

The music of the moment is (again) the wonderful Allman Brothers.  I'm listening to the DVD, that came out in 2003 (I think) from their Beacon shows in New York, that year.  I can't be bothered to watch the pictures, so I'm just playing it & watching the news on the BBC........ good old Aunt Beeb !!  It's good music - it must be - one of the cats is on his back, paws up in the air, completely "zonked" !!  See, even the pets enjoy my musical taste !!

I wasn't thinking too hard about posting today - so, I had a quick glance at the Zeppelin concerts & I found one !!  From January 30th 1973.  The band were on a British tour & today (January 30th) they did a show in Preston, Lancashire.  I have a 2Cd set:

CD 1

1) Rock & Roll

2) Over The Hills & Far Away

3) Black Dog

4) Misty Mountain Hop

5) Since I've Been Loving You

6) Dancing Days

7) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

8) The Song Remains The Same

9) The Rain Song

CD 2

1) Dazed & Confused

2) Stairway To Heaven

3) Whole Lotta Love

The 2nd Cd's always seem to be shorter - track wise - but, with 'Dazed & Confused' being 20+ minutes long & 'Whole Lotta Love' being a long medley of stuff - well, time wise it all balances out.  As always, don't buy bootlegs......  More another day.....

I was just thinking about getting myself something to "eat" - by that, I mean one of my "yummy" drink things I have to live with......... so, I am now looking at a wonderful summer fruits flavoured drink & thinking maybe I should skip it - but, I need something to keep me going & I don't fancy anything else !!  So............. !!

Ok - my plans for today !!  I have to change the washing in the machine (put in a new load) & that's about it really...... I'm going to have to head back to bed, for a while or else I'm going to fall asleep where I sit & that would be bad !!  It's a comfy computer chair thingy - but, not too good to sleep on !!  Maybe I should do the whole cat thing ?  Lay on my back, put my hands & feet into the air.... I somehow don't think that would be too good either !!

So, for now, I will away... until next time, thank you for reading !!

Bye Bye

If You Didn't Laugh.........

Hello Worlds Of Internet Space.... how are you all doing this fine day ?

It looks really good outside, blue skies & a really nice view out to the sea..... it's a little cold, but !! I'm not going too far at all today - just back to my bed, when I've finished this.....

To explain.  Last night was a right disaster here in the household !!  B & ME went to a gym class - they go together from time to time - but, this time, ME put her knee 'out' - which she, again, does from time to time.  So when they got home, poor little ME could hardly walk on that leg !!  Bummer !!

The upshot of all of that is, that - this morning - she couldn't drive her car !!  So, B has driven her up to Bristol so that she can go to her Friday Uni classes ....... I've just phoned B - she is sat in ME's car, doing some cross stitching, to pass the time - a little lonely, but safe all the same !!  I'm not sure what time they will be heading back this way - but, I'm guessing it will several hours yet !!

So - that was ME....... the other person to have a bad night, was..... drum roll..... yours truly !!  For some stupid reason, I couldn't get to sleep - the pain was really dumb !!  No matter what I took to ease it, nothing seem to work !!  In the end - about 2 am - I was sooooo tired, I just fell asleep.... pain or no pain !!  So, that was our disaster night in the homestead !!  You have to laugh or else we would cry !!

ME's plans - well, apart from getting home - I'm not sure what she plans on doing... but, B will drive her home & she'll have to decide from there what she does.  My plans - well, I need a drink of water, so.. I'll watch a bit of TV & (as I feel like junk) I'll head back to bed !!  I really do need my beauty sleep today !!

The music of the moment is a few tracks by Thunder..... it's another of those tapes that I've mentioned over the last day or two.  As for Led Zeppelin - well, on January 27th 1973, they were in Scotland, playing a show in Dundee.  I have a 2 Cd set of the show & the tracks are:

CD 1

1) Over The Hills & Far Away

2) Black Dog

3) Misty Mountain Hop

4) Since I've Been Loving You

5) Dancing Days

6) Bron-Y-Stomp

7) The Song Remains The Same

8) The Rain Song

9) Dazed & Confused

CD 2

1) Whole Lotta Love

2) Heartbreaker

3) Communication Breakdown

It's a good show - tho' I don't have all of it !!  As the year (1973) went on, the set list became more or less the same for each show - but, in these early shows, that year - there was still a little bit of difference each night.  Remember - don't pay for bootlegs !!  They are 'out there' someplace or another...... just don't pay for them !!

Oh well - I'm guessing that's about it for today !!  J has just gone down the village for me... yep, he has got out of bed !!  I needed some stuff returned to the library & as it's unlikely B will be home early enough to do it, J has gone "walkabout" to help me out !!

So - with not much to write about & U2 (now) blasting their way thru' the room - I will away, until next time....

Bye Bye

Another Wet Night In England !!

Well Hello Again Worlds - How are your computers treating you this evening ?!

It's a Thursday here in England - yep, just checked & it's a Thursday !!  B & ME have just gone out to a gym class & it's really wet outside again !!  So - as I like the warmth, I'm staying here in the house tonight - mind you, I do that most evenings, sooooooo, nothing too different there folks !!

As I type, J is behind me doing the supper dishes.... so, with the ladies out, that just leaves me here - no cats, just me & the keyboard !!  I think the ladies will be home in a couple of hours - so.... it will quiet tonight.....

By quiet, I of course do not include the music !!  At the moment it's Dio's 'Donington' show from 1987 - I picked it up last year (I think ?) & it's blasting away quite nicely, thank you !!  I've said this before - but, I saw the band 3 times in total.... from their very show in 1983 onwards.  They were a bit special & that's for sure !!

Earlier today, B & I headed into town for a few minutes or so...... it took us longer to get there & back, as we only stayed a very short while.  We had to pay some bills & pick up some food - so, it really was a quick trip !!

I wasn't thinking about going - but, as it was (at the time) nice & dry, I went along for the ride....... plus to look at some Cd's in ASDA !!  There is very little I want from there - mainly as they only sell chart stuff & the (very) occasional 'Best Of' sets...... but, I always have a look, just in case I see something 'new'.  I did see another UFO set - but, I didn't buy it, as I'm pretty sure I've got most of the tracks anyways !!  Oh well.......

 Just staying a bit with music - the Led Zeppelin "Cd of the day" as one of my readers calls it, is from 1969.  On January 26th that year, the band played a famous 4+hour show in Boston.... luckily, about 90 minutes or so has come out on bootleg, the tracks I have are:

CD 1

1) The Train kept A Rolling

2) I Can't Quit You

3) Killing Floor

4) Dazed & Confused

5) You Shook Me

6) Communication Breakdown

CD 2

1) White Summer

2) Babe, I'm Going To Leave You

3) Pat's Delight

4) How Many More Times

It's a really great show & maybe, one day, the whole thing will get 'released' as it were - there is a rumour that the complete tape exists...... but, I've never seen or heard it.  Maybe one day..... as always, don't buy bootlegs !!  More another day......  Mind you, just because I've never heard it - well... there are lots of tapes out there, so... I'm bound to have missed a few over the years !!

I've just changed the music - I'm now listening to one of the tapes I (think) mentioned yesterday.  As I type, it's the wonderful Roy Harper filling the room.......  This guy's lyrics are brilliant, they really are !!  Onwards...

I had a lovely - well 2 - e-mails from Lady V today........ we have never met, but B & I enjoy hearing from her.  It's amazing to read about another set of New York shows coming soon, by the Allmans.  I'm still getting used to playing the 2011 set !!  Oh well - maybe B will let me have the 2012 shows as well !!  I doubt that very much, but it would be nice to think about them.... Hee-hee........

Onto other things - I did think I had to see my GP tomorrow, for my weekly check up.... but, it seems I'm going to see him on Monday of next week instead.  It won't make much difference, one way or another..... I go in, we talk about how I'm doing, have a laugh about it all & then I come home !!  It's all a bit of a waste of our time really - but, he has to check up on me.... so - that's the way it has to be !!

It does mean tho' - I get a bit of time to stay in bed, in the morning... "Yippee" !!  I'm usually awake early - but, it's nice not to have to rush around too much.... well, not for 10 minutes or so in a Dr's office !!  I don't mind really - but, if I have a bad night... I don't feel like rushing around that much, if you follow my meaning ?!  Maybe he'll have some more news on my next hospital visit - tho' I usually hear about it before he does........ oh well........

Right - one thing I must do, tomorrow, is have tidy around !!  My desk, here in front of me, has stacks of junk on it - mostly Cd's, but also scraps of paper, books & - for some reason - a wooden box !!  It's only about 6 inches square, but.... why it's on the table, I have no real idea !!  It seems to be full of paper & stereo wires & plugs - so, there has to be a reason for it - but, I'm at a loss what that reason is !!  I'll ask B about it, maybe she can fill in the blanks on the subject... we'll see !!

I've just let one of the cats out.... he was fine, wanting to go.... that was until the door was open & he saw the rain pouring down !!  Bless him, I guess the call of nature was stronger than his wish to stay in the warm !!

All of our (3) cats are really good - they go to the door, when they need to go outside & we very rarely have any problems with them, how shall I put it - having 'accidents' in the house.  But, when it's raining - well, like me - they want to stay in the warm & who can blame them !!

I've just had B's Dad on the phone - he's had a visit to the hospital for a check up.  He seems Ok & has asked me to get B to call him, when she gets home later.  He has been given a couple of poetry books, by a local guy - well, local to where he lives - and one of the poems is about him & my late Mother-in law, B's Mum.  I'm not sure how keen B will be to phone him tonight, but - I'll pass the message on & I'll leave to her to sort out !!

Right - I better away for this evening.......it's not toooooo late, but..... I need my beauty sleep !!  So with a happy heart & the Who blasting out of the speakers, I will be on my way - until next time....

Bye Bye

"More speed Scotty !!"

Hello & Greetings Worlds - How are you all doing tonight !?!

Well, as usual, I checked the stats - before I started writing - and I'm surprised to see soooooo many of you have logged on today !!  Unless of course, you're one same person & you're flying all around the World - just to confuse me ?!  Thank you, one & all - for taking the time to read my words.....

It's a Wednesday  night here in England.... B has just gone out a gym class & it's pouring down out there !!  I waved her off, from the front door & it's really wet & horrid - I'm just going to stay here in the house & listen to the music.... nothing different there then !!  Welcome to my life folks !!

Actually, B helped me, earlier, to find the 'music of the moment'.  I have a box thing, with the best part of a 1000 tapes in it & I was looking for 10 tapes, that I recorded almost 21 years ago.  They were quite easy to find - being as they were all in bright yellow cases.... and the reason for finding them ?  Well, that's simple really !!  When B was in hospital - having had ME - I would come home to the farm (where we were at the time) & record a tape or two to pass the night away !!  These are the tapes I'm playing - as I type, the Who's 'Baba O'Riley is blasting away thru' the house !!  As ME is 21 next month - actually a month today - I wanted to play the tapes again !!

Like all these tapes - there are various things on them.... stuff I was playing at the time & what have you.  A sort of small project of mine, to keep me 'sane' while I was on my own, all those years ago !!  Oh well... it made sense at the time & it was better than going down to the pub !!  Now,  I don't drink at all - so, that's a far better deal all around really !! 

It's mazing how much The Lord can help you, when you're low in spirit. I'm sooooo very grateful that He is our lives, thank you T for bringing his words to the both of us !! Read Proverbs 3:5-6..... my friends, if you need an up-lift at anytime....!!

Oh, the Blues Brothers are playing now.... it's a real mish mash of stuff !!  'Sweet Home Chicago' !!  Great !!

Anyhooooo - I mentioned B... she'll be home about 8.30 or so.  J has just gone upstairs, having put away the supper dishes.... that ME had washed a few minutes earlier.  She has gone upstairs as well - so, I'm here, on my own some - no family, no cats - just loud music..... it's a great way to live, it really is !!

It's been a very quiet day - for me.....  I watched a bit of TV, tried to record some more Lp's (for our friends in Church) but, I couldn't concentrate on that, so... I gave up & sat with B, watching a show (recorded last night) about first year doctors & their very first week on the wards.  To quote what one of them said "We're crap!" I would not disagree with that & now I'm wondering how they will get on next week !?!  I must remember to set the recorder to catch it again !!

As not to spoil things - as my day has been quiet, the night will stay the same way !!  I'm on a roll here, so why spoil it !!  I've to finish this & head to bed a little later on.... such a hectic evening - I better turn the music up to 12, just in case I fall asleep !!  Hee-hee.......

I was looking at the Led Zeppelin collection earlier - seeing if I had anything from today.... I have 2 !!  One from 1975 & the one I'm going to list, from 1973.  So, on January 25th (1973) the band were in Aberdeen (Scotland) & they played a long-ish set, which I have on 3 Cd's:

CD 1

1) Rock & Roll

2) Over The Hills & Far Away

3) Black Dog

4) Misty Mountain Hop

5) Since I've Been Loving You

6) Dancing Days

7) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

8) The Song Remains The Same

9) The Rain Song

CD 2

1) Dazed & Confused

2) Stairway To Heaven

CD 3

1) Whole Lotta Love

2) Heartbreaker

3) What Is & What Should Never Be

When I first picked up a copy of this - it was in a fancy case & listed as being from Rotterdam 11-3-73.  As the band were not there in March, it just took a bit of listening to - to pick up it was from the Aberdeen concert.... It's a good set tho' - with 'Dancing Days' from the (then) un-released 5th album. Oh well - as always, do not buy bootlegs, if you can get it for free, that's, sort of fine - but, don't pay for it !!  There are some good official Cd's out there that are well worth your money !!  More another night !!

I see my reader from Germany logged in again today.... a big "Hello" to you.  I hope you're well & happy !!

Hopefully the weather will brighten up a bit tomorrow.... we're meant to be going into town at some point.  The usual stuff, pay some bills, by some food & so on & so on !!  If it's too wet, I'll go with B & sit in the car, except for the supermarket shopping.... that's going to be in the dry, so it ain't tooooooo bad.  Going around town tho' - in the rain - is not a lot of fun !!  I do "zoom" about in my old wheelchair - but, getting wet is not a great way to spend the day !!  We'll have to wait & see how things go.... B has a meeting in the morning, in the village, but that won't take very long..... we'll see how it goes.

B is probably going to phone the hospital, for me, in a day or two.....  I'm waiting to go back & see the Consultant again - the one behind the 'faulty' implant..... well, that's not true.  The implant isn't faulty, it's just not working as the wires are in the wrong place !!  As yet, I've not had a date to see him again, so B will chase it up for me.

I'm not looking forward to have a 'corrective' surgery on that !!  Like my GP has said - it means "digging" thru' my back - to remove the 'old' wires & then placing the new ones in the right place...... great stuff !!  He hasn't spared anything - going into detail, about how it'll be harder this time - as everything will of 'healed' in place - great, just what I need.... another surgery & more stitches.  If you've read my pages before - you will know how much I 'love' having stitches !!

Hey, here's a thought - maybe they could give me a new scar & then I could play "join the dots" with a pen !! I guess that would be fun - better than those blooming stitches ahhhhchhhhaccchh !!!!  Oh well - time will tell.

Maybe I could refuse the surgery & let them worry about the fact they spent £10,000 on me & it doesn't work.... after all, it's not my fault !!  I did my bit - went in, let them knock me out etc etc...... why should I worry about it ?!  Well - I would like it to work - I've been very, ("sob-sob") very low about the whole thing !!  Luckily for me, B has looked well after me.... so, for that I'm happy !!

Right - I better think about being on my way, for tonight...... there is a slow Scorpions' track on the tape, as I type, & I think it's sending me to sleep - it's very, very slow !!  "More speed Scotty"..... until next time, thank you all for reading !!

Bye Bye

Pointless.... Ho-hum !!

Greetings again Worlds - I'm back again !!

Well, I'm still having a 'quiet' day - tho', for the next 45 minutes the music will be turned off.... mainly as the 'kids' are watching one of their favourite TV quiz shows.  It's called 'Pointless' & it's all a bit of fun - well, we think so....

It's still a cold & wet day here in England.... B has gone out to her weight-watchers meeting, so that leaves me here with the younger members of the household - it's a good life - well, it's what I've got.... so !!  Onwards.....

It's been a good day for music.... I've been playing stuff all afternoon & most of the morning as well, come to think about it !!  The highlights have been Seasick Steve & Velvet Revolver...... B actually brought home the 'Libertad' Cd - by the latter, so I've given that a good play thru' !!  I'm glad the neighbours (well, the nice ones, that is) are deaf........ that sounds bad !!  I mean they are hard of hearing, which kind of helps - especially when the music is up loud !!

Anyhoooo - deaf neighbours or not.... once the TV is switched off, the music will be an Allman Brothers concert from Jones Beach, NY in August 2004 - one of my favourites !!  Especially disc 3, mainly as it only has 3 tracks on it.... 3 great tracks !!  I really love these Allman Brothers shows - you can buy them from their 'Hittin' The Note' web site & they are well worth it !!  That's a "free" plug there for Lady V........ hee-hee !!

My thanks to those of you - from the USA, thru' Germany to India - who have logged in today.... I've not posted anything for 4 days.... so, I thank you for your time.  As I've said before - keep reading, I might write something interesting one day !!

Last night - feeling a little bit under the weather (well poorly) I went to bed early & watched a strange film... well, I thought so, at least.... it's called 'Cowboys & Aliens' & if you want a bit of fun.... it's worth a watch.  I'm not sure if it was meant to serious or not.... but, I thought it was great fun !!  If you have an odd (very odd) two hours to kill - check it out on DVD - there aren't too many 'extras'.... but, it lifted my spirits quite a bit.  I did fall asleep before the end - but, what I saw was good fun.......

Well - the TV has been turned down & the music has been turned way, way up...... so, as I type 'Mountain Jam' is blasting thru' the Bose & I'm a happy puppy !!  If you ever want to upset B - start the vocals (by Donovan) of "..first there is a mountain..." - I can testify, B will shout at you to stop singing !!  Once she has the song/tune in her head - it sticks there, bless her !!

I've not checked out the tracks on the new Allman Brothers Cd's - that B has ordered for me - so, maybe it'll be on those as well !!  I'll let you know just how good there are, when I get them...... hopefully not toooooo far into the future !!  Once they get here, I'll try & order up some more - but, not for a day or two I guess.... only when B feels sorry for me & thinks I could use cheering up a bit !!

My plans for tonight - well..... I'm still fee;ling a little 'low' & I'm guessing I'll be hitting bed early again tonight. I will have to see how things go..... maybe I'll watch the rest of the film - the bit I missed last night, when I nodded off !!  I'm not sure what else to do - just sit back & take it easy for a few hours or so..... until B gets home, at least !!

As for tomorrow - it's going to be a stay at home day..... well, that's my plan at least.  I think B will have a gym class tomorrow night -  but, I'll just stay here for the day.  It'll give me chance to read the rest of 'Skydog'.... which I have yet to complete.  It's been a good read & even tho' I'm an Allman Brothers fan, I've found out a lot of things I didn't know before - which is good.... I guess !!  It's always good to find out something 'new' !!

For those of you, who like my Led Zeppelin collection - I don't have one for today.  That is to say, I have nothing from this date - at all, no mater what year - so, I'm going to miss that for tonight.  Never mind - there will be other dates to list, as we get into the summer tours of America & what have you.  That's for another night tho'.........

For tonight tho' - I best away & sort out a few things... ME's boyfriend is on his way over & there is some live football on the box..... so, I'm guessing he would like to watch that - not toooooo easy with me blasting the music thru' the house !!  So, until next time....

Bye Bye

Hi-de-hi !!

"Hi-de-hi !!"  How are your Worlds spinning today ?!

I'm having a quiet - music turned down to deafening - sort of day......  It's wet & cold outside, soooooo I'm staying here in the warm !!  It's really not nice outside - tho', I can see the beach out in the distance, so it can't be that bad !!

Ok - as I type, the music of the moment is the 'solo' Cd that Slash brought out in 2010.  After getting his 2 Cd set 'Made In Stoke' I decided I would like to hear more of his studio stuff & this is the first one..... it will be followed by Velvet Revolver's 'Contraband' Cd....... apart from some Guns & Roses stuff, that's all I have by the man.......  Oh well - so far so good......

As for my family - B is out at a gym class & the two 'kids'... J & ME... are upstairs someplace.  I've seen both of them this morning - mainly as they came down for food & stuff......

Actually - ME has just come & asked to use the printer... so, for now I'll away - I'll be back later tonight !!

Bye Bye
