And June, the fourth weird month in a row, is gone...

Slept in...

...but up to reasonable views...

...and a sunny influx...

...as I enjoyed some listening...

...and contemplated work...

For example, how does this look?

Coffee time - Anne's new pic has gotten off to a good start...

This morning's classical piece was Dvorak's ninth...

A day of WFH and them some other "work"...

The jazz taken down, the classical A-Z boxed up...

All stuff , other than the "Hi Fi", removed from the shelves

..and replaced with the boxes...

Notwithstanding that, all this...

...remained behind me...

Then an idea as to how to brighten up the boxes...

Today's random LP, the classic 2LP set by Yes from 1973...

...bought on 11 December 1976 at Deja Vu, Tollcross for £2.95 (£20.24 in today’s money)...

It was my 3rd Yes LP after “Fragile” and “Close to the Edge”. A trilogy of progression...

I started the adornment...

...before a football top clad Zoom meet with the boys from the 5 a sides...

Final state of play, for now...

Lights out...

..but not before mentioning we started watching "Star Trek : Picard" and have been sucked in already...

Highlight of the Day : Boxes...

Deliveries and consternation...

Slept in...

In dire need of a shave...

But, first, views...

Shave...

Today's classical piece, a welcome break from the plethora of large orchestral pieces on this list, with a Dvorak string quartet...

The beast was in its headphones...

Banana breakfast...

Today's random LP was a long time favourite - according to my list, the 20th LP I owned...

A visit from the squirrels - avoiding something or other...

  

The postie brought a bountiful pile of stuff...

...which turned out to be this lot, meaning nothing more is expected...

...for now...

Following these deliveries, the number of composers by whom I have string quartets, has risen to 208...

Hmmm - I could do 8 quartets a week for 6 months?

A new listening project perhaps?

An hour later, a courier delivery...

This was cardboard boxes - a revamp of the back room is required in order to free up space...

...meanwhile, Anne did something she likes...

The new painting was started...

What's that?  New painting?  Got any nuts?

Meanwhile...

Uh-oh...

Consternation as to exactly what to do...

At this juncture, I'd basically just taken down all the jazz CDs, put them in the boxes and put them back up again...

Consternation II...

III...

IV...

Hmmm...

One for tomorrow I think....

Consternation V...

OK, that's enough consternation...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Deliveries...
