Racket out the back, racket out the front...

Playlist



Slept in...


"The Shelf", these days...


Good skies...


Second Monday of the year, already...


Writing this and listening to new things - finally finding the Elemental Mixes of "In the Wake of Poseidon", for example...

At 10:30, over to see Mary...



Good trees at the home...


Back for soup and open sandwiches and finished Season 3 of "Chicago PD", including a visit from Fang...



Message from the band - possible short performance at a birthday party in early March...

Anne off to Pilates...

Next box of CDs...


After last night's Barraque and reading the sleeve notes re Herbert Henck, I downloaded a wide selection of his stuff for future listening...

But, today, from the box above, I chose one of the sets of Bartok’s String Quartets...

Robert Fripp turned me onto these via his diaries, way back...

I have many renditions these days on CD and the hard drives, but this is the first set I bought, the Alban Berg Quartett on EMI, from 1987…

Superb!




A racket outside the back window...

A car having to be towed...




A racket outside the front window - children playing football...



Back at the back, the car was soon away...







Started the finishing of Season 1 of "Younger"...

Anne is ready to start Season 3...

She arrived home...

Baked potatoes for tea...

I continued watching until it was time for "University Challenge", Edinburgh trouncing Manchester - we only scored 60 - just 10 correct answers...

Upstairs to listen to the last two Yes LPs...


..and consider "good" live albums - chose these 20, all of which I have/used to have on LP back in the 70's/early 80s...



Wrote this and closed off the day with an episode of "Black Ops" - two to go...

Ahead of the game...

Highlight of the Day: Crimso, Bartok and Yes...
