Up late again...


Scenes...


Alice Cooper based - 50 years this week since "Killer" was released...


One of the Puffin mugs has been relegated to my shelf due to the appearance of a crack...


Oh well..

Before breakfast, Anne was making soup...



A full on day of WFH...

Soundtrack was, initially, an equivalent of 10CD set re ECM's 83 single streamable tracks from all their releases on Bandcamp...

Then, post breakfast, "Rare Earth In Concert". re a poll on whether or not they were better than Grand Funk...

Taylor Swift's excellent new 10 minute single...

A couple of things from 1990...

Selections from my LPs of the day for 2021 so far...

Oh and confirming just how fairly dreadful The Beatles "White" album actually is in the cold light of day...

Late afternoon, this the view...


...this the accidental view...


WFH till 6:30 then a quick change...


...donned my Adidas Sambas and off to the 5-a-Sides...


Once again I was rubbish but, this week, my team won by two goals - so that was good...

A very close game which, due to no-one coming to chuck us out, lasted for nearly an hour and a half...

You can imagine how my legs felt at the end of that - even having spent long periods in goal...

Home and soup and melon at nine...


Not at the same time though...

Some TV watched and then, around 10:30, upstairs and set the gear up to record this year's "Disquietmusik" album...

The fifth in the series which commenced back in 2017...

It's Frippertronics, baby...

I did five pieces, clocking in at a total of around 42 minutes - plus two things that broke down after a minute or so...



Time for bed but, before that, quickly added the as yet untreated WAV files to iTunes and onto the iPod for overnight listening...

And so, soon, there will be five...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day: Footballing and creating...
