Up reasonably early...

Another week began, with the sounds of yesterday third choice from the daily section as I wrote this up - striving once again for some "diary discipline"...

1969 was whittled to 75...

The weather looked to be about to be good...

Daily Section No 65/432...

Section 393...

Classical Box sets from 20th Century music to Vivaldi...

I chose difficult stuff by United Instruments of Lucilin (featuring music by Francesconi, Maresz, Lenners, Farchamps, Vinao and Zinsstag); Dutchman Jeroen Van Veen's piano music; and Villa Lobos' complete string quartets...

Fang entertained but could not come in as I was not WFH today...

Which meant I was out and about at lunchtime, resulting in a small pile...

Comprising these...

A quid each (despite the price tags above), the Hoening still shrink wrapped..

Home on the bus - I'd almost forgotten how much I (don't) love the commute - although being soundtracked by the first of the three from today's daily section - better than anticipated - was a slight boon...

Two No 26's "due" but both 15 minutes away and over 30 people before me in the queue at the stop...

So, an airport nabbed and a walk up the hill...

Ripping and listening while prepping the baked potatoes with Anne at Pilates with Lynn...

Later, a new "McDonald and Dodds" followed by part 3 of "Sherwood" entertained...

Some of the Van Veen box on the nutphones before hitting the sack around midnight...

Reasonable...

Highlight of the Day : Murder mystery...

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
