2021 over...

A picture a day...

Up...

...and releasing the new LP into the wild...

Niko was up to his usual tricks...

Mia was as calm as usual...

A new year's eve task, writing up the red books of CDs I own...

Tasty lasagne for tea...

"Dad's Army" (the film from 1971) enjoyed...

...followed by the final of the alumni "University Challenge" - won by Edinburgh...

Our scores for the alumni series...

Average 151...

Not bad at all...

The cats were cuddling...

...and then relaxing as we moved towards midnight...

Another year over...

Jools Holland's "Hootenanny" was as awful as ever but a few other things were recorded to enjoy next year...

Highlight of the Day : The end of 2021...

Catrobatics...

Second last day and presents accidentally left behind on Xmas Day enjoyed after having arrived here yesterday...

Niko was as inquisitive and restless as ever...

Having settled on my LPs of the year for 2021, the next poll is 1964...

Some research done and the fifty or so I had now increased to these 75 nominations...

Meanwhile, Niko was excelling himself today...

...while Mia just looked on...

Another walk down to the town, included a stop in a nice unpictured cafe which had been closed the other day - coffee and cake/scone enjoyed...

Stopped off at the new record shop on the way back - these for £10...

...the final CD purchases of 2021...

Gin and tonics enjoyed this evening...

More good scoring on "University Challenge"...

Niko finally settled for the evening...

...while our enjoyable French thing, "The Hook Up Plan" continued...

One day to go...

Lights out...
