Sanguine Hum - What We Ask is Where We Begin

Sanguine Hum - Now We Have Light

The view from the office this morning, around 7 am…

Later on, out to fulfil an order and to obtain some new garments re a couple of upcoming trips…

Of course, I was forgetting that in Scotchland, 2 Jan is also a holiday and so, the Post Offices were shut…

Clothing, however, was duly obtained…

Home for coffee...

Along with some tasty bread…

In the afternoon, an unpictured veritable picnic at the dining room table for lunch, including homemade pickles and pates and some of yesterday’s trifle…

As Anne watched some programmes about penguins…

…I worked on the content for this week’s podcast, the first of the newly shortened one hour versions…

Seven Xmas present tracks, seven new downloads and the Vee Jay box set will feature…

Also discovered some more new music, in particular Sam Baber and his band Sanguine Hum, courtesy of Sid Smith via the Twitter…

“Xmas University Challenge” saw us once again beat the losing team…

A tasty tea comprising chicken escalope, roast potatoes and cabbage, conjured up memories of Onkel Otto’s Schnitzel Paradies in Stuttgart…

Tasty…

Then, to recording the podcast links and putting the programme together…

Later on, “Holby City” – a good episode switching back and forth from shot Ollie to jailed Ric and, kind of, taking things forward…

Finally, here is today’s artwork, 2018-01-02…

Lights out…

Highlight of the Day : New shirts, new music, new art and schnitzels…
