OK so, for the first time in 25 days or so, some text - I'll be looking to write up those previous days over the next couple of weeks or so (hopefully)...

But for now, up, not that early...


A nice day in the offing but I wouldn't be going out...



The equipment was in place for rehearsing...


And, as is now the habit (and may well be until June 2023), a section of the CD collection was chosen at random...


Section 315, a box rock & pop from New Order to Nirvana...


...from which 3 albums were chosen...


Today, I chose discs to spin by Italians recording in Berlin, Niagara, experimental Finn, Anton Nikkila and some Mancunian alt-rock from Nine Black Alps...


For this "project", I’m trying to avoid anything I already know too well…

Meanwhile, 1971 was further whittled to a Top 20...


Later, a rainbow at the back was good...


My "ruined" jacket from Saturday was dry-cleaned.  Still kind of ruined but I suppose it'll do...


Around midday, Luna arrived for a week long stay while mum and dad, Gillian & Olly, head to Florida...



Further good skies in the afternoon as WFH continued...


Meanwhile, Luna had found a spot..


A call with sister Sheila and mum from the latter's room at her new place of recovery, Highbank Intermediary Care Home, where she is to receive physio and rehabilitation to get her back home asap...

A very tasty chicken casserole and mash from the EP for tea...


...was accompanied by Danish series "Rita", which we've been enjoying, firstly last week for one episode, then, came back to last night I think...

Also this evening, the inevitable stand off between poor wee, now outsider, Fang and Luna took place...


Luna eventually chased Fang off...

Hopefully he'll come back once Luna leaves...

We are now 131 days into 2022...

I've been choosing an LP a day for my podcasts and, of the 131 thus far, 100 are from 2022....

So, it could be said these are my top 100 LPs of 2022 (so far)...


...and these are my 19 LPs of the week thus far...


...and my 4 LPs of the month...


Revealed this list of proposed songs, 41 of which are new to the band, to Stu Cobley - he is kind of excited and looking forward to playing new stuff...


...but we'll see how the others feel...

Post "Brooklyn Nine Nine", 80 minutes of fun as I ran through the set for Saturday night - once again no singing, just playing...


Meanwhile, Anne had stolen Luna from Gillian & Olly...


Lights out tonight with Frankie boy...
