Some early morning tidying re a switch around started last night...

Still work to be done...

Out, under red skies...

It was only this morning I realised why it is we have the saying "Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning, red sky at night, shepherd's delight"...

A red sky in the morning means the sun is being reflected off clouds and so there's a chance of rain - at night the cloud cover signalled suggests it won't be too cold on the hillside for the sheep...

I think anyway...

"Death in Paradise" and Vic and Bob's "House of Fools" once again entertained on a Tuesday night...

Other than that, tickets booked for a Brazilian ballet troupe in November and some prep for trips...

Highlight of the Day : Good skies...

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!
