Up to record the podcast...
Up to record the podcast...
Having excised 8 tracks last night, I re-included them as a "bonus" at the end - nipping down to the kitchen during one of the longer tracks in the main body to record new links and cook up some coffee...
Done, dusted - today's environment recording also done...
Happy birthday messages sent to chum Jorgo in Gensungen-Felsberg...
The house was ready for breakfast...
The EP explained how's she's getting on with her latest painting...
Then, to breakfast prep...
Saturday morning radio...
Spot the difference?
Learning two new covers, Lindisfarne's "Lady Eleanor" (one of the first singles I bought, back in 1972), as featured in today's podcast - and Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach"...
Then, out for a long walk - my sambas are nice and comfortable for such a thing - and, currently, not in use re 5 a sides, sadly...
Half an hour in, we were at Carricknowe...
...and continued on to the footpath that follows the tram and rail-lines...
...along to the golf course...
An attempted pop in to chum Lynn's social distanced garden for a coffee, was thwarted by her (we found out later) having been in the shower when we phoned...
We had a look at Anne's mum's old house - the new lady was painting a fence...
Onwards, back to the old disused railway line...
...where a message had been left...
Briefly onto the main road - we noticed the traffic is heavier now than it was a couple of weeks back when we undertook a similar walk...
More views, as we wandered round the back of...
..what was once an orphaned children's home...
Past deserted tennis courts...
Chum Stu Cobley was also out for a walk - and posted this - which I've cropped and monochromed (sorry Stu) - entitled "Electric Chair"...
Home - five miles in just under two hours - not bad...
...and always good to come home to parcels containing things you'd forgotten you'd ordered...
Tasty music...
...and new guitar straps...
...now attached to down here not in the attic acoustic and acoustic bass guitars...
Played the new songs again, then had a wee play of the bass along to a 5 year old drum idea...
Uninspiring...
Then, today's classical selection, Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" which, the sleeve notes advise, originally had two further movements, as noted in contemporaneous writings but now, lost to antiquity, as they say...
There is also no record of exactly why Mozart wrote this, one of his most famous and tuneful compositions...
Later, some squirrel action...
...including a chase...
To the winner...
...the spoils - erm, insect flavour suet pellets......
For several hours it seemed, Anne was cooking tonight's beef chilli/stroganoff...
It was, however, absolutely worth the wait...
...and enjoyed along with the "Dad's Army" episode with the famous "Don't tell him, Pike" line...
Classic...
A call to my mum post Anne's culinary delight...
Mum was moved yesterday to a non-Covid ward, following a negative result on the latest test - her legs seem to be getting better too, although she is still weak from the Corona infection...
At least her phone's volume is back up - last night's call was aborted as she couldn't hear me - she always automatically blames me when that happens but she is invariably proven to have accidentally engineered the situation herself...
For the better part of the evening, an excellent film "The Darkest Hour" starring Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill...
Then, late on, some listening in the living room with the EP to these beauties...
Lights out early at 11:32...
Saturday over...
Highlight of the Day: Anne's chili and coming home to unexpected parcels...
