Up late again...

Made notes again...

Xmas cards before I took them all off to put my additional since Xmas CDs on the shelf...

Xmas cards after I took them all off to put my additional since Xmas CDs on the shelf and then put them back...

Having done so, there was then some filing to be done in the back room...

I analysed the list of LPs voted for by the contributors to The Wire Magazine as their LPs of the year and ended up downloading 13...

I had only 3 of their Top 30 already in the collection...

Gave the new arrivals a cursory listen...

Then, breakfast...

Did some listening to my own annual Top 20s...

Fang visited...

Shortly after this calm scene, he slashed Anne's hand as she tried to pile clothes close to his then perch...

Consequently, he was chased from the premises...

On Twitter someone posted this pic of the Earth in perspective to the Sun...

The sun is, indeed, big...

Time for lunch, which was accompanied by 2 episodes of the 10 in the new series of "Emily in Paris"

Anne took her mum to the hairdresser while I pottered around at home - then they popped back here for a coffee and biscuit...

Mary noted the pic we have on our window ledge of her, Andrew and sone Keith...

I took a pic of the pic and made it look a little better...

It was developed in December 1960...

 ...so Keith would have been 1 year old in the photograph...

Later, I added all the pics of my Top 20s to the "Recommended Listening" page of the website...

This evening included today's Xmas "University Challenge" and a "Black List" and more mucking about with music by me...

That was it I think...

Highlight of the Day : New music form The Wire...
