Various – Natural Progression (20xCD-R)
A slightly better night - up around seven...
With Anne still asleep, I made the rather rash decision to venture forth and drove to Patisserie Florentin to pick up a couple of croissants for breakfast...
Then to the post office to pick up the package which was undelivered yesterday – CD covers...
Back home for breakfast and feeling worse than I’d imagined I would...
Put together detailed directions for sister Sheila re visiting Pam in hospital next week and dealt with the cancellation of Pam and my mum’s holiday in the summer...
Then, a quick nip to Carphone Warehouse to purchase mobile broadband for Pam to allow her to surf the net whilst in hospital...
Several good telecons with Pam today, she is on the mend re her infections and, at last, the treatment for her tumour is almost back on the agenda...
Spent the afternoon listening to Prog Rock and compiling the 20th CD for the stupid waste of time box set - while Anne relayed footie news – Hearts winning 2-0 away at Hamilton, Queens 3-1 down at home to Partick Thistle with seven minutes to go – final result, 3-3...
In the evening, with the not stupid waste of time but, rather, progtastic box set finalised...
...a tasty Indian buoyed, as we watched the rather pointless “Rocky Horror” episode of “Glee”...
Only a few weeks into the second series and it’s run out of steam completely...
During “Casualty” (hey, rock’n’roll!) I noticed my nose has stopped running..
However, my very chesty and back pain inducing cough is proving difficult to shake off...
A half-hearted “Match of the Day” and off to bed...
Highlight of the Day : No runny nose...

That's discs 1-19 then disc 20 is prog from the last couple of years with dream Theater, Beardfish, Guilt Machine, Porcupine Tree, Transatlantic, Field Music, The Pineapple Thief and Everything Everything...
I think you should still get this released. Clearances might be a bit problematic though!
Publish a track listing if you dare! It would be interesting and show the box in all its glory when its finished.
OK will do - of course I've also appropriated a Roger Dean illustration for the cover "Spring" from 2004 apparently...
Yours, in a magpie stylee...
Hi Barrie - I've popped you a mail with the tracklist and cover artwork...
Cheers David, much appreciated.
