51 years ago today...


Views...





The beast was in the colander...


The desk...


The mushrooms...


...today became the main ingredient in an omelette...



Not bad...



Some new tracks added to the playlist designed around my big "Chronicle of Classical Music" book - I have reached 1700...

Meanwhile, today's classical piece of the 100 - more Bartok...


Later, Anne made scones, re the expected arrival of Ali, Julie and new baby Harris...


...and Fang popped by for something he likes...


...coinciding with a lunchtime visit from sister in law Jane as we watched a "Taskmaster"...


In the afternoon, a call off from our expected visitors due to baby complications...

Scones enjoyed on our own...


This evening, the new amp was being warmed to...



..with some out there classical stuff...



A very tasty tea of home-made fajitas...


...coincided with an over an hour long call with sister Sheila re how mum is getting on...

As we settled down to watch "Holby Ciy" an unexpected visitor...



The fox was looking to try and catch and eat a squirrel...





The squirrel was not for being caught and eaten...


Back to some listening...


..including today's random record...


“Neues Deutschland” a Neue Deutsche Welle compilation from 1981...


...bought during a couple of hours in Munich on the 8th of September 1982, just before taking a train to Berchtesgaden....

I got it for Fehlfarben and Neon Babies....


Paid the Deutschmark equivalent of £2.35 (£8.38 today). Enjoyable!


I got ahead of myself and also listened to tomorrow's classical piece, more Bartok...


..and closed the day with some Argent...





Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Warming to the amp...
