Various - iPod Shuffleplay

The view from the front office this morning...

...and, from the back office...

Much time today as spent working on this...

A break was taken for a breakfast away from home, at Cafe Citron, Mozart having entertained to and from the purveyor of tasty breakfast rolls and coffees...

Over the course of around seven hours, excluding the breakfast break, a new mix was developed and the formats are gradually falling into place...

It is not music which my mum will like...

A visit this afternoon - Jeroen Van Veen's accompanying on the journey minimal piano music was opined "good" by the EP - found mum in good form...

She's still finding it hard to grasp the concepts involved with her new pone system...

To Anne's mum's...

Kitty had not had much sleep last night, having "camped out in the garden" of a friend who lives near Crispycat Towers...

But she managed these portraits of some of those gathered and enjoying Anne's mum's tasty fayre...

The Exec Producer...

A rather unflattering rendering of her brother...

The Bob (Medley)...

Keith, in triumphant mode (JTs - top o' the league)...

Your bespectacled, puzzling music creating correspondent...

...who finished off the look around the table...

Gesticulating Jane...

Maureen enjoying some vino...

Mary trying to understand why the telly in her kitchen keeps going on the blink...

...and Kitty struggling to stay awake...

Home to watch Dr Michael Moseley's latest documentary for "Horizon", the conclusion being that medically testing healthy individuals is not the best use of NHS resources - they should be used to assist those with acute and serious illnesses...

Ended the day with some Beethoven and a shuffle of the newly refilled iPod whilst perusing "Match of the Day 2"...

Meanwhile Queens' stay at the top of the league was short-lived, as The Rangers humped Alloa 5-1 this afternoon. QoS will need to beat the Scottish League's newest club if they are going to take the title...

Given the two teams' respective playing staff budgets, this is "a big ask" - as they, rather annoyingly and seemingly without any knowledge of the rules of the English language, say...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Progressing the project...

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!
