Out into the morning listening to old me, firstly from 2007 and then from 2005...

I remember recording these albums and a lot of work went into them but I don't recall the detail...

Just as well I'll probably never be called upon to write liner notes for a commemorative box set...

We are nearing the shortest day...

Later...

Christmas is still coming...

Picked up the new machine from Richer Sounds and, with Anne out, spent the evening experimenting...

Much to Meg the Black Cat's delight...

Other arrivals in the post were the lead ordered to input sound to the laptop from phono sockets to USB - doesn't work funnily enough...

And a book by Rheostatics' Dave Bidini - "Around the World in 57 1/2 Gigs" - which I'm sure I'll read as quickly as the recent Nick Mason Pink Floyd tome...

Taxi service provided later on for Anne, Lynn and Penny...

While Anne watched the final of Masterchef to beyond midnight - I was listening to Lady Gaga's excellent new LP "Artpop"...

She is declared "good" by Mr CBQ...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : New machine...
