Up at 4:15, clocks went back...

Meg the Black Cat found some new places to explore in the re-arranged computer room...

Working on a possible acoustic collection comprising recordings made over the summer and recordings made in preparation for the recently cancelled performance...

Breakfast with Annie around 9:30 then to work with further tidying of the small room...

Meg the Black Cat was, once again, in her element re new places to visit...

A light lunch was accompanied by recently Tivo'd "Frozen Planet", "Fresh Meat" and "Have I Got News For You"...

Then to the hospital, where Pam was still not talking...

She does a lot of sleeping...

..and smiling...

We are to meet with her doctors on Tuesday to discuss matters...

I'm not going to second guess the experts...

To Anne's mum's for the family tea...

Hard to believe that, just two weeks ago, Pam was here with us enjoying Anne's mum's home made steak pie...

Today it was a full house once again with the kids in top form...

I set up the DVD player we bought for Anne's mum last Saturday and she was delighted with the laid back sounds of Matt Munro...

Kitty enjoyed getting me to pretend to sleep while she photographed me...

...and had me reciprocate...

..while Olly and I enjoyed exploiting the magnetic nature of the new condiment dispensers...

Back home and a visit to next door neighbour Fiona's place for a chat about Pam and about Fiona's own recent troubles, including eye operations to try and restore her sight...

To the PC on our return with Annie catching up on "Strictly" etc...

Created a new soundscape piece based on Wagner's "Lohengrin" prelude, stumbled across on Monday...

A mixed weekend...

Highlight of the Day : Family tea keeping my mind off matters...

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!
