We have some lovely flowers in the dining room at present...



Soundtracked by Weather Report and EST today...

To FOPP at lunchtime and two purchases made...

Firstly, a 2CD set “Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration”...



Standout tracks are The Mar Keys' "Last Night" which is the theme from Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson’s brilliant comedy show “Bottom” - it even has a little of BennyHill's sax motif in there...


The second is a hit single I had back in the day on a K-Tel Various Artists compilation – until today, I probably hadn’t heard this for around 35 years - Frederick Knight's "I’ve Been Lonely For So Long"...

The second acquisition was a 4CD set of 100 reggae hits – does what it says on the tin really...



Again, a couple of stand outs are The Ethiopians' "Train to Skaville" and one of my all time favourite reggae tunes, Dave & Ansel Collins' "Monkey Spanner"...

On the way home, passed this tree...



Enjoyed the new albums tonight post a tasty red thai chicken curry...

Watched “Have I Got News For You” and “Armstrong & Miller” then designed this possible poster...



Hmm, pointy nose, oh pointy pointy...

Up till 1 am posting this...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Anne’s thai curry...
