Sunday and up...


Working in my PJs...


Down for coffee...


Helped by a lizard...


Done...


Good skies..


Playing some random LPs of the day to catch up, while I awaited the emergence of the EP...

Sparks' debut - much better than I'd remembered....


Originally released under the name Halfnelson...


This is the re-release, post their "This Town" fame, mid 70's...



Anne eschewed a shopping trip so, off to Sainsbury for my mum's stuff - soundtracked by this stonewall classic...



Mike Garson's piano playing introduced many a teenybopper to "jazz"...



Of course I didn't take the record with me, enjoying it, instead, digitally, on the cans, as I shopped...

Back home, more Sparks...




Pulling Rabbits Out of a Hat...


Then, some episodes of "Emily in Paris", our new favourite on the stupidly subscribed to subscription channels...

But, before that, as I watched a video of "Simon's Cat" on Anne's iPod, Fang the Black Cat arrived for a visit...


Off he went post some Dreamies but, later on, he returned and settled down on an under the weather and so not best to come along to visit my mum, Anne..


When I returned a couple of hours later, he was still here...


Note the fang, from which, perhaps, he gets his name...

In the evening, shuffling the "Unplayed" playlist on my phone... 



I currently have 21,000 tracks on it, which are noted as being “Unplayed”...

So, even if I listened 24 hours a day, it’d take 76 days just to listen to each one once....

And the content of my phone only goes back to February 2019...

It is for this reason that immortality is required!

That and being able to enjoy, as much and as often as possible, Anne's Spag Bog...


More work today in tandem with Edward Spark, on the possibly proposed Disquiet Songs EP...

That and the 3rd of 4 re new Sunday night staple "Roadkill"...

And Anne enjoyed "Strictly Results"...

Good to see the two worst dancers in the dance off for a change...

Ok that's enough...

Highlight of the Day : Spaghetti...
