Scenes...




...and Anne's boat gets better with every session...


I went against the grain and worked this morning - completing the final mixes of the four main tracks of "Gewitter", out October 7th...  

Meanwhile, catch up here...

...and, like 2021, the year will close off with a "best of" re the releases this year "Twentytwentytwo: The Originals", and, finally, a round up of unreleased stuff, remixes etc etc "Twentytwentytwo"...

Busy...

With everywhere shut and terrestrial TV completely dominated by the laying to rest of Queen Elizabeth the Second, I took the opportunity of a quiet Monday to do some “rejigging”…

Having already separated out all digipak/non conventionally housed CDs from my classical and jazz collections, I decided the time had come to do the same for my rock, pop, funk, reggae stuff - i.e. all non jazz/classical...


After 2 hours, it probably looked no different to the untrained eye...



...and 3,000 CDs remained to be gone through...

Lunch time...

In the afternoon, another 2.25 hours spent on this...

 Again, to the untrained eye, little evident change. But, a further 2,000 CDs had been sifted through and sorted, so, 1,000 still to do…





"Elementary" and a chicken pasta tea...


On "University Challenge", week 4, annoyingly, shown 30 minutes ahead of schedule due to the Queen nonsense, forcing us to find it on iPlayer, we managed our top score so far - 145 - last week it was 115 and we hit 130 on each of the first two programmes...

Also tonight, the return of "Professor T" enjoyed...

As was our bed by he inevitably visiting Fang...


The wee man - we love him to bits...

Even though he continues to occasionally attack us...

OK - off to bed, hoping all the pish about the Queen is finally over...

Highlight of the Day : Not watching a funeral...
