Anyway.. I thoughts we could be bring back an old favourite for the Christmas Day R and C programme. So, it'll be "Christmas Night With the Stars". That is to say, records in some way referencing stars and other heavenly bodies. They don't have to relate to Xmas.

Loved Peter Doig's House of Music at Serpentine South. There until early Feb. Will go again. I interviewed him about 30 years ago when he was playing Ice Hockey for Romford Raiders. I think they'd just won at Lee Valley.

Day 3 of the final round of County Championship matches for this season. Brilliant coverage as ever from @kevinhowells.bsky.social and fellow commentators. Interesting to note that there are two Alberts playing in the Hampshire /Surrey encounter but no Harbottle.

I once floated the notion that Solid Air is actually about Danny Thompson's bass playing not Nick Drake. I shall continue to float that notion. That's what notions are for. RIP Danny.

Robert Redford was a man of great integrity. I liked everything about him. I've never forgotten watching his directorial debut Ordinary People on release in the USA, still raw from the death of my Dad. That film really spoke to me about the things you should always articulate. RIP
