Well now, a good day today, after a not great weekend...

Another lovely moon this morning...

Followed by lovely Autumn colours...

I was soundtracked by the albums from 1959 through to 1961 off of my new list of top two LPs of the year from 1959 to 2010...

Meg made it through the whole day without any further attacks...

In the evening, post the gym, working on an initial mix of a Creek track – I threw it together without actually listening to the track as a whole – more a question of treating Stuart’s input from yesterday...

I wasn’t particularly confident when mailing the MP3 to the guys but the feedback was extremely positive and, when I listened back to the track for the first time last thing, I too was impressed...

The beauty of chance...

Elsewhere this evening, “Spooks” produced another cracker...

So, yes, a good day today...

Highlight of the Day : Meg making it through untouched...

Post Script : Another seizure Tuesday morning just after I wrote this...poor wee beastie...

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!
