Thursday and, once again, I'm five days behind - where is my discipline?

It's probably out in the garden...

...and then off to Lidl for some lovely croissants...

Perhaps...

I looked through my diaries for 1981 and 1982 trying to find the first ever 5-a-sides match, of what is now, 40 years later, MBFives - in which I, as the sole remaining original player, am referred to as Dave GF (Dave the Godfather)...

Turns out, it was Friday 9 July 1982...

(Pic will be added shortly)

Also found that, quite coincidentally, on this very day, 40 years ago, I bought the then latest Alice Cooper LP, "Zipper Catches Skin"...

32 minutes of fun...

I still have it...

...and I played it...

Out with Anne for some mooching around the shops - she had a token from M&S...

After visiting two of their branches, Anne emerged with a gillet and your correspondent had snaffled not one but two new jackets...

Previously owned coats and jackets were discarded to make way for the new acquisitions - makes a change from CDs and books...

We also bought some nice German bread, cheese and salami for a different branch of Lidl than the croissants one...

A tasty lunch ensued, along with, of course, some "Elementary"...

In the afternoon, working on the setlists for Sunday's proposed rehearsals - much playing back of old stuff...

This evening out as guest of old work chum Sam to a dinner at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society...

Much beer was enjoyed but the whisky, not so much...

Good chat into the late evening and then a bus home - direct route thwarted at the last moment by diversions...

...and so, an Airport bus from Shandwick Place...

...to the zoo, a pick up from Anne and straight to bed, slightly the worse for wear...

A good day nonetheless...

Highlight of the Day : New jackets...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

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!
