Thursday and late up...

This morning I started on a new canvas, my first physical artwork for a few years now...

Initially, blue...

We'll see...

and the final push re the reconstituting of the 1972-1988 LP collection got me down to just 16 missing items, none of which I seem to be able to find anywhere so I guess that's that project taken as far as it can be...

This afternoon over to Bonnyrigg, via Loanhead...

The door-cleaning carried out last time has ben ineffectual...

Which is annoying...

Took the latest cards and presents from her home to mum...

...including a card sent to our house by Moira and Lex...

Noted in mum's Radio Times that this year's Xmas Special from "All Creatures Great and Small" is imminent...

Mum gave a thumbs up to this news...

I made her swear on Quintin Jardine that she would do her exercises everyday...

As ever, on the way home, after taking washing back to the house, the bypass was chocka...

I popped into the Gyle with a view to buying mum's Xmas present, having gleaned a few pointers from her during my visit...

Back out into the dark, empty handed after having consulted with Anne and agreed we would both return tomorrow morning...

Back home, Anne had been continuing with the latest hare...

Considerably better than my nonsense above...

Oh well...

This evening, a couple of "University Challenge" episodes (Xmas Alumni Specials) - including one where we scored 210, possibly our highest ever...

Later on, more work on the Nantes piece - I have promised to submit it by the weekend...

That was about it I reckon...

Highlight of the Day: Starting a new thing...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
