Morning run done, cheeky 2k
Wasn’t looking forward to it because had a week off after being wiped out by a mystery virus last weekend, plus first week back in work after the holidays had me in the wrong mindset.
Felt absolutely fine today though.

Spent the best part of 30 years trying to hunt down this track. Just knew it as “Shine On” amongst friends BITD from the mix tapes.
Artist and title not giving any damn clues away
The hunt is over, just paid the hefty bounty on discogs.
Ray Vaughan ladies and gentlemen

EBay purchase, advertised correctly as having the tape come off the spool.

Bob Hope live at the 1967 Royal Variety Performance.
Can’t find any recording of it available. Hope I’ve found something.
Contacted the BH Facebook group to see.

Got one of these decade old Android boxes hanging about.
Typically used for dodgy TV.
But what else can you do with them.
Play Monkey Island?
Surely not. Let’s go….

I think I need to go back to work
I’m actually considering installing Linux on an old android tv box to be a good use of my holiday time
LibreELEC looks tempting though

Ok, time for a Christmas special without a single mention of Christmas in it, for those that just want to escape it all for a bit. And by bit I mean almost three hours. But a question as complex as this can't be answered without taking some serious time over it, can it?
