Should really have practised today but, somehow, just never got round to it...

Instead, Anne and I cooked a lamb and tomato curry and, for the second time in a row, it ended up looking, smelling and tasting like a real curry - amazing...

A new Thelonius Monk album arrived from e-bay and we listened to this as we cooked...

While the meal simmered to fruition, I burned a few copies of the CBQ CD for tomorrow night and printed and prepared the covers...

I continued to put off and off any thought of a set run-through as I watched "Coronation St", the Scottish Cup game Motherwell v St Johnstone (a deserved win for the underdog Saints), "Grand Designs" about a couple spending over £1M restoring a castle and the latest episode of "Desperate Housewives", five minute ad breaks and all...

Ended the day with some more Monk on the phones, "Mysterioso" the album I bought last May in Amsterdam...

Highlight of the Day : Cooking with Anne

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
