Friday On My Mind
But not yet! Just woke up at 1 am! Wide awake now. Grr
Here is a photo of some cheesecake
Another Grey Day
Thursday, and it’s dry outside, and currently 49°F. The sky looks like it could rain soon, but it’s looked that way since daybreak.
I’ve finally finished sorting out my local audio file library, so that albums will display correctly in Roon. My private journal is up to date, and I’ve had coffee and even some breakfast.
I think I will go and read a book for a while, right after I make myself another mug of coffee.
Wednesday
I am sitting in my living room, and upstairs, and soon, the kitchen is in upheaval as I have ceilings replaced and then painting done. It will be great when it’s all finished, though.
Another Monday
Up early, got some emails sorted. Took a quick trip to Costco, grabbed a few items. Had a hot dog on the way out.
My Saturday So Far
I’ve kept off social media today. It can be such a time waster really, and often you’re shouting in the wind.
I’ve been sorting out my music library. Over the years, I have amassed a large collection of digital audio. That’s alongside the vinyl I’ve been buying for over 50 years. I’ve ripped many of my CDs so I can listen to them remotely. I’ve also purchased hi-res audio. I’ve got quite a few thousand audio files now. I need to keep them organised or else I can’t find anything! I’ve spent several hours on that today.
Six hours, and I’ve had enough for today. I’m about to cook dinner anyway, and listen to a few of those tunes, with a beer,
This Evening's Listening
Sitting on the sofa with my wife, listening to some new jazz albums, including the January 2026 release of Stars from Martin Wind.
Update Morning
So 26.3 is out. So I shall spend the next hour updating all the devices here. M4 Pro Mac Mini, M3 MacBook Air, two M1 iPad Pros , two Apple watches, two Apple TVs, four iPhones.
Convalescence
I got a doctor’s note today. I have seen my surgeon for a post-operative follow up and everything is healing as it should, but I still have some discomfort when turning my head, and I don’t want to undo any of the healing process. My doctor has given me another three weeks off work, so I will use this time to get slowly back into things. I feel fine in myself, except for the head-turning, but that is getting better as each day passes.
Photography & Beer
I decided to go out for a walk, and take some photographs.
As I was near to the Queen’s Head, my local pub, I thought it would be rude if I didn’t call in for a pint or two.
The Fuller’s ESB is always in top condition, and today was no exception.
