Up early for release day as I had some last minute things to sort out...

Aha, it was today I was listening to a 2017 podcast...

More snow on this Friday morning...

The machines were fired up...

And, at 8am, the trio of Dusquietmusiks became a quartet...

...and indeed, my back catalogue, well back to 1996 anyway, was punted...

This was my sixth album of 2020...

And "Sparklemusik" the real song-based follow up to "Startlightnight", from 2012, is in the can, kind of...

Mid morning, Anne decorated the living room...

It's now officially, Xmas...

I'd been awoken by "snowthunder" but, this afternoon, it was like a monsoon...

To cheer us up, I decided to make scones...

Sadly...

...I made them too flat...

..and so, two together were required to impersonate a scone...

They were still yummy though...

Meanwhile...

Then, this arrived...

Interesting...

Prep for the podcast was carried out...

Anne was doing something far more worthwhile...

This rivalled the Omar Khayyam...

An accidental picture of the carpet was also accidentally created...

Not to worry...

Recorded the links for the podcast but not the thing itself and then watched Queen of the South lose 3-0 at home to Inverness Caledonian Thistle, live on the TV...

Booo...

Finished off the day by recording the first half of the podcast...

By which time a very satisfying number of purchases of the new LP and some from the back catalogue had rolled in on the Bandcamp...

Which was nice...

Friday gone...

Highlight of the Day : People buying my music...
