I’ve got a Denon AVR S670H. I cannot get any ‘Roon Ready’ option to come up in setup and the Receiver is telling me that the firmware is up to date. It works via AirPlay, but then it’s not bit-perfect!!

Why am I wide awake at 2.25am?

Wide awake at 2.30 am with an adjacent snore monster

Today is the 59th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster when 144 people, 116 of them children, lost their lives when the village was buried by a slag heap from a coal mine.

To check up on my Crohn’s Disease, I am sent for an MRI every year or so. I know it’s good to get checked but I hate it. I have to drink a litre of some foul-tasting liquid first. It’s full of artificial sweetener of some kind, none of which I can abide. Then I have to lie face down on the MRI bed contraption, with my arms stretched out above my head. I have rheumatoid arthritis in my shoulders, which makes it worse, and then I have to lie still for thirty minutes while the equipment and the operator do their thing. By the time I’m done they haveto help me off the bed, as I cannot move my arms!

I would rather have a colonoscopy. Yep. I said it, I meant it.

Today was Transport Fest at Brooklands, where the London Bus Museum is situated. The weather was a bit crap but I got a good batch of photographs

I’m a coffeholic but even I have limits. I’ve had five large Americanos so far today, so on my break, I opted for a cup of tea to go with a slice of carrot cake.

Poking around in the rabbit hole that is Roon, I found a new album from Tame Impala, an Australian band. Deadbeat is the title, and it’s definitely worth a listen. It’s available on Tidal, Qobuz, and probably other streaming services too.

Never ending days of grey. Is not cold but some nice warm sunshine would be great #weather

Why?

Ten hour shifts this week.

I get up, get ready and go to work. I c come home, eat a meal, chill will some music or a You Tube video and then go to bed. That’s the routine for the week until Sunday.

Pretty mundane really. Still I’m off Sunday and I’m looking forward to that.

Mind you, it could be. Same long work day, same dreary grey weather. Summer has definitely gone until next year.

Thought I’d give this protein drink a try. I’ve had their regular kefir, and they don’t full those products full of crab or sugar or sweeteners.

No come on, don’t be filthy, you lot.

We don’t have a TV in the bedroom, but we do have a stereo pair of Apple HomePod Minis, and they are surprisingly good for their size.

Being were an Apple household we can throw music and other audio all around the house and I was doing that with Roon this evening.

Miles Davis is a great listen but not conducive to sleep!

Jazz Cinema Paradise from The Tokyo Cinema Jazz Band.

It’s a collection of files on my A&K SR35 Hi-Res Player and I can’t find a link to anywhere online

I’m halfway through the working day. Having a break, which means #coffee, of course.

The day is still grey and dreary, although my mood is slightly lighter as it’s nearer to going home time.

This time of year isn’t my favourite. We’re heading towards darker evenings, shorter days, less sunshine and colder temperatures.

Still, the coffee is hot and good, as it always is here. Almost as good as making it at home!

Listening to a techno podcast while travelling on the bus to work - unlike some assholes, I’m wearing head phones!

A grey dreary day. Matches my mood really. Ten hour shifts this week which means I leave the house soon after eight in the morning and get back about eight in the evening.
