Its been a difficult week. On Tuesday I fell out of bed again and banged my head badly on the wooden floor. I was playing ice hockey at the time which is rediculous as I have no interest in ice hockey and cannot even ice skate. I have had 2 subsequent falls, on Wednesday and last night while getting up from seats. Possibly have a touch of concussion. There was no drain cleaner involved in either episode.
Friday...I desperately need to brushcut the embankments but perhaps its not wise in my current state. I think I will just do a spot of weeding and seeding in the garden and see how it goes. My beard is getting huge. I haven't trimmed it for about 6 weeks and I'm resembling Uncle Albert again, minus the cap set at a jaunty angle. It needs to come off as its going to be hot at the weekend. And I feel riffy and itchy.
Beef casserole for tea.
Saturday...Early morning run to the tip. Chop and split firewood. Careful with that Axe Eugene, one for the Pink Floyd fans there. Prepare tea then settle down and watch the Red Roses. Dare I keep an eye on the football scores on line?
Volcanic Chicken Curry for tea.
Sunday...More weeding and seeding. Chrissie is house hunting every day but a concerted effort is needed.
I received our Tax Forms this week. God, I dread this time of year as we still hold investments and accounts in the UK and its a nightmare of bureaucracy. Start sorting that lot out and book meetings on-line with the Tax Department in Millau and our advisor at the bank, Pierre who says he will give our returns the once over. Regine my accountant used to do all this for me.
I will do something simple for tea. Probably Risotto but could be a fish Salad. I like salad.
Its 3.30 in the morning, I have read the papers backwards earlier. I think I will watch a film.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Gosh Anglais the fall sounds awful. Take care of yourself. Especially with that axe!

Usually due to me not lifting my right foot up when walking and I stumble on the smallest pebble I have just ordered a walking stick, not that I really need one, but we are planning to do much walking and the added security of a stick may be welcome. I saw Pink Floyd at brum Town Hall and Mothers back in the day...and at both gigs they did the axe number...screamy.

I never managed to see Pink Floyd but I did work the Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking Tour that Roger Waters did at the NEC. Genuine quadrophonic setup - the soundcheck was astounding. You'd swear there was a flock of birds wheeling around the hall. That was before we all realised (ok, before I realised) what a total @rße Waters is.
Any road up: Friday - haircut, cleaning, tea at Jean's, looking after Jayne who is not only under the weather (as am I) but has got a horrendous day at work. Saturday - Good Intent, Bad Result, home Sunday - walk. Not too strenuous as we're not a bit feeble.

I missed Floyd at Mothers as I would only have been 14 or 15. I do have Ummagumma on Vinyl and CD which includes the live recording from Mothers.

Fully directional quadrophonic sound controlled by a joystick. To hear One Of These Days I'm Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces is amazing live in Quad. I think you are being kind to Roger Waters. He really is the most obnoxious self opinionated git imaginable. I gather that Guy Pratt who plays Bass with Floyd now is Rick Wrights son-in-law.

I love the ummagumma album sleeve with the bands gear laid out on an airfield runway...need a few roadies for that lot. I can remember the smell of Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast cooking away on the town hall stage. Bacon and rice crispies if my nose was working.

Mothers had an English Heritage type blue disc put up a couple of years ago. I say ‘type’ as it’s now faded and there’s just a white disc on the wall. Typical cheap Erdington

Dark Side of the Moon and Echoes. Wonderful.
