Wednesday and up reasonably early...

Welcome to the middle of the week...

We bought this at Museum Ludwig in Cologne in 1989.  It’s been on the wall for over 30 years...

Gotta love Andy!

...and here's Anne's latets, the cat...

Another day begins...

Breakfast...

With Anne off to Zumba, Whatsapp conversations with Creeker Craig ensued re Mixcloud limiting shows to ten, possible new laptops etc etc...

We also talked about the continual glitches and hanging and general buggeringaboutery from iTunes and Craig suggested I try MusicBee again (I have done so in the past)...

This made me resolve to bring MusicBee up to date as a possible player of choice...

So I opened it up again...

There seemed to be a lot of records for which the artwork was not pulled through from iTunes...

Didn't take long to do a page or so...

...and, another page or so...

This updating of artwork continued almost all day...

At lunchtime, Anne was back from Zumba and advised the TV wouldn't go on...

Jeez oh...

After much mucking about, to no avail, we bit the bullet and headed to PC worls...

A suitable replacement was found and home we came...

Still the MusicBee/iTunes buggery continued...

Setting up the new TV was infinitely simpler...

Meanwhile, ecerty track on iTunes was being scannned to see if it was in MusicBee...

A necessary evil...

Further excellent news in the afternoon as Anne headed to do some shopping...

Puncture...

The spectre of having to shell out for two new tyres (cos, you know, if one goes you "really ought to" replace the one on the other side from it)...

Success on a plate though as Kwik Fit advised they could repair the hole (made by a nail probably in Durham, Cambridge or Lincoln) for £25 or so...

Result...

Teatime...

..and the last two episodes of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds"...

...and a good LP...

Meanwhile, MusicBee seemed to be working nicely...

And then , out of the blue, loadsa artwork just disappeared...

I was raging...

So I clicked "all" and asked it to update the artwork for anything that was missing...

And off it went...

I could see it was going to take all night and so, went to bed leaving it to it...

So time consuming but, hopefully, will be worth it...

Highlight of Day : New TV, despite the outlay...
