Up early on Annie's birthday - which we really celebrated a day early - but still special...



Cards opened...

Of  out int the dark...

At lunchtime, along to Fopp...

This is good disco/electronic music for £3...

Mostly Mr Johnny Jewel and his various offshoots - Italians do iy better in the dark, apparently...

This is funkier than you might expect - Cameo were an excellent funk band for almost a decade before "Word Up"...

And, the new Pet Shop Boys album - special 2CD version with the instrumental disc...

The view from the office this evening I...

The view from the office this evening II...

Ripping and listening and telly watching...

Pet Shop Boys is good but somehow I'm always a little disappointed with them these days - can't really put my finger on it...

Notwithstanding that, most likely my Album of the Month, release-wise...

Highlight of the Day : Anne's birthday, even though it was kind of yesterday...
