Once again up before six to work on ideas for the backing tracks – nearly there...

Nice leaves on the walk home...

In the evening, Anne was off out for a curry with workmates in Fife and I forewent the chance to attend a charity dinner with ex-Arsenal footie stars Bob Wilson and Charlie Nicholas (and an invite to the aforementioned curry)...

Instead, I stayed at home with Meg the Black Cat working on my music – both creating and rehearsing - and taking the opportunity listening to this week’s acquisitions, for the first time in many cases...

I also cooked a tasty wee chorizo, pancetta, onion, tomato and crème fraiche dish – the latter ingredient involving a visit to Tesco, which also resulted in Boston’s Greatest Hits being swapped for the dropping of three pound coins into the pockets of Mr Tesco...

More than a feeling....

Thankful it’s Friday at last...

But no rest for the wicked – I awaited a call from Annie asking me to go and pick her up and bring her home - luckily Ferret and Chris with a Ch had transport courtesy of other chums Vicky and Kerry...

Back home and what's this demonic beast...

It's Meg the Green-Eyed Black Cat of course...

Highlight of the Day : New music...

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!
