December gone...

..and, indeed, 2017...

On opening the curtains, I imagined I saw wee Tiger prostrate in the garden - it turned out to be a couple of rocks...

Updated the big red books of CDs I own...

Tasty bacon & egg toasted sandwich breakfast at home...

...and some piano music on the new system...

...which continued in the car as I went to visit my mum...

She was in good spirits and deemed this pic of her with her latest flowers as "not bad"...

Back home and the first two episodes of "Spiral" watched and enjoyed before heading out to pick up the New Year's Eve Indian takeaway...

"Rogue One", the Star Wars insert film (set between parts III and IV) was watched and enjoyed, despite, in my head nit-picking and annoyance that so many in the world somehow find these films to be "significant"...

Oh well...

Jools Holland's Hootenanny was dire...

...but the fireworks from Edinburgh were ok - despite the very annoying piped over the top it seemed disco music with Gaelic vocals - it's a dead language, let it go...

To bed at 12:15 and into 2018...

Mr Grumpy hit the sack...

Highlight of the Day : Tasty Indian...

A splendid time and time to let go...

Up early once again...

...and, this morning, released this into the void...

I have been working on it since May 2016 - time to let go...

82 tracks of my music, solo and collaborations, across the last 40 years...

Also uploaded this week's podcast, the last of 2017 - next year I'm cutting them back to one hour a week instead of two...

The view from the office this morning I...

The view from the office this morning II...

The view from the office this morning III...

The "new" back room remains good...

I...

II...

III...

IV...

Outside a we chum was taking in the view from his own office...

...and I was listening to...

...Alice Cooper on the new system...

Downstairs later on, some Handel appreciated by me, not so much so by the Exec Producer...

..and some art perused re the new "Art Shelf"...

Franz Kline is a particular favourite...

Some Taylor Swift and DaDa...

...accompanied by coffee...

...and relaxation...

...while the garden was good...

In the afternoon out to brother in law Keith's with Mary for some New Year's Eve's Eve drinks and tastiness...

...with, later on, chums and more family...

A splendid time was had with Keith and Maureeen as superb hosts - delicious food and more of drink than a stick might have been shaken in the direction...

Home and another visit from Tiger...

..whilst sounds, my top CDs and Downloads from each month of 2017, entertained...

To bed, worn out...

Highlight of the Day : Celebrating...
