A partial return to normality from today...

Feeling tired and a little sore but soldiering on...

In Yorkshire, nephew Andy and his wife Tori advised the arrival, in the early hours of the morning, of their baby - his forenames are Douglas, after my dad, who died in 2003 and Ray, after Tori's grandfather, who died more recently...

I suppose, on that basis, had things not gone quite so well a few weeks ago, the new youngster might have been called David...

And, had he been born five, rather than seven, days early, his birth would have coincided with the fourth anniversary of sister Pam's passing...

But hey ho enough maudlin thoughts - it's celebration time and he looks ok for a baby - I tend to think they all look the same till they get a few months under their belt...

Meanwhile...

The big ripping project continued to the point where I am within reach of the end of the "rock & pop" albums...

On TV this evening, "London Spy" ended reasonably satisfactorily but I would have liked to have seen what happened to the characters post the end titles...

Lights out on the first day of a new wee monkey...

Highlight of the Day : Return of the Dougmeister, kind of...

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!
