Morning Tuesday morning...

Ideas running round my brain forced me to rise super early...

Work was being, and would continue to be, done...

Later, Xmas shopping for nephews etc etc...

Possible visit to my mum...

She does not need any more biscuits right now...

It was all go...


Throughout the day, it was weird how the speed of the internet changed...

These were taken within minutes of each other...




...and not one of them is up to the expected rate of around 32 download and 8 upload...

Anyway, post breakfast out for toys and books for small boys...


I sent this to niece Kitty re the hand slapping game we used to play...


A visit to my mum's on the way home - another nosebleed in the night but the doctor would shortly be visiting...

Later a call would advise via the doc that the bleeds are the result of an infection - aspirin stopped, anti-bios and steroids started...

Home to more work...


Better speeds...


Mostly trying to locate "missing files" which are, of course, not missing, merely not being pointed at correctly...

Fang popped by...


...and Anne's artwork progressed again...


Lunch...


...and, later this afternoon, an apple tart from Annie, thanks to Lynn's apple donation...



Much of today was also spent reinstating missing artwork, going through the files and listening to loads of stuff not heard for a long while - necessarily as, everything which was on the old C Drive cannot yet be played so I was restricted to stuff which was added to iTunes at outset, back in Septemeber 2013...

Which was, actually, very enjoyable indeed...

In all, of around 288,500 tracks in iTunes, only 20,134 were accessible today (2,100 LPs out of 19,450)...

But these beauties were all available...


Listening to parts of the four magnificent experiments in the box, I got to thinking that, even though it wasn’t actually King Crimson, this was the last truly “great” period of the band...

IMHO of course...

More speed - or rather, not speed...


...and then...



Weird...

Possible accidental album cover, re putting my phone on a window ledge...


Tasty prawn-based pasta for tea...


...followed by more tart...


In the football, England gave Wales a drubbing 3-0 to go through, joined, deservedly, by the Americans...

Netherlands await the USA and Senegal, England...

More work before bed...

Lights out..

Highlight of the Day: Anne's apple tart and her prawn pasta - certainly not the amount of missing music...
