Another cold, cold day...

...but with beautiful blue skies...

A message from Anne in the afternoon...

"Just watched the squirrel gnaw through the string attached to the coconut shell, then lay it down on top of the frozen water saucer and now eating the contents!!!!"

This the scene, post the application of squirrel craftiness and ingenuity...

Back home, the last of the Jean-Michel Jarre influx had arrived...

...and was enjoyed...

As was this later on, while doing some CD filing, after a tasty home-made vegetable curry...

"Shetland" was watched and found to be ok, although, as with most Scottish TV, the acting was a little, shall we say, "ropey"...

Not to worry, we will return...

Highlight of the Day : Squirrel story - mon the squirrels...

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!
