Cloudland Blue Quartet – New Recordings
7:30 – 9:30 – Organising a methodology for recording the new CBQ song album and make a start on the first piece. Recording in alphabetical order, so first song is “Another Piece of Cake” – not my favourite...

10:30 – 12:30 – Back to the studio and finish off rough mix of “Another Piece of Cake” – now my favourite...
12:30 – 1:30 – Snack lunch – Anne has prepared some of her famous pakoras, with a couple extra for us. It’s niece Kitty’s birthday party this afternoon. Exec Producer gives thumbs up to new recording – it wasn’t her fave song either before this rework – then an episode of “Ugly Betty” on tape...
1:30 – 3:00 – Work on second song “Blue Eyes Across The Room” – was one of my faves before – and remains so. Once again, thumbs up from EP....
3:00 – 8:00 – To sister-in-law Jane and Bobby’s for Kitty’s party – much drinking and carousing in the name of the wee three-year-old – here she is with her brother Ollie – this may have been the only time she sat still all day...
....sustained by two lovely curries from Jane preceded by Anne’s pakoras...
8:00 – 9.00 – Back to the studio and working on third song – “Chocolate On Your Bread”....
9:00 – 9:30 – Today’s episode of “Coronation St” on tape. A call from James Jamieson postpones our live rehearsal from Monday to Wednesday due to children commitments...
9:30 – 10:30 – Finish off first draft of third song and transfer all three to Jukebox for repeated listening – I am on a roll and will continue....
10:30 – 11:30 – “Match of the Day 2” then bed – tired, but with three new recordings in the headphones...
Highlight of the Day : New album underway at last.../Kitty’s birthday party...
