The end of April, most of which appears to have been updated in May...

So far behind but trying my best...

Here, the days of April...

Up early this morning - when am I not?

Views from the back room...

Listening today included the new mixes of the song retrospective being planned...

Re 1997, my initial 100, previously whittled to 75, 50, 30 and 20 received its penultimate whittle and, this morning, stood at the (or, rather, my - you all have your own, of course) Top Ten. Who was still with me, as we headed to tomorrow's final 5?  Not many...

Lunch...

Squirrel...

So cute - I wish the squirrels would come into the house and allow us to pet them...

...but they would, of course, destroy everything...

Tea...

This evening, to podcasting...

Saved myself 30 minutes work by using 4 turntables instead of two - but I needed to up the concentration levels to avoid the (almost inevitable) botch ups...

I didn't...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Podcasting...

Playing the white...

Up and "Sparklemusik" has stretched now to the equivalent of 12 CDs...

The sky...

The work...

The breakfast...

Once again, whittled my 1997 LPs - now down to just 20...

This afternoon, decided to give my latest LP acquisition a spin...

Enjoyable...

As was Anne's Kerala curry...

Much of the evening spent working out arrnagemnts for "Heroes" and "The Number One Song in Heaven" for the band, editing togetehr the correct versions using Sunday's recordings...

Followed by a quiet close to the day...

Til tomorrow...

Highlight of the Day : Anne's curry...

Return of the clever crow...

Up in the middle of the week...

Views...

Coffee...

...and the return of the clever crow - this time captured in action...

Meanwhile, my 1997 LPs were cut down to the top 30...

...while much of my listening today were the first 100 LPs of the day of 2021...

Fish pie, with peas, of course, for tea - yum...

...followed by some remixing work on the recordings from 2017 and 2019 which will be on "Silversongs"...

...while Fang visited yet again...

A reasonable day...

Highlight of the Day : Capturing the intelligent work of the crow...

Displaced by a slasher...

Cloudland Blue Quartet - Silversongs 1996-2021 (Remakes)

Up late - Tuesday...

Pre breakfast skies...

...as I worked on the two 25 year retrospectives which may emerge in June...

"Silversounds" will be remixes of soundscape tracks released 1996-2021, while "Silversongs" will be remakes of songs released over the same first 25 years of Cloudland Blue Quartet...

This work was followed by toast and eggs...

...while lunch was salad...

...and tea was a lovely prawn stir fry...

..and Fang decided to like us once again...

...so much so, he stole the Exec Producer's seat...

...he is a good we thing by which to be displaced...

...although, of course, some slashing took place before his exit...

It is the way of the Fang...

Highlight of the Day : Fang visiting for a good long time...
