Boxing Day! Which we probably prefer. It seems a lot more relaxed. The Xmas day pressure is off for everyone, hopefully. Have a lovely day.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky A lovely Xmas present. The three CD plus surround DVD of this, one of my all time favourite albums.

Evil Under The Sun on BBC 2. A great fun adaptation, Ustinov is a great twinkle in the eye Poirot, Maggie Smith and Diana Rigg are brilliant sparring with each other, and Roddy McDowell who as usual never knowingly under-acts. Highly enjoyable.

It certainly is Nick. We had a wander down the road to the beach. Blooming cold but lovely. I hope you are having a great day. Take care.

Due to a cock-up with my timing, we had Christmas dinner 30 minutes early! So we off for a walk now. It's a beautiful day on the South Coast, we need some sea air!

I'm afraid that opening his stocking has got to much for Oliver. Catnip overdose!

What a wonderful story and what a marvellous couple. A tear or two has been shed! BBC News - We invited a man into our home at Christmas and he stayed with us for 45 years www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yes we are up. 5 days off but still woken up at the same time as I have for the last month for work! Or just excited to see what Santa has brought! Anyway Merry Christmas to other early birds.

I've recently seen the error of my ways and subscribed to Backlisted and Inventory. I urge you to do the same if you enjoy high quality talking and writing as much as I do. It's just the best.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #FolkSky I say bring back the twofer album! Always a bargain.

That's it, 5 days off now. And thank you for your kind messages yesterday after I'd had a bit of a bad day on Monday. Everyone was in excellent spirits today on the round, and it was a pleasure being out there. But bloody cold! Merry Christmas.

Back at the RM office waiting for the stragglers to come back. Then I can start Christmas!

I've thoroughly enjoyed dipping into this tonight. Some brilliant reviews and writing. But this 4th edition is 18 years old!

#NowPlaying #MusicSky I've seen some sniffy reviews of (the other) PSB over the years. But I love them. They're fun, clever, at times moving, brilliant live and their heart is definitely in the right place. This is a classic IMHO.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #JazzSky I'm absolutely loving this.

#NowWatching Denholm Elliott gives one of the great performances in this ever, I think.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky I can't play Tangerine Dream all evening. So I'd thought I would play probably the complete opposite!

#NowPlaying #MusicSky These Tangerine Dream albums are very moreish!

#NowPlaying #MusicSky The cleaning of the 'T's continues, specifically Tangerine Dream albums. Another classic from them.

Some excellent finds at the car boot this morning. #CDs

#NowPlaying #MusicSky The #Humminguru has spent the day cleaning Tangerine Dream albums and this dark, sinister and spacey album is one of my favourites.

#NowWatching #ChristmasGhostStories

This is why we will beat F**age and his far right cronies. And yes I'm an optimist, a misguided one possibly but still an optimist.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #FolkSky Car boot, big shop and present wrapping all done. So it's definitely time to settle down with this absolute classic.

In Sainsburys! #ThoughtsAndPrayers

The sun breaking through over the 'picturesque' Brighton Marina.

PSA. The best sitcom to film adaptation (along with the Likely Lads) is on BBC 2 at 6. The Porridge film is a treat from start to finish.

#NowWatching Certainly the slimest of the Christmas Ghost Stories. Michael Bryant is perfect as another M. R. James academic who driven by hubris (and possibly greed) won't recognise warning signs.

#NowWatching Celia at her most stalwart and Margaret Leighton at her most brittle. A fabulous Xmas film.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #JazzSky I'm still sticking with the more well-known Jazzers as I go on this musical journey. But I'm probably going to want some help in the new year to find some more under the radar stuff. Watch this space.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky As recommended by @iammilliam.bsky.social who basically forced me to buy it. Of course he's right, it's amazing. Hunt out a copy ASAP.

It is not nice* out delivering today. *A technical term posties use.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #FolkSky One of @nportnell.bsky.social favourite new to him records of year I believe. Bought two copies of this. A reissue which is great and this original, which is out of this world.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky The Light In The Attic reissues of Lee Hazelwood were without exception fantastic. Worth keeping an eye out for.

#NowWatching Probably my favourite of the Christmas Ghost Stories. #NoDiggingEre

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #ZTT Another super new version of this amazing album.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #PostRockSky Though by all accounts they don't like the term Post-Rock.

#NowWatching Our favourite Scrooge. Finney is seedy and totally without any redeeming features. The songs aren't bad, in fact 'Thank You Very Much' is a banger. Very enjoyable.
