Twenty-Twenty Six and that

So it is New Year although calendars are on order, they have as yet to arrive in dribs and drabs with all the festive holiday delays although you might of thought I'd of ordered them sooner but I had other perhaps more serious on my mind like a badly injured sister in law, an unwell parent and that so they ended up well on the back-burner.

New Year most likely will start as it left with Blue Peter although it's on hiatus until the sixteenth after the Christmas edition.

What I have been doing is watching the Christmas specials from nineteen seventies and early nineteen ages when I saw it around Tea Time on Monday's and Thursdays and the year highlights which brought back strong memories of things like the death of Jason, the seal point siamese cat and various appeals that I was involved in either donating to or buying at "bring and buys" for.

There should be a couple of classical records, one a modern from the analogue tapes reissue, the other while in that series because a spare analogue system was used in tandem with the pioneering Decca Recording System but I've ordered a near mint digital original as it went in the great vinyl purges of the late nineteen eighties when we all swore we'd have need for in the world of the Compact Disc.

There wasn't an awful lot on the television on New Years Eve that interested me so I listened to a repeat broadcast of the Last Night of the Proms from September that amongst things featured a more opera based interpration of Bohemian Rhapsody by the rock group Queen.

I can see more music, not least more high quality 24 bit downloads being purchased, as with just two Super Audio cd plants in the world few are being issued and indeed with one popular series we've just not had them although though they were promised at the start with just a couple of exceptions so if you want better than cd sound more like vinyl at it's finest, then that's as good as you can expect.

I do hope to get away a bit during the year although it may be more extended weekends with issues around accomodation for anything longer given the numbers and that and for day trips by some means or other just to ensure I get some personal time.

Forum depends very much on it's members, generally we rub along well enough but as text only media is want to do, we do have some misunderstandings as subtleties get lost or commenrts misread but we've seen more original story telling related to past lives and the bits we keep with us and some interesting use of A.I art although it can make mistakes.

I do expect more of that as talking about experiences only really continues at length when new people bring fresh tales to it and while we have had some new faces, sometimes participation isn't so strong as you might of thought.

Sometimes visual clues take you back further than words too.
