The last morning of feeding Rory Custard...

He's a wee cutie but impossibly timid and shy...

The view of Crispycat Towers from his garden...

Into town for breakfast at Patisserie Florentin...

Pains au Raisin with lovely coffee...

Then, a walk about...

..and some purchases made...

We popped by Jane & Bobby's on the way home to water their garden...

Home and listening to my first purchase - an LP, by Lionel Rogg, of J S Bach's organ music, which my dad had when I was a boy - I remember playing it a lot after seeing the original "Rollerball", which used "Toccata and Fugue in in D Minor" over the opening scenes...

Also picked up this disc of Ravel's piano music for two hands, which contains one of the works we witnessed being performed, four weeks ago already, in Baden Baden...

...a disc of Latin American baroque music...

...and a 2CD set marking the 100th anniversary of the Concertgebouworkest of Amsterdam...

Tasty...

In the late afternoon, down to Keith and Maureen's, where nephew Craig and partner Arianne had made a rare appearance...

Hey hey, it's the Monkees...

After much good chat - including tales of upcoming new cats - conventionally for Craig and Arianne but involving a rather long road trip for Abby and Blair - and tasty nosh and drinks, it was time to head home...

Oh, and we watched the World Cup Final - France beat Croatia 4-2 - their first two goals were extremely questionable but, hey ho, that's football...

Today's artwork : "Back in the PF"...

Highlight of the Day : Finding my dad's old LP...

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!
