Lin and I are off today, but keeping a low profile in the house for maximum relaxation! 😀

We’re #nowplaying ‘A Song For All Seasons’, released in 1978 by Renaissance - their last great album before it all started to go south.

We knew the day after the hill climb would be a write-off for me, so planned for that. Instead it’s screwed me for near enough three days. NO REGRETS! Today we drove to the beach at Seilebost. The autumn high tides are receding and more sand is becoming visible. Happy days. ♥️ #WesternIsles #IsleOfHarris #Seilebost #Photography #Photo

Eight months later, and with a few hundred records having moved on, you’d think this restructure would be done by now. Far from it. It’s going to take until the end of the year and possibly another couple of months beyond that. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪

Obligatory “the #ChristmasTree is up!”photo for #Christmas2023.
Now it’s time to park my backside on the sofa, and get stuck into a nice coffee and some tasty stroopwafels. ♥️

Sometimes I just want the hits.
#NowSpinning ‘Abba Greatest Hits Vol.2’, released in 1979. And I hope loud enough to piss off the abject twat across the road. So many fabulous songs … and ‘Rock Me’. I have such fond memories of this LP playing on my dad’s stereogram when I was a boy. ♥️

Ten months ago, ‘The Great Thin-Down’ began, and The Vinyl Constituency has been in a sorry state. Now, circa 400 LPs lighter, and just in time for Christmas, it’s completely sorted and, oh, I have an early Christmas gift from my wife! ♥️😀

It’s Lin’s birthday tomorrow, so, as is the tradition, my sister visited to wrap my presents for everyone (I’m shite at it). Then Lin and I went for our Christmas tree walk. Now it’s time for some lovely Christmas carols, nice coffee, and a Dairy Milk Orange. Perfect.

On a bit of a downer today, so lifting the spirits by #NowSpinning ‘Pink Floyds’ ‘The Wall’. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪
Anyway, the three consecutive tracks of ‘Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)’, ‘Mother’ and ‘Goodbye Blue Sky’ are particular favourites.

Five years later, I still think about Nana several times each day, especially on her birthday, and today - the anniversary of her death. She hit the big 100 then cashed in her chips before the sh*t hit the fan. As daft as a fox, bless her. ♥️

Grant Shapps, Secretary of State for Grifting (pictured below), is projected to lose his constituency seat to Labour by 18 points!!

However, roll your sleeves up, because we need to get to a 72 point lead to get rid of all four of him.

I'm continuing to sort through photographs today. These were taken in November 2016, when I was unboxing my collection of tat and setting up my Room of Many Things. I love the tv tie-in books of yesteryear, and the photos below show a small part of my collection.

Jeff Wayne’s ‘War of the Worlds’ is #NowPlaying, and it’s glorious.

Lin made us a phenomenal curry and we’re about to settle down to watch a film in our snug - my second favourite room in the house. Happy days. 🙂

‘First Utterance’ by Comus, first released in 1971 on Dawn, has had a recent reissue courtesy of Music on Vinyl and Sanctuary on limited edition (1000) clear vinyl. It’s #nowplaying and sounding deliciously mad.

If any of you fine people are on Instagram and even remotely interested, you can find me there too. The usual stuff - me dicking about primarily with #VinylRecords.

This is a terrific jangle-pop record - ‘Fairweather Friend’, released in January this year by The Umbrellas on Tough Love Records. This is the Trolley Blue limited edition - 88/300 representing!
No difficult second album here - it’s fantastic, and well worth picking up! ♥️😀

A couple of days ago I went to #Monorail in #Glasgow and this happened.👇🏻 It fair made a bad day much, much better, even if the train journey home was a bit fraught.

Why not improve your day with a Monorail haul!? Go on, go on! ♥️😀👏🏻
