One man band...

Up at 8 today and left Anne to sleep till 11....

Surfed the net and set up a page on Myspace but won't activate it till it's ready - so that'll probably be summer of 2006!

Meanwhile Anne was watching all of the Strictly Come Dancing Final which she'd taped last night. Once the telly was free'd up, I watched Paul McCartney's Unplugged Tutorial "Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road" which was a fascinating insight into how he worked with The Beatles and works on his solo material...

This included a performance on voice and mellotron which demonstrated that this oft used prog rock behemoth of an instrument was actually designed to be used as a cheaper option than a band in working mens' clubs in the mid 1960s...

Norman Lamont talks about the same programme here, with a little more insight than me it has to be said...

A couple of hours on the computer followed during which I made a first draft compilation of a Best of 2005 CD for Anne as an extra Christmas Present...

Then round to Anne' mum's for fortnightly family tea..

Back home, snooker drew us in, followed by Match of the Day...
