Midnight Jazz

As usual i select an after midnight tune. Earlier i was watching on Sky Arts two concerts by the excellent jazz singer Anita O'Day , one from 1962 and one from 1970. In both gigs she sung this track, Sweet Georgia Brown, but her best version is the one she did at the 58 Newport Jazz Festival.She follows it with Tea For Two.

Enjoy.

Lunch Club and Book Finds

In many ways this has been a long day. Started out doing a mystery shop at the Apple Store and then the lunch club followed by some beers at the Evening Star pub. Plus a purchase from Waterstones a few charity shop finds.

This was the last lunch club of this year before Xmas. The usual crowd came and we decided to have something special for the New Year. We had a very enjoyable time, dome great conversations and the occasional funny moment.

Afterwards i popped into Waterstones as i had a voucher to spend and picked up this from thier philosophy section -


I the found these in various chaorty shops -








I then had a few beers at the Evening star pub ending up with a half of Arbor Indy Girl ale (9.7  % ABV). Top heavy yummy beer!
