Ten past seven and the room awaits...




Writing this...


...and then compiling the "sweep up" album for Hogmanay release and the "best of" from the last 12 months for Xmas Day release...

...all that pre breakfast...



Then, preparing the next in the series of Creek reissues for release on Friday...


At the rate of one per month it will be August 2025 until this project is finished...

Anne's cat painting will be more speedy methinks...


At 12:30 along to World of Football for today's games...


A 2-2 draw, both goals from me, a 2-1 loss, our goal from me and a drubbing of around 6-2, no goals from me...

But now my knees are "away to buggery" again and so tomorrow's participation has been cancelled - a replacement successfully secured...

Home for tasty home made carrot and coriander soup...


Computer playing silly buggers so i closed my eyes and pulled out an LP to play - magnificence from Sparks from 1979...


Then, decided to play some singles from the first tow of the five boxes of the nine hundred and twenty one 7"ers I have left (see playlist above)...

Box 1...













Box 2...

















An enjoyable two hours flew by...

One day I'll do boxes 3, 4 and 5...

Meanwhile Anne was preparing a chili with rice...

Around 2 hours in the making and probably fewer than 10 minutes to polish off...


Yum...

An episode of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" followed by a pathetic 80 at "University Challenge" - too much science frankly - we only managed one starter question but got 14 bonuses...

Back upstairs to finish off the night, enjoying this cracker from 1973...


Then, a quick listen to the compilations compiled this morning and some upcoming Creek tracks...

Also today, this from Mixcloud...

"On 1st December all of your shows will remain published and available to listeners. But, if you want to make space for a new show, you will need to manually move shows into drafts until you are within the allowance".

The allowance is 10 shows...

I have almost 600...

My first thought was to just leave all my shows up but put new shows on WeTransfer with the individual MP3s as part of the download bundle but, having discussed with webmeister Craig, I think I'll leave my 9 top listened to shows up and replace the latest one every week.  Either that or just have the latest 10 showing...

Then...


Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Playing old records...
