Taking Stock

Ohhh, it's shaping up to be a busy little day today here! Lots of stock to prepare and wrap in twine. I have Anna Calvi up loud and the sunshine is beaming in through all the open windows! Love it! I'll give you a sneak peek later in the day!

Update..20 minutes later *** Just changed the music - Anna was doing my head in a little; now listening to Beirut.

*** Hold on, another 20 minutes later: I also had enough of Beirut (what does this pattern say about me...), so the new Kings of Convenience is on, ahh. Instant calm.

Diamond Find

One of Timothy O's and my favourite things to do at home is to prepare dinner or a long lunch listening to vinyls. Our record player actually lives in the kitchen amongst the wooden spoons and milk jugs!

Over the weekend we found some new additions to add to our finely curated collection. One of them being 'Shilo' by Neil Diamond.

Now, don't get me wrong, I know what you are thinking, I do have very good music appreciation, however I did grow up listening to Saturday Night Jukebox courtesy of 4KQ and my mother, so I feel as though I have an immunity to Neil Diamond and those maracas.... until now!

My goodness, what vinyl gold! I'm absolutely in love with this album. 'You Got To Me', 'Kentucky Woman', and our absolute favourite 'Shilo' - a dedication to Neil Diamond's imaginary childhood friend - he was a loner. I love you Neil!

P.S. Don't you just love the 'Dot to Dot' cover artwork!
