Probably my best night all told but still very little sleep...

Up early and getting ready to be signed out...

A visit from Mr P-B and I thanked him for all he and his team had done for me - he advised, on a scale of 1-10, my gallbladder was a 10 on a level of nastiness...

I will wear that as a badge of honour...

I never thought I'd be involved in gangrene...

The view from the office as I waited for Anne to collect me...

Dressings were changed...

And out into the bright November sun....

And home for relaxation - recuperation period up to six weeks apparently...

This had popped through the door in my absence and provided a complimentary soundtrack to relaxation...

A visit in the afternoon from nephew Andy and heavily pregnant wife Tori...

Catching upon some TV, "Dr Who", "New Girl", "Unforgotten" etc etc...

Busy doing nothing...

At nine, "Downton Abbey" beckoned for Anne, so I quickly brought this back up to date re a very strange and, thankfully, happily ended, week..

Very sore, very tired, very happy...

Highlight of the Day : Home...

Unknown said...: That's a real horror story, David. Hiccough are so sore when they go on and on. Amazing how they can sort most things out satisfactorally . Onwards and upwards.; 1:54 pm
Renton said...: Hi Dave, glad the episode seems to be over and you're feeling better (that is SOME SCAR!!). Hilariously, I only found out how bad it was because we were in seeing Bernie for our latest re-mortgage, and I nonchalantly asked if you were in the building. Did not get the response I expected!!

Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: Hi Scott - thanks for popping by. It's a nine incher to put it into context, which I couldn't without revealing my big man boobs!; 2:30 pm
Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: Hi Moira - onwards and upwards indeed. Not an experience I am looking forward to repeating anytime soon. Pass on my best to Lex!; 2:31 pm

Crispycat Latest Release

David Reilly AKA Cloudland Blue Quartet, created his first soundscape, "The Drone Effect" back in December 1977. 46 years later, he finally gave two live soundscape performances, in Edinburgh on 4 November 2023 and in Newcastle on 18 January 2024, playing the 40 minute piece available here on Bandcamp as "Live Suite 2023/24". On 30 August 2024 he premiered a new 40 minute suite for 2024/25 at Fopp in Edinburgh and this piece was performed again at the Switched On Electronic Music Festival in Whitby, Yorkshire on 9 November 2024. This album, "Live Suite 2024/25" was created specifically to be performed at these last two events and, like "Live Suite 2023/24", may well be performed again in the future. Free to Stream/Name Your Price to Download, the download bundle contains the studio mix of the live performance version of "Live Suite 2024/25"

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!
