Up and at 'em - it takes over an hour a day to do all the stuff I've set myself as early morning tasks...

The view from the office this morning...

Scenes from the back room...

Down for a coffee to keep me going...

Did a quick mix of a wee collaboration with the two new Edward Spark tracks and sent it over - a little slap dash to be honest and needs more work...

I will be Exec Producer on his new LP, of which his 2 new tracks are the start - I'll give some feedback tomorrow...

Also, some more downloading of old forgotten LPs...

Breakfast and shutdown...

At 9:30 down the road to the gym - noted a thing in Tesco Car Park...

Found out later, a 66 year old man had been run over and died at the scene despite the best efforts of all who attended, including an air ambulance...

Very sad indeed...

Put my toiling at the gym into perspective...

In...

Treadmill and...

Out...

At the nearby Cancer Research shop, I, probably foolishly, bought 4 classical LPs (eschewing Menuhin's Beethoven and Brahms concertos)...

...and, along the main street at the Cancer Research shop there, bought this box of Bread (albeit with one, easily replaceable via download, LP missing)...

...and this splendid Northern Soul collection...

£8 all in across the two transactions - not bad...

Home and listening to the LPs while finding two of the four to download pristine sounding versions - the background surface noise on the first of the four sounded like distant rainfall...

Listening was interspersed with lunch and the final "Chicago PD" of season 6...

Late afternoon, a visit to Mary - not understanding but seemingly enjoying the ice hockey...

Home and a video of good beers available cheaply from supermarkets - ah the old Lager Tours of the World...

More listening while Anne prepped tea...

I do always offer to help but am almost always advised to stand down...

I watched from afar, with Northern Soul in my headphones...

Yowsah!

Post tea, there was still some listening to be done but we did also watch the first three episodes of season 7 of "Chicago PD"...

Post dishes duty, I opted out of the Champions League highlights and ended the day with the Rameau record up in the back room...

Highlight of the Day: Some new old LPs...
