Tuesday...

First thing, redoing all the tracks from yesterday, with the cleaned up vocal - and switching the new version of the initial one in the podcast before uploading and releasing...

Enjoyed it throughout the day...

An article on breakfast TV about Gall Bladders got me looking up the gangrenous kind - which I had in October 2015...

On reading up about this, I realised just how close I was to dying then...

Hmmm...

Good that I remained alive in order to file CDs...

Soundtracked by the first of these...

Men arrived to see to the window...

A screw was lost...

I left them to it to head over to my mum's - meeting with Sheila and a DJ who bought mum's ramps - a Christmas present in 2022 and, sadly, hardly ever used...

Took some pics for one last go at possible auction items...

Later on visited Rosewell...

No...

Oh yes...

No...

Oh yes...

No...

Oh well...

They said no...

What part of "no" don't you understand...

Up to Penicuik for lunch with Cobblers...

Tasty wrap/panini at Mosso Cafe...

Good chat about nearly dying and our ears and our mothers and music etc etc - and then back to his place...

He taught me the Australian Tim Tam Slam - bite off diagonally opposite corners of the biscuit - put one bitten end into your coffee and suck the coffee through the biscuit via the other then slam the whole thing into your mouth....

It was actually rather tasty...

He has new posters - Kandinsky...

..and Joan Miro...

...with apologies for the not great recording thereof...

And Stu played me some Folk Implosion - who he saw on Saturday night with Count Brodski...

Back home (via Roswell - see above - it took an hour due to traffic) and more filing, soundtracked by the second of these...

Tasty tea - as Anne says, "you can't beat a Brussels Sprout"...

Tuesday cat...

Even more filing....

Soundtracked by this...

Not long to go now...

On telly today, we finished the "Moonflower Hotel" and continued with "Intelligence", finishing the first of three series...

Highlight of the Day : Out with Cobblers...

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!
