May the fourth is always with me...

61 today...

Another environ recording and then, to creating a brand new soundscapes album from scratch, using the four recordings made so far, a treated version of Buddy Holly's "It Just Doesn't Matter Anymore", number 1 in the UK on the day I was born, and some found short wave radio...

Birthday portrait...

Possible album cover (subsequently rejected)...

Presents from Anne - scones beckon...

Poached eggs for breakfast....

...and a listen back to the early morning work...

Discussions with Anne and back to the drawing board - excising all the vocals from the track to give the treated section I'm using more cohesion...

And, around lunchtime, I was ready to upload this - with the original draft as a bonus track for those who choose to download...

A cheeky wee name check for Anne there...

A very welcome visit from Olly and Kitty....

...bringing birthday goodies for their old uncle...

These were very good and meant the cake could be saved for later...

"Father Brown" watched almost live...

Someone on Twitter was interested in seeing the remains of my record collection - pictures were supplied...

Today's classical piece, 6 of 100, was Bach's Orchestral Suite No 3 in D, the one with Air on a G String...

Nice - played late afternoon due to time taken to record the new LP...

In the early evening, a 45 minute walk...

I had not been out since Friday...

Back home, more of the wine opened on Friday - plus reading the jazz book...

And a very tasty birthday tea was prepared...

I contemplated growing my hair in a Viotti stylee...

This was ideal...

As was this...

Mmmm, mmmm....

This weekend's "Van Der Valk" was enjoyed...

Followed by some music listening before bed...

Birthday over yet again...

Highlight of the Day : It being my birthday...
