Andrew Bird -- ​Things Are Really Great Here, Sort Of

Moderation is for monks. Got my leather case. It's nice. Might try the Regent Street store next week on the off-chance of scoring a phone to put in it.

Thanks gents! Had a nice, middle-aged day -- walk on the heath, long lunch and a nap. Most agreeable.

Gave up. Will try again tonight.

Alt-J -- This Is All Yours

My UK iPhone 6 order shows delivery between the 9th and 16th of October. I'll just walk around talking into the empty case until then, Dinny-style.

Happy birthday!

You should buy two.

Good write up: http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/hodinkee-apple-watch-review

Apple fan, watch fan, not really an Apple Watch fan.

Will check it out. Streaming is answer, in the end.

Nice AT!

Walked into a local AV store and their showcase display was the late, lamented Panny TX-P65VT65. "Wish they still made those." "Yeah." "What are you going to do with that?" "Sell it, eventually." "How about selling it now?" "Let me call the boss." (Some haggling ensues.) It looks really good.

Having that drink for Miko! Sorry Ric.

Happy Birthday!

Yes, thanks Reks.

Sinn, Stowa, Junghans. That Citizen is very clunky -- you can do a lot better without blowing the bank.

Black pudding (ie. blood sausage) for breakfast. Savory, but probably not every day.

This! And I also trust no grapes were bruised ...
