A good birthday present...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Twenty Four Paintings (Details)
Various Artists - 2014 Weekly Playlists
Zemlinsky - String Quartets 1 & 2
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - Lost Songs
Mysliveček - Six Sonatas for Two Cellos and Bass
The Velvet Underground - Live In Columbus 1966

First thing, the first painting of 2014 created...

Mid morning, a new place for Sunday breakfast discovered, Ravenous at Stockbridge...

Porridge for your correspondent was deemed a success - as was the Exec Producer's bacon toast sandwich...

To the market - this week a CD stall...

Two for £5 - no bad sound...

At Shelter, a disc of 18th Century sonatas for two cellos and double bass (with harpsichord thrown in) for £2...

Back home, the flowers continue to do well...

Back garden...

Front garden...

To my mum's, where a friendly neighbourhood cat said hello...

Chat and coffee...

To Jane and Bobby's for Bobby's birthday barbecue - and father's day - this from the crafty hands of the Kitster...

An owl made from small elastic bands...

The artist bouncing...

Her 98 year old great grandmother also in attendance...

And a small dog...

And a brother sorting out his auntie's new phone...

Kitty explained the ins and outs of something gymnastical to her grandmother

..while the birthday boy cooked...

..and bees buzzed...

Report cards were read out...

Two successful children it seems...

BBQ enjoyed and cake to follow - Happy Birthday sung along to the musical cake cutting device...

Your correspondent abstained as much as possible...

A small Malteser from this was subsequently given in to...

Home around nine and some work undertaken before watching Argentina, less than convincingly, beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1...

A convoluted series of bets hinges on the blue and white team - one on which I cannot lose money but there is a question mark over how much I can win...

It won't be as much as the £318 Bobby won on a five match, £2 accumulator earlier, when Switzerland secured a 2-1 victory over Ecuador with the last kick of the game...

A good birthday present...

Highlight of the Day : Birthday bash...

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!
