Monday morning again...

No, wait, it was Tuesday wasn't it?  Yes it was...

Overcast so indoor scenes...

Once again, once it was charged up again, shuffling previously unlistened to songs on the iPod while the random LP of the day and the classical piece of the day waited their turn...

Stuff moved from the window sill in the back room to decorate the speakers...

 

Probably a mistake...

Coffee in the living room...

..and inspecting the 67 CDs which have entered the collection since the start of lockdown...

Until my visit to Fopp last Saturday morning, almost exclusively classical...

Mushrooms were involved in breakfast...

I do like a mushroom...

Today's classical piece was "La Mer" by Debussy...

Once again, I'm not a big fan of pieces for a large orchestra...

This was good - or it would have been had I gotten round to listening to it...

The sleeve conveys the excitement...

I finally got round to finding some LPs I used to have and which have eluded me for a long time...

...which was good...

Tonight, most likely the last family Zoom quiz, as niece in law Julie is due to give birth in a week's time...

We were quiz masters - Anne having compiled some excellent questions...

It went down very well and, for once, was extremely close...

Post that, some more elusive LP sourcing as "Buddy Miles Live" rejoined the collection after a number of decades away...

This is how....etc...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Finding old albums I used to own...
