When I finished, it was a quick rush to get back in time for the start of the Pure Grooves show. This was the first week when it's gone out at its new time of midnight - 2am on a Friday morning.
I have to say it was nice to be able to hear the show. I record my Solar shows, due to the time they tend to go out. Sometimes, I'm out working and it's not possible to be there when the show is due to got out, so by recording them, it means that there's never a problem.
However, as I was back home in time, I tuned in to have a listen to it, and at the same time I informed people on facebook that I was in my chatroom on my website, and some of the listeners came into the chatroom. It's always nice when people are there with you as you can shoot the breeze with them and it's usually a laugh.
Some of you will know I'm a nostalgic sort of guy, and last week, I was in one of the facebook groups I'm a member of, and someone had posted a photo of a toy I had as a child. Not just any old toy, but my favourite toy of all time! So what was this toy? It was a Johnny Seven OMA (One Man Army) gun - 7 guns in 1. Myself and my cousin had one each, and even though 35 years have gone by, we still seem to remember this toy and the games we played with it with great affection.
Anyway, I posted the photo of this toy on my cousin's page and within minutes we were on the phone talking about it.
So yesterday I'm at home and guess what arrived? A mug with the Johnny Seven gun picture on it. My cousin only bought it for me. Now I know this sounds like nothing really, but I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat all afternoon. Here's the proof:
See what I mean? Sad I know, but it proves that old saying, "Little things......"
I have to say, I don't think in this age of Wii, DS and suchlike, kids don't have it as good as we did when with a toy and some imagination, we could be transported to this other dimension.
That's about it for now, next time I'll post the link to the Pure Grooves show. See ya soon...
