Jan. 5th, 2022 09:29 pmMy first day of work of the New Year. I popped over to Strood end of Medway City today. Had to do one of these one-pound store visits. I also popped into Rainham to Sunburst Books and bought three classical CDs for a quid.
These are –
Mussorgsky – Pictures At An Exhibition (Ravel orch.)
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-12141161-1591040914-9860.jpeg.jpg)
Max Bruch – Symphony no.1
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-14147646-1568724007-2163.jpeg.jpg)
Saxophone Concertos (Marco Polo CD)
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-10008556-1490053822-3631.jpeg.jpg)
It was a sunny but very cold day, just reached 6C during the afternoon.
Well, no more work till next week. I do have some online work though which means I do not have to travel in the cold.
