Up and perhaps work would be done in the back room today...



It's what Tuesday's are for...


It was, however, too early to start anything...



The sun was coming over the roof of the houses opposite...


...as it does...

Downloaded some new music (just for a change), well, old music, actually - Focus and Hawkwind sets - and gave it a listen...

Nice...

Anne was off out to see if her mum's house received any offers re its cosing date today...

It did indeed and they were good...

Now to see if all goes smoothly...

Hopefully...

Accordingly, I cooked my lunch - Penne Arrabiatta...



...which was a success, although the pic I took of the finished article got lost along the way...

A couple more episodes of the Russian robot thing "Better Than Us" were enjoyed...

Then to work at last in the back room...

Time to reinstate the third speaker, per Brian Eno's liner notes on the original LP edition of "On Land"...


...soundtracked by items from the newly reinstalled compilations rack...


This...


...and this...


Speaker in place and connected...


...and, of course, had to be tested with this...


...and , then, this...


...and this...


...and, finally this...


All good...

On Anne's return, more pasta for tea...

But, you know, I love pasta so that was just fine...

This time, Prawns, Peppers and Zuccini to the fore...




On telly tonight - I can't recall but ought to mention having watched and enjoyed the whole 3rd series of "Outlaws" recently...

OK, that'll do...

Jeez oh, two days ago and my mind's a blank...

No, wait, also today, I created another "Live Suite" - this time using pieces released between 1996 and 2005 - not bad - we'll see...

OK, lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Pasta and speaker...
