I think we may need a skip...

Playlist
Udo Lindenberg - Atlantic Affairs
Kronos Quartet - White Man Sleeps
Various - iTunes Shuffleplay
Cloudland Blue Quartet & Peri Urban - 29.V.96 & 6.VI.96
Crazy Wisdom - A Death Junkie's Last Peep Show
Crazy Wisdom - The Reptile Tapes

Up at seven going through all the DVDs we've watched and kept and deciding which ones I wanted to retain, which I could sell on Amazon and which should go to the British Heart Foundation...

The last of these three lists was by far the biggest...

Breakfast, then to the attic...

Some old lights were found...


And some other blasts from the past...



...including directions for Crazy Wisdom live mixes....


And the case taken to Bavaria in 1983....


Golden slippers and a plastic champagne cork...


..and my mum's Uncle Bill's bowler hat - a little too small for my mis-shapen head...


..and, in  an envelope of cherished photos from Uncle Bill's house, this of your correspondent and much missed Sister Pam....




Some progress was made but there remains much to do...







To Stockbridge and piles of books and DVDs donated to the BHF...

A quick lunch at the local market and then out to my mum's...

Although a little under the weather, still on good form at eighty four and two thirds...


To Anne's mum's for the first family tea since February....

Kitty ought to have read this book by now but was under pressure being just over half way through it, with a test on its content tomorrow...


Various birthdays were celebrated...


A young man and two old men...




Cake was provided...





..with strawberries and unpictured ice cream...


Kitty tried a new hairstyle...


A sprightly eighty two year old artist had a new work based on this picture taken on a Bavarian holiday to the place to which, thirty two years ago, the previously pictured suitcase was taken...



Kitty drew comparisons (when she really ought to have been reading her book)...



Back home and some more going through stuff from the attic, including this from 1996...

The first release to include the CBQ moniker...


...and this rather splendid EP from 1993...


...upon listening to which, I brought the five hours of Crazy Wisdom archives into iTunes and started on a listening marathon...

Five years which came to nothing - like the majority (or, actually, all) of my music all exploits - condensed into five hours and destined for a skip...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Discoveries...
