Up, to good skies...



..and to mag pies...


Slept in...


Podcast up - this the content...


Listening to this 2CD set this morning, led me to download works by as many of the eleven quartets who were involved, almost twenty years ago, as I could...


 I found six...

Mid morning, this arrived...


...but, rather than listening, we watched the last of "The Majorca Files"...

Outside, the snow remained...



...and a robin visited...


Took Anne to her mum's and visited Kitty to give her her birthday CD...

She could not work out how to open it...

This is the future...

In fact, this is now...

Oh well...

Back home and span the latest arrival...

There's a thing going on on Twitter just now about picking your 7 best albums of the 1990's...

There's some right dross turning up on my timeline thanks to that...

The decade seems to have been a Mecca for albums destined for charity shop bins across the country - at which even I, a charity shop record bin aficionado, would not look twice...

To help people out, I posted my favorite album of each month of the 1990's... 


That's better...

Also took some time this afternoon to change my "track a month" playlist to reflect the almost 100 changes I made recently to my albums of the month from May 1959 to date...

In the evening, a Chinese Takeaway from new place, Tang - tasty...

Then, "Death in Paradise" and several episodes of "Superstore" before hitting the sack..

Saturday gone...

Highlight of the Day : Chinese I think...
