Good move !

Correct. Takes away the risk of lost time due to rain interruptions - a real threat over here. Happily though - this week we are having a heatwave. Incidentally, it sure was weird watching that late-night Murray cliffhanger yesterday, wrapping up just before bed time.

Sorted.

Totally agree, SS1. The Jackson 5 certainly hit the UK like a bolt of lightning - they came from nowhere and next thing you know they have their own cartoons on the TV. Around the time the Harlem Globetrotters had their own cartoon show too I think.

Looking at the posters in the background, a political animal too.

Best Wishes !

One of those fancy pumpernickel and sunflower breads? it was called "urbrot" (ancient bread?), and seems to be a pretty ordinary bread with rye, tastes excellent though, bought much older bread at the full price elsewhere often enough, no idea why it was priced so high (actually never went to that store because it looked like an expensive place from the outside but they got this nice box with vegetables that still look half-decent, today i got broccoli for 1 euro a kilogramm and it's even organic...) Nice ! I'm a late rye bread convert. Much more nourishing than most of the wheat-based stuff you get here and very, very good for the blood sugar level - but it takes a while to get used to the taste (very heavy to the typical English palate). The final straw for me was when I started noticing the sweetener they add to much of the packaged 'white' bread in the shops. You can even buy German brot in the supermarkets here now - something unthinkable 20 years ago. Maybe the Polish immigrants here initiated the demand? Whatever - gets a from me. Sorry for the deviation...

Oliver Nelson Argo/Verve/Impilse Studio - disk 4. The 'Kennedy Dream session' Next up - Charles Tolliver Select. I'll be spinning a few Mosaic CDs this week as vinyl is currently completely out of action.

Anyone here in the UK see his performance last night at Glastonbury on BBC4? Pretty impressive - although I'm no great fan.

RFH Conservatory, 'Jazz Britannia'. Yeah, I was there too ! A couple of blackbirds singing away before bedding down for the night. Awesome. That's the one...though it was The Barbican. Apologies for the pedantry! No, of course - The Barbican. Since when did the RFH have a Conservatory? Wimpey Homes gone mad..

Saw Asaf Sirkis just a few weeks ago at Bath - as part of Dan Stern's group. Excellent drummer !
