Scenes...






I had an idea for new "Disquietmusik" creations, where in I'd combine pieces from different editions from the series, where the underlying key was the same...

So that passed a couple of hours - with no concrete results...

Post breakfast, trying out three songs for next week's Ouit of the Bedroom, "Callingstill" (1997), "A Nice Job in  Small Town" (1999) and "If I Fall" (2012)...

Not bad...

Post lunch and a "Monk" (cos Prime wouldn't load for "Almost Paradise"), down the hill with Anne to GuitarGuitar for a new set of strings...


Then, with the EP off to do stuff re her mum (hearing appointment), I hit paydirt at the Shelter shop with this quartet - 15 hours of music across 13 CDs, for just £10...





Yowsah!

Bread was also secured...


Home for listening...



...and re-stringing my almost 10 year old guitar - I suspect this is only the second or perhaps third set of strings I've applied to the instrument - which is an absolute shocker of course...



Cleaned up and looking good but some clipping required...


The view from the office this afternoon...



This evening, tagliatelle with prawns and asparagus...




Yum...

The last two (thus far) of "Almost Paradise" leaves another hole...

But "Monk" continues to entertain...

However, the majority of the evening was spent ripping today's new acquisitions...

Lights out with a BlueSky suggested Roy Harper "Lifemask" listen...

Highlight of the Day : New strings...
