It cannot remember the previous time I listened to all four sides of Moonflower by Santana, but I should do it more often— it's rather good!

It seems my tender has been rejected because I turned up wearing my Everton-blue T-shirt! 🔵⚪️🔵

I was in Liverpool, so decided to pop up to Anfield and drop off my tender to update their Champions Wall at the end of the season. I expect to be the lowest cost, but I may be in trouble if they are not stick-on numbers.

First time at the cinema to see a National Theatre Live production (filmed live recording): Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. Really good; I'll be back for the next one, Steve Coogan in Dr Strangelove

Covers of the first four Led Zeppelin albums

Doing my homework before going to see "Becoming Led Zeppelin" at Wetherby Cinema later today. I might even continue the rock 'n' roll lifestyle with fish 'n' chips at The Wetherby Whaler afterwards.

En route to The Leeds Playhouse; first theatre trip in a while… looking forward to a bite to eat and then The Merchant of Venice — 1936. Seems apt in current times.

Thoroughly enjoyed Dr Georgina Wilson’s fabulous talk — Why Making Books Means Reading Differently — this evening at Thin Ice Press: the York Centre for Print.

Album cover of Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited

Enjoying the landmark “Highway 61 Revisited” after seeing the excellent “A Complete Unknown” at Wetherby Cinema — both of which see the completion of Bob’s 1965 electric pivot! Favourite Track? Probably “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues”

Whilst it is not my main router I still use my Airport (cannot remember the full name of the tower version) to provide a wireless and always on Time Machine backup for my vintage MacBook Air.

When, when will the icicle melt? #ListeningTo No Need To Argue by The Cranberries which I must've originally bought on CD in the 1990s — I had forgotten how much I love listening to to the sound of Delores O'Riordan

Some autumnal (aka fall) colour (aka color) from my walking today on a beautiful day (and reprieve) from the rain.
