Up at 4:44 feeling gruesome...

Eventually, the Trumpets of Satan having been silenced, back to bed and, consequently, slept in till 9:45...

"Something for the Weekend" was followed by "The Dark Knight" on DVD...

We both agreed that, while this was very entertaining, we enjoyed "Batman Begins" more...

I can't see why everyone raves about "The Dark Knight" - it's good, but not that good...

Mid afternoon on this lazy day, Meg the Black cat lounged on the settee...

...while I surfed, uploaded several new podcasts to be published next week and then sang through a ten song set - my first playing of the guitar this year...

Not bad...

Then, to Tesco's for the ingredients of tonight's culinary efforts from your correspondent...

Leek and Pancetta Risotto - very hard to get a risotto right texture-wise apparently...

Also doesn't help when you forget to buy the leeks...

Onions were quickly substituted...

...and, after around 50 minutes, the dish was ready...

Anne was amazed and I triumphed again - "texture just right" was the opinion of the second helping scoffing Exec Producer...

Eschewing "Celebrity Dancing on Ice", I retired post dinner to continue the list work and to write this up for the last two days...

Highlight of the Day : Cooking...

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!
