A dreary grey Monday morning here. At least it’s not raining! I haz coffee!


Easy Like Sunday Morning

Been awake since soon after 6 am. Slept well, though, which makes a whole lot of difference to how you feel first thing. Enjoying a large mug of coffee right now.


A Sunny Saturday

It’s been a bright, sunny day here, but it’s cold outside. It was around freezing point first thing this morning, and it’s only crept up to 43°F all day. It won’t get any milder than that now, as sunset is in about an hour at around 5 pm.

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.
