To the Infirmary today for the results of the MRI scan which so un-nerved me four weeks ago today (can’t believe how fast time’s going these days)...

Bad news...

After having had 2008 free of surgery following ops in 2006 and 2007, I now require a third shoulder op and am back on the old waiting list...

The likely date will be late May/early June I think...

Can’t say I’m looking forward to it, even though I know exactly what to expect re the op, the pain, the post op physio, the long recovery period etc etc...

It’ll be worth it though if I finally get my right shoulder to be as pain free as my left one....

Tesco on the way home for some tomato and red pepper soup and tiger bread as lunch, then some more jazzing before Anne went off to keep fit, leaving me to enjoy some music acquired so far this year, whilst writing up this and the previous two days...

Later, some tasty salmon fillets with new potatoes and green beans will no doubt entertain, as will “Law & Order : UK”...

It seems I’m not the only one at Crispycat Towers in need of medical attention, as Meg the Black Cat’s continuing shower tray drinking may be the sign of something not good...

And so the wee one will be visiting the vet this week...

Update:

The green beans were replaced by lovely garden peas and I forgot about the tasty carrots...

"Law & Order : UK" did indeed entertain as did the first in a new series, "Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle" which became my highlight of the day, if only for his riposte to anyone who asks "Stu, have you read the latest Harry Potter book?"...

His reply?

"It's for children, I'm a 40 year old man. Why would I read a children's book? I have read the collected romantic poetry of William Blake however, so Fuck Off!!"

Brilliant...

Highlight of the Day : Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle...

Sid Smith said...: I thought the show was wonderful. My favourite section was the part about the rappers (10.30 into the show). Sheer genius!; 2:47 pm
Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: Of course - especially the "yes I am disrespecting you - to the maximum" statement...

Just a pity there's no room any more for the equal genius of Richard Herring...; 10:34 pm

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!
