A pointless mess...

Playlist
Philip Glass - Koyaanisquatsi
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Anthology 1977-2007
Bryan Ferry - Dylanesque

To Loanhead tonight to bid farewell to sister Pam after her trip to our mum's and their joint holiday to Menorca...

To celebrate, a meal at my old drinking haunt of the late 1970's, The Laird & Dog Hotel at Lasswade...

Here is a blurry picture - just as I remember it in the 70's - blurred...

As ever, Pam regaled us with story after story...

For example, how, at 4am on the morning of their flight, she somehow managed to lock a bleeping alarm inside her suitcase, along with the keys to the padlocks which were securing the case...

...and how she managed once to fill not one but two entire sickbags on a flight from Edinburgh to London...with sick...

...and another bodily expulsion story which I regret I cannot relate here for fear of possible repercussions from the extreme bad taste police...

The food was good and, luckily, consumed prior to the telling of the latter two stories above...

We were home around 10:30 and watched "Imagine" on BBC1 which, this week, was Alan Yentob's take on Surrealism...

Unfortunately, the film tried its damndest to be 'surreal on surrealism' and, consequently, was all a bit of a pointless mess...

Then to bed...

Highlight of the Day : A night out with the family

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

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!
