Up early again - no gym today - ripping continued...

Around 11:30, took Anne to her mum's - this afternoon they witnessed Hearts end Celtic's 69 game unbeaten run against domestic opponents in some style, as the Jam Tarts thrashed the Hoops by 4 goals to nil...

Whilst monitoring this and ripping CDs, I also tidied up the back room...

It becomes so untidy so easily...

Tiger visited...

Around three, he was invited out of the house and I drove out to my mum's, where sister Sheila and brother in law Andrew were already in attendance...

Good chat ensued...

My mum has failed her test to ascertain if she is fit to drive and, at 87 years old is having to surrender her license...

Her car has already been sold...

Sadly, her recent delirium and pneumonia and infection bouts have done for her spatial awareness and she is no longer safe behind the wheel...

She is taking it well, I must say...

End of an era...

At 5, over to Anne's mum's, where the mood was, of course, for a house full of Jambos, jubilant...

I had taken no pics and so handed the camera to Olly, which resulted in these...

He then undertook some crumb sculpting...

Kitty got in on the act too...

She likes the fact that I am bald and wanted to take some pics of said baldness - who was I to deny the young lady...

Home and yet another visit from Tiger - who seems to recognise the sound of our car now...

"The Apprentice" final - man the contestants were abysmal and Sugar ended up investing in both finalists...

Of course I have to remind myself this is the man who duped millions with his Amstrad products...

Olly and I enjoyed some barbed txt exchanges on the proceedings but I had to give up half way through the subsequent "You're Hired" farrago...

Some late night Handel listening as I brought this up to date before Tiger was ejected once more and we hit the sack...

Highlight of the Day : Probably Hearts thrashing Celtic...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

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!
