High the memory...

Playlist

Starz – Attention Shoppers

The Beatles – Solo Singles 1969-75

Just could not sleep due to pain in my arm – I thought it might be 5am or something but no, it was 2am...

Got up and went downstairs accompanied by Meg the Black Cat – we read every single page of teletext there is while listening to the jukebox on shuffleplay...

Finally felt tired and so back to bed at 4:30am...

Snoozed till 9:40 then breakfast accompanied by Lucy Kaplansky’s latest album. There’s one song on there that really got to me – “Today’s the Day”. Ms Kaplansky wrote it about her recently departed father and it made me think of my own dad and how much I miss him...

“there was music from your hands and music filling up your room
And there were numbers filling yellow pads always close to you”...

Anyhoo, wipe a tear and on with the day...

Lynn and Ross came round as Ross had volunteered to plane our bathroom door so it would fit back on over the new tiles – and plane and fit it he did...



What a guy!

In the early evening to Anne’s mum’s and I have drawn brother-in-law Bobby in the Christmas Dip – I can put this here as no-one on Anne’s side of the family reads this – apparently he has expressed an interest in Balsamic Vinegar...

Okay dokey...

Presents are a token £10 each and then we all go out for a big meal in January...

Back home and some pointless surfing, a little bit of “Match of the Day 2” and “The Armstrong and Miller Show”...

Finally, compiled a new playlist for the jukebox of 100 “recent” albums...

Then to bed, tired...

Highlight of the Day : Remembering my dad...
