It was a good year...

Then, compiled my Top 50, 30, 20, 10 and 5 for 1983...

Then, listening to my top LP of that year, Eno's "Apollo" and reading about it and listening to the additional LP created in 2019...


Lunchtime - soup and a sandwich once again...


And watching the new series of "Jack Ryan" - up to the standards of the first 2 seasons which we enjoyed in lockdown...

Anne went to take her mum to the hairdresser once again and I did some filing re the CDs displaced from the living room shelf by the Glasgow purchases...

Then to trying to compile this week's podcast - I still haven't decided on the format or length...

And the tracks for inclusion are piling up of course re all the new stuff coming in...

Also updated this for the start of the year and, as ever, from now, will try and keep it up to date daily...

We'll see how that goes...

Listening too to new demos from Blue Sun Chasing - he has asked me to proffer my opinions thereon...

Anne returned - a present from nephew Andy in the boot of the car...


Salmon and roast potatoes with carrots for tea...

Some TV and some listening...

Two of my LPs of 2019...



Also noting on Twitter more top notch photos from the man who took the one of the sun the other day...

The International Space Station between us and the moon - the craft is 1,000 times closer to the Earth than the moon and the crater behind it is 53 miles across...



Amazing...

Later on, "Knives Out : Glass Onion" very much enjoyed, followed by an old episode of "What We Do in the Shadows" then off to bed...

A good day, all told...

Highlight of the Day : Knives Out probably...

Today's new music:-
