  • Police Visit

    Just had the police here. My car was vandalised last night at about 9.30 pm. A flurry of teenagers ran into the drive and then set to banging on the car. A bin was overturned. Last night I rang the police to report it. This morning I had to call again to report it as…

  • New CDs

    Three new CDs purchased this week. It seems ages since I bought new music. Firstly Kate Rusby’s new CD The Girl who Couldn’t Fly. You know exactly where you are with the Barnsley Nightingale – maudlin songs of love and folly. Excellent for the winter nights. Then a copy of Jennifer Bate’s recording of Messiaen’s…
