A good up time...

..and listening to my ten "fave" composers of the 20th century on shuffleplay...

...while today's classical piece in my stupid project to play 100 of them over 100 days, was Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade" - the one, the recording of which eluded me and led me to buy the version played today...

Kitchen views...

With coffee acquired, it was time to finish off the adornment of the boxes...

It took an hour and a half...

Breakfast, a sausagey treat...

Progress may be made again today...

These pictures are an attempt to explain (on the Twitter) why my music, if displayed via the spines, is always filed from right to left...

Thus...

...which has meant that, when I transferred them into the boxes, I could put them straight in...

Were I to have filed them left to right - as the majority of people do - despite the printing on the CD spines...

Thus...

...then, when I'd come to put them into the boxes, I would have had to have reordered every single CD or they would have been upside down...

As noted above the new boxes are, of course, filed left to right, perfectly logically, as they do not display the spines...

Very few seem to get this...

Like my "spine-outwards-displayed" CDs, my LPs are filed right to left, of course...

Anyway, talking of LPs, today's random LP was this from Neu! from 1973...

  

...bought on the 14th of February, 1980 for £1.60 (£7.41 in today's money)...

They ran out of cash, so side two comprises two sides of a 7” single, played at the correct and other various speeds and recorded onto cassette and manipulated...



I must admit that, as regards side two, I only played the two sides of the single today...

Meanwhile, Anne was doing something eminently more worthwhile in creating a superbly tasty beef chili...

...before my Zoom meet with the ladies who lose...

Some "Picard", having watched the final available "Father Brown" at lunchtime...

Then, lights out...

Nearly the weekend...

Highlight of the Day : Boxes done - no, wait, Anne's chili...
