Monday ramble
And a lovely weekend was had by all. I was celebrating a birthday so the weekend included a special dinner and time with the Godboys and friends. Luckily the vertigo faded out throughout Saturday and the world righted itself.
The Friday boat schedule was a bit disrupted because, I assume, of the bad weather earlier in the week, and the Blue Star didn’t come in until about five hours after its usual time, making it very late/early Friday/Saturday coming back from Rhodes. The weather stayed sunny but cold as a chill wind blew in and the Dodecanese boat came and went according to its schedule, so it can’t have been that windy.
As for me, I stayed in on Saturday and read a new book Neil had given me about a conspiracy theory to do with 9/11 – interesting and rather scientific, well researched but doesn’t actually explain why the US Government would want to blow up the buildings and stage the event, it leaves us to make up our own mind about that. In fact, the book doesn’t ask the question, Why? It’s about ‘How.’ So, that was an interesting read and while I was reading it I was able to listen to music from my tablet sent through the airwaves to my new CD machine via Bluetooth and not even have to get up to change the CDs, as the music was coming from Spotify online.
Which suddenly made me think of LPs (remember them?) and how you had to change the record over, half way through. This probably won’t make any sense to my younger readers, but I still feel myself about to stand up and cross the room to turn the record over after certain songs from albums which I now have on CD. Unfortunately, I left all my LPs back in Brighton, thinking I would collect them from the old house one day, and never did and our friends, to whom we sold the property, later sold it on, and oops, there goes my collection. There was nothing valuable in it though, apart from a rare copy of Victor Victoria on vinyl; apparently only so many were made and then they were withdrawn. I bought mine from Dress Circle in London for a small fortune in those days. But hey ho! There, it’s gone and I have no idea why I am rambling on about this now or here.
So, back to the week ahead. I hope you put your clocks forward on Saturday night/Sunday morning – put them forward to the front of the shelf I mean, so you can see them better. I forgot all about that and had that thing on Sunday morning where I wasn’t sure if the computer was making things up, or if the kitchen clock had stopped. Ah well, off into Monday we go.
