Gaining momentum.

I'm realsising that time is catching me up and the church accounts are not ready for the Deanery meeting next Tuesdya. I have done everything up to the edn of April, but this involved not much more than copying my predecessors book-keeping records inot a spread sheet.
He stopped keeping books in April, and I have done 95% of June, but May looms.
There are so many unidentifiable transactions I fear for my time as I plough into it.
It needs to start tonihgt really so that momentum with that keeps going too.

Instead I'm doing this. And that.

Must note here too again the original sin that calls itself Alys Fowler.
So seldom do I find such a magnet, a face, a woman on a stairway. It's fascinating how my head is turned to the TV for the first time in years for one programme by the presence of one person. It must be my age.
I honestly can't remember the last time I noted a 'celebrity' favourite/Most Attractive? woman at all.
Sophie Ellis Bextor probably...

Alys - keep the glasses though. definitely. What is it about kooky girls??

ANyways, nuff said.

Having received no less than 15 albums in the past couple of weeks, I need to sit down, add up numbers and listen to some music.
Mostly Biosphere, by way of a change. Attracted to him by the opus that is 'Substrata', and my first indulgence of this new batch of material was tonight's exposure to 'Shenshou' for the first time.
An excellent follow up (2002?) - interpretation of Debussy, whose work itself would clearly appeal to me. Philip Glass failed to lead me to classic music 'proper', and short of Eric Satie, Frederick Delius and Jonathan Adams I have little interest in that genre.
Perhaps Biosphere is another door waiting to be opened.
Track 3 "Heat Leak" is utterly absorbing.

Trouble is, so too is this bloody Media Archive.

Found another half dozen pieces on line over the past few days. It goes like that - a dry season and a monsoon - including one longer interview with The Northern Echo.
I've been in touch with them to see about transcripts, scans, text files whatever, and their response has been positive so far. Sub-Editor Chris Lloyd himself interviewed Foxx and he's emailed me with some encouraging words, so we'll see what happens there.

And just tonight I thin kI may have found another Ultravox! gig. They are getting harder to find, but it looks as if there may have ben a few dates with Supercharge during 77.
I'm going to spend a bit of time tracking down the (alleged) Nottingham Uni gig I've just been made aware of (November 1977) and then I'll get into the May accounts.

Honest...
