The final Friday of the year must mean @RobertElms and his tunes of the year.

It’s a quality, comprehensive list covering recorded output and live sessions. I downloaded many tracks as I listened along.

It was ACE to hear Dexy’s in there, as well as Ian Shaw’s My Brother. Both put a smile on my face as I tackled a full run of work shifts throughout Friday.

Anna was on domestic duties, grappling with an oven sealant. I still don’t quite see the logic of applying glue to an appliance that will heat up to 250 degrees.

Luncheon saw the personal tax return being completed.

Ouch.

Work continued for what was a rather drab estuary wilds day to be honest. We did have big ideas for an exploratory bicycle ride in the morning. It already looks like the dampness has put the brakes on this plan.

Work came to a close, and we settled down for the Chromecast film of the evening: Amy.

It was painful viewing.

There’s optimism for you as we approach the most-hyped up evening of the year.
