What's that Ted? You like the new look of your room? Glad to hear it...

At Fopp today, a bit of a splurge on recently introduced jazz titles, each, as noted in the pics below, for just three of your English pounds...

Puts things into perspective when you consider how much it costs for two cups of, admittedly tasty, coffee and two, admittedly very tasty indeed, Portuguese Tarts in a trendy cafe in Stockbridge...

And that's also taking into account that said cost was, comparatively, pretty reasonable for coffee and cake for two...

So that's that justified then...

A lovely day and jacket and cardigans possibly put away until autumn - we'll see...

This evening, some jazz listening...

...some shouting at the computer screen re the stupidity of many of the Scottish Electorate and our glorious leader - she had no answer as to how cuts of £30bn can be termed "savage", whilst plainly unaffordable proposed spending increases of five times that amount can be described as "modest"...

And if free tuition at Scottish Universities is so great, how come a "working class" person in Scotland is much less likely to go to university than a similar person in England?

The SNP's policies do not help the poorest in society they help the middle classes obtain free prescription healthcare, zero increases in council tax imposed by central dictat and free tertiary eduction - all of which they could easily afford, giving the government the very funds it intends to borrow to help the poorest in society...

Truly mad...

Thankfully, a much harder time was had this week than in the UK debate last week for the SNP leader, given her opponents and the audience actually knew a bit about how badly her party has run things here...

Anyway, "Holby"'s coming on so time to shut down and do something more interesting instead...

Highlight of the Day : Jazz splurge...

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!
