A big moon this morning, although it does still look small in this pic...

...as I headed into the city...

Last night, whilst preparing yesterday's entry, the pic of the cupola indicated a flaw in the nw camera, which was then corroborated by the uncropped pic of the magpie on our neighbour's roof from the previous day...

Accordingly, today, my task was to have the new machine replaced toute de suite...

Test pic w/ version two...

By way of "celebration", in HMV I bought the new New Order album and Portishead's debut from 1994...

The New Order did not disappoint although it meanders in places (says the man preparing his next release as a four CD set)...

As for Portishead - well, upon listening to what I always think of as the soundtrack to the TV series "This Life", I realised why it has taken 21 years to enter the collection...

It's just so one dimensional...

The best track, "Glory Road" relies on a sample of an Isaac Hayes track which, basically, is the tune - yet the Portisheads get the writing credit with nothing for Ike...

Weird...

Anyway, home in the dark...

...to listen to said new acquisitions, get some way to finalising my top 50 LPs released in 2015 (the ones I own that is), enjoy some tasty home-made soup and quite excelletn bread and watch the last "Holby" of the year...

That was it...

Highlight of the day : A seamless camera swop...
