Sunday and up early to write this up for yesterday...

News overnight from Count Brodski that Yukihiro Takahashi had died...

The people in the music business who are dying now are only 10 to 15 years older than us...

Sobering...

Anyway, in honour of Mr T, I upgraded my library of his music to the latest remasters...

His "Disposable Love" will always be a pop classic for me...

Meanwhile, the views from the office this morning...

Out around 12 to do my mum's shopping and pay her a visit to put it all away and a coffee and chat.  In reasonable fettle...

Home just before 3 for the arrival of John and Ali of Impossible Songs for a very welcome visit...

I forgot to take any pics during their stay, which included much entertaining chat and a superb meal prepped by the EP, tasty charcuterie and seafood starters with flatbreads, Keralan Chicken Curry with rice and bread for the main and rounded off with cheeseboard and biscuits...

Yumtastic...

Given the lack of pics, I requested one from our departed guests - and so, here are J&A back home this evening, in front of their print of "Morphinecodex"...

We didn't go OTT on the old drink front...

Wine for Anne and John, juice for Ali, lager for your correspondent

As we wound up for the day, I recorded this fine plant gifted to us by our guests...

...and the last thing at night views...

Highlight of the Day : A visit from John and Ali...
