Good skies this morning as I made my way down the hill...

...not to mention landmarks of topiarification...

...and berries...

Soundtracked today by two new bootlegs - The Coops from '73 and Zappa from Knebworth, enjoyed by these eyes and ears live on the very day in question, almost 37 years ago...

Walking fast on the way home...

Must have sensed an excellent prawn and chorizo pasta based tea being cooked by the talented EP...

The view from the office this evening, as I waited for "New Tricks" and "Holby", said EP having nixed a second Bourne based film...

The views included these...

...while the soundtrack was a Sid Smith podcast, inspired by and inspiring subsequent selections from these...

The rest of the evening comprised enjoyable detective and medical based hokum...

Gogglebox ahoy...

Highlight of the Day : The Coops live in '73...

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!
