Saturday - the stuff awaited but, in the end I did not do anything with it...



A late post for #CDFRiday - a wee selection form my various artists compilations - I did not listen to any of these recently...


A stool was required to re file them post pic...


The Necks very much enjoyed first thing...






...and there were some matches to be checked on later...

Queens facing top of the league Stenhousemuir...


They will win 2-1...

The weekend was here..


Top poached eggs from Anne...


...and, later, some nice music while I "tidied"/filed...


Also today, compiled my Top 40 of 2024 (alpha order)...



...and my Top 40 of LPs that made the UK Top 100 during 2024...



Therefore, these are the 7LPs where my taste, and that of the general UK public, crossed paths in 2024...

The Cure
Elbow
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Grandaddy
John Grant
Pet Shop Boys
Taylor Swift

Later on, I also perused The Wire's top 50 of 2-24...

I had this 16...


...and, on listening to their suggestions, I nabbed these three today...



Anne relaxed...


A BlueSky exchange on this Record Shop, Mod Lang, in Ludlow, which we visited in October 2018...


...where I bought this Parliament Box Set...

Must give it a wee spin soon....


In fact, I'm typing this on Tuesday and have just put it on...


Anyway, also noted my 3 speaker system in the back room has broken down...

Some repair prep by photographing the back of the amp...


But nothing done...

I had wanted to go out today while Anne played Pickleball but she reminded my it was a Saturday close to Xmas, so that was postponed till tomorrow...

This evening, the "Strictly" final - there was only ever going to be one result...

People had been on a journey...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Queens beating the league leaders...
