In which case, Mrs Foxy and I had best stay in the den.
Happy New Year to you all.0 -
The current wife is making more tea - so good start to the new year. Last nights party was excessive and fun especially catching up with an old school friend
Today will be bikes and catching up with some friends in the pub later0 -
A bit tired here but relatively OK. There's not much grog left in the fridge though. Its the long drive south this afternoon then back to the normal routine."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

NYE at friend's place for BBQ dinner was good. Love New Years' Day in the morning because it is so quiet everywhere...
Today was about as perfect a summer day as you could wish for. 27 deg C, no clouds, low humidity, light breeze and all the neighbours away meant a quality day spent lounging about the pool in blissful silence. This was interrupted periodically by the need for coffee or other refreshment, but soon returned to lizard position on the sun lounge. 8)
More catch up with friends late arvo, dinner and more shiraz drunk. Good start to the year.Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Very quiet night and early bed after a couple of Bailey's. Now contemplating drizzly ride but the added bonus of empty roads bar the odd trattor/milk lorry/stray drunk...

A Happy & Healthy New Year all,

Morning all (just) and Happy New Year etc.
Early night for me last night after a glass or two of gueuze.
Veg prep this am as we are having friends for dinner. I wanted chicken, but was over-ruled.
Now off for a quick ride before it rains again.

Afternoon all,
Not feeling too bad this morning. Slow start with bacon sarnies has been had. Teenagers are all conscious now and those that don't live here have left. Off out for a stroll in Richmond Park shortly. Don't think much will be done today.
Happy 2016 everyone, may it be a good one.0 -
The first snow of the year here. HNY!

Brian Trumpet posted the link recently and it gave me the impression that it was contemporary but having looked at it again, I now realise it is a bit dated. Maybe he's still recovering.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

How can you possibly be listening to such poor quality music. I am referring of course to the thread below.
viewtopic.php?f=40088&t=13039835
Mono does not equal inferior.It really comes down to recording technology. HiFi multitrack recording started in the early 70s and by the early 80s digital mastering and digital multitrack started to appear. That means the quality of a recording made from about 75 onwards sounds just like modern recordings quality wise. So today a 20 year old recording sounds new whereas in the 80s a 20 year old recording like early Beatles stuff was recorded live to stereo so the production is terrible. A song from the 50s was recorded in mono. There's been no improvement in the recording quality for decades as it exceeded the human ear in the 80s. Since then the technological improvement has been all about convenience. The last record I played bass on was recorded using Audacity in the singers house and then the tracks were emailed to Sony for mastering. The first one I ever recorded (back in the 80s) required two months of studio time and cost a fortune. But the production quality is the same on both as both were mastered digitally.
Technology can be good but it is not the be all.
Edit:- One of my favourite recordings - The Allman Brothers At Filmore East. It is stereo but it was recorded in 1971. I doubt modern technology would make it sound better. Some sound engineer may argue but it is all about the feeling and getting your feet moving.
I do not decry new musicians. I decry manufactured "music".The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Morning/Evening all
Sick as dog, full of cold/flu slept most of the day, well bed rested. Last night was n odd one due to being ill and everything that happened around it.
Off to cook, the date failed to make cheese on toast earlier so it is best she doesn't cremate the steaks.
Wish we had snow, and well done on the F500. Also enjoyed the speil about glycogen stores, especially as I am notoriously bad for eating and drinking on rides (prob one of the reasons I am sick today)0 -
