Up probably too early and listening to music from LPs I bought in the year of release - a new project I've undertaken (in fact doing this has eaten into the time I usually set aside to writing this blog - hence the lack of posts this week - it's next Saturday as I update this)...


In the garden next door, the family who used to live there has been gone for over 10 months - the young guys who live there now do nothing in the garden - hence this left behind plastic thing lies exactly where it was left by a departing child over 44 weeks ago....


Out for brunch to Badger & Co...


...with a lovely lady...


Tasty coffee...


Smashed Avocados and Poached Eggs on toast for her...


Smoked Salmon Scrambled Eggs on Toast for me...


Back home and more identification of LPs bought in the year of release...

Met with Dr Prog at 4 at the new Rose Theatre for a late afternoon/early evening performance by one of my fave groups, The Bad Plus...





90 minutes of excellence - and goodbye to pianist Ethan Iverson, who will leave at the end of 2017...




End of an era - but a new LP with Orrin Evans will be recorded in the autumn for release in Spring 2018...

I look forward to this new beginning...

Home and a relaxing evening, post just too many chips for any normal person to be able to eat, from the local fish and chip emporium...

Some telly, some listening, some compiling of a playlist of the Bad Plus' set and to bed, weekend over...

Highlight of the day : Out for breakfast / The Bad Plus....
