Up early again, now subject to annoying coughing leading to annoying headache...

Spent some time in the new look back room with BST and Mr Zappa before inevitably heading to the PC...

Out for breakfast to a new place, The Suburban Pantry...

...where Anne enjoyed poached eggs on toast and I treated myself to scrambled egg with smoked salmon on a toasted croissant...

Back home throught the rain via a distracting visit to PC World to pick up some new ink for the printer...

Even though I use the most economical printer, inkwise (a Kodak), I could probably still have actually bought a new printer for less than I paid for the ink...

Ink is just too dear...

Back home, on the advice of IT Guru martin, I did away with soon to expensively renewed BitDefender (or some such - sorry it's gone now) protection and installed AVG Anti-Virus Free Version and MalewareBytes Anti Malware...

Very nice...

Then, some further tidying of the back room and music listening including the LP of Eno's "Music for Films II" - discovered I "need" the CD re tracks I don't have other than on vinyl...

To Anne's mum's for Kitty's birthday tea...

She will be 7 on Wednesday..

Here she is at 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6...

She had ordered Steak & Kidney Pie...

...and M&S Chocolate Cake (I must say I prefer Anne's mum's own home made sponge)...

A call to sister Pam - we've arranged that she text me when she's awake and up for a call...

She sounded bright and cheerful but was obviously apprehensive re the full body scan to take place tomorrow to determine the source of the secondary infection - which she advised was improving...

Home from Anne's mum's and decided to compile a CD to replicate this double LP by Francoise Hardy...

"Match of the Day 2" rounded off the weekend while I rediscovered the King Crimson ProjeKcts from the late 1990's - cracking stuff...

Highlight of the Day : Kitty's birthday tea..

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!
