The view from the office this morning...

More work on the new track...

It was supposed to be swift work...

It was not...

But it was followed by a nice breakfast...

A couple of new portraits...

For no particular reason...

At lunchtime, back to the Cancer Research shop, where I bought the Ring Cycle on Saturday...

Two more Wagner operas partaken of...

A box of Morrissey CD Singles eschewed but this, from Norwegian Lena Marlin, nabbed...

...along with this for 50p...

Back home, some ripping and listening, of course and yet more work on the new track - mostly remixing but still not right..

And, "University Challenge" - 145 points tonight - not enough to win but we were second...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : New CDs...

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!
