Up quite probably too early but couldn't sleep due to a painful shoulder...
Accordingly, made my way to the back room at stupid o'clock...
..for some monochrome scenes...
1st task of the day was to listen to the recording of last night's podcast to make sure it was ok...
Some outside views as it became brighter...
...then to uploading the podcast...
...while coffee was enjoyed...
..along with today's classical piece, Tchaikovsky's 4th symphony - the penultimate by Mr T...
For breakfast, Anne cooked some bacon - I eschewed the roll and, instead took some scrambled eggs and mushrooms...
As is the way on a Saturday morning, the radio was enjoyed...
..while the hare looked on...
By 11, I'd also managed to bring this nonsense up to date...
And so, to making some scones...
Another reasonable batch...
...one each of which was enjoyed by us with strawberries and a "Father Brown"...
Early afternoon, a hotel was booked for a still hoped for holiday Bavaria in September - we have already cut it short by a week just in case - along with postponing our Welsh trip from May to October - hopefully that too can go ahead...
Soundtracked by some late 70's Italian prog...
...which was deemed merely OK although raved about by some prog-loving Twitterchums...
Another chum, who is more into glam rock, advised he'd just got Dennis Dunaway's Alice Cooper Group biography and was asking if it was any good - I opined it was probably the best of this bunch...
...but that he should also avail himself of the Michael Bruce book - he was the "outsider" of the band but also wrote the best tunes and, indeed, as Dunaway acknowledges, spurred the band on to writing their own material, pushing them on from being a Yardbirds/Who covers band...
Meanwhile, the shoulder was getting worse and, outside, it was now pouring...
...as Prokofiev stepped up to the plate - this the one of the three quartet discs which arrived last week which didn't make it into the podcast...
It's rather good...
..and was followed by a 50 year old album I suggested a while back to a Twitterchum which, today, was suggested back to me so why not....
The CD contains a second session of a further six pieces with an almost completely different lineup - the singing is, of course, hellish but the musicking saves the day...
Another "Berlin Station" late in the afternoon...
Later still, a delivery arrived, a tasty Purcell disc...
...and more new to me quartets...
Before partaking though, I decided to pick CDs at random - three numbers determined the wall section, the subsection within the wall section and the disc itself - while I played the first couple of tracks...
My first two random choices were these...
...both of which were better than expected...
Then, I threw it open to Twitter and got four more suggestions...
...which were enjoyed before a superb, Red Thai Chicken Curry and a half glass of wine...
...which was followed by an episode of "Vera" and a late call to my mum...
Another six suggested discs awaited...
An entertaining random selection...
By this time, the shoulder and, indeed, arm were in agony and I was ready to hit the sack...
Lights out with Harbison's quartets in the cans, Purcell will wait till tomorrow...
Owya!
Highlight of the Day : Being a kind of baker...
