A rainy morning...

A day of learning and hospitality...

Up early and out for a breakfast meeting with a trio of major fund managers...

Interesting stuff...

At lunch time to FOPP where I discovered a whole lorry load of new goodies weighing down the shelves and partook of the following:-

Neal Morse – Cover to Cover; Uriah Heep – Transmissions (turns out to be Live at Shepperton which I already have); Spirit – Time Circle (2CD Anthology); Love – Da Capo; Burning Spear – Marcus Garvey & Garvey’s Ghost (2 albums on 1 CD); Jimmy Cliff – The Harder They Come OST; Planet X w/ Allan Holdsworth – Quantum; Black Sabbath – The Dio years (Tour Edition 2 CD Set); Black Sabbath – Reunion (2CD); Dio – Inferno: The Last in Live (2CD)...

In the evening, more hospitality as dinner was served by a large UK company in a swanky upmarket hotel....

...while a young lady fund manager of commercial property put the case for said sector...

Your correspondent had a good time, though perhaps a glass or two too many of vino rosso...

Home on the bus and soon to sleep on the settee...

Highlight of the Day : CD Frenzy at FOPP...

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!
