Awoke to the mighty Uriah Heep...

...and decided to redo their "Choices" box set, removing all the doublers and putting the featured tracks into chronological order...

This is how I waste my time but it was good...

Out with Anne to her mum's for a few errands and then into the office to do more stuff for her...

Then, round to Fopp and made a few purchases and noted a few other things...

This for example...

I've had the 92 track digital version for nearly 3 years and never gotten round to adding the names of the artists on each track...

So I did that this afternoon...

I swithered about this but in the end put it back - yep, turns out I already have it...

Almost bought this...

...and was intrigued by this...

I sampled them all later...

On the way home, stopped off at Rustom to book a table for next Monday for a lunch with fellow ex-colleagues Yuill, Raymond and Bernie...

Heep soundtracked the bus journey home...

...and up the hill...

Anne was off out doing Pilates...

I sat in the back room listening to my purchases...

I am awake here but was to be found, later, asleep...

...in the blazing...

...sun...

Moved through to the computer and started the rip process and brought the book of CDs I own up to date, adding the latest 33...

In the evening, baked potatoes were followed by "Monk" x 3...

And bed...

Highlight of the Day : Listening to CDs...

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!
