My first play of the day: Chris Squire - Fish Out Of Water. In my opinion this is the best solo album to come out of Yes.

First play of the day: Big Big Train - Ingenious Devices. Reworked and reimagined old songs. The vocals are still by the late David Longdon, but an extra live recording has been tagged on at the end showcasing Alberto Bravin as his successor.

Had my flu jab yesterday. I’ve had achy joints and a banging headache all day today. It’s never been as shitty as this before.
