Not going out...

Playlist

Roxy Music - Country Life

Roxy Music - Siren
Bryan Ferry - Let's Stick Together
Bryan Ferry - These Foolish Things

Broken Records - Let Me Come Home

Sumner McKane - Hunting for Salamanders (CD-R)

Called the hospital this morning and spoke with Pam following her second brain operation, which took place late yesterday afternoon...

What a difference already - she was sounding back to her normal bubbly self...

Her speech was pretty much back to normal and she advised she is feeling much improved...

She was able to walk from her bed to the phone...

No word yet on a discharge time/date and, of course, they have to check for infection - if there is one, her treatment will be delayed...

Pam knows she must take this in her stride though - as she has to be at the top of her game for the treatment and there's nothing we can do about any infection related delay...

So, if there is one, we must all stay positive - it'll give her more time to recuperate and get back to "normal" before it starts...

Suffice to say it was great to hear her laughing and joking again after the dreadful time she's had since Anne and I came back to Scotland...

Home through the dark again...

A kind of celebrationary indian takeaway was orderd and collected from a new place, Bangla Kitchen...

While tasty, it was judged not to be quite as good as our trusty favourite, Bombay Feast...

Another CD arrrived today from Macclesfield Craig, who, yesterday, celebrated the third birthday of son Olli...

Broken Records' album "Let Me Come Home" was said disc...

I spent all night trying to think who the singer reminded me of and then I realised it sounds like the man from the Killers...

...and I like them.

Excellent anthemic stuff from the Broken Records I must say - and I vowed to send Craig a couple of discs back - burning them later tonight...

Ended the day with the return of Thursday staple "This Week", having earlier enjoyed "Big Bang Theory" and, for me, the best UK sitcom on telly at the moment, "Not Going Out"...

Highlight of the Day : Getting to speak again with sister Pam...

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!
