This morning, compiled an Ich + Ich singles collection to compliment that put together a few weeks ago for 2Raumwohnung, before we popped down the road to The Original Coffee Bean for some breakfast...

Home for some tidying up, with several guitars taken into the attic leaving just one acoustic and the new electric downstairs for "everyday" use...

Took Anne and Lynn round to Penny's at 2pm for the three of them to have an afternoon of admin and chat (and coffee and cakes) re their upcoming trip to Majorca...

Back at the house, I untidied again by setting up the studio and mucking about with the new guitar and my various effects pedals, including the Loop Station, only really ever used just after I bought it, now almost nine years ago...

We'll see...

Out to my mum's around four, picking up a prescription on the way (although the people at the pharmacy did not give me all the drugs she was expecting)...

I'd copied the entries here re the Italian holiday on to the laptop hard drive, so they could be viewed offline given my mum's non-online status...

Much enjoyed...

Just as we reached the final day, a call from nephew Andy - he and Tori celebrating their first wedding anniversary this weekend - advising they were on their way for a surprise visit...

We were joined by sister Sheila and enjoyed a tasty but, for me, probably (definitely) unnecessary Chinese meal...

Some writing with Andy is in the offing...

Back home to Anne, who'd had a great time with her chums...

Some re-tidying carried out re all the boxes and wires I'd left everywhere before setting off to my mum's...

Some TV catch up...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Firing up the machines...

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!
