What a Cracking day

A brilliant day today:
- weather like Tones described
- at noon we had to have all our software programs to be freezed before the project goes live and it was 3 PM and we were still looking for a bug.
- sleeping in the train and nearly missed the station: the next one would have been 2 hours away and no train back until the next day.
- come home and find a few dozen of LPs on the floor without there innersleeves.

A brilliant day....
 
The sky over Surrey for the last hour has been as fabulous as I've ever seen it - bright oranges and reds. This augers well for tomorrow. I for one can hardly wait to get up to the sound of "you've got mail" and another cracking zeroGain thread.

On a separate note, I'd like to announce that although I will continue to defy convention, there will be more music than magic from now on. You have the right to know.

PS: don't know why the whole of the English football apparatus has decided to go into serious self-destruct mode just 3 days prior to the crucial Turkey game but it's putting a severe cramp on my listening pleasure. In order to restore my happiness levels I think I'll sell some garage stock and buy a new turntable - yesterday's visit to Tom's has inspired me. I'll start a new thread after dinner to canvas opinion.
 
I noticed the sky here in sunny south Wales too!!! Rich ranges and reds! Was very impressive! I even phoned my girlfriend to look (east london) and she was out looking as I phoned her!

Some very delighted shepheards in wales I feel ;)

MO - can I "nick" a copy of that image???

I was on the train to Exmouth (from Exeter) going along by the side of the estuary when I noticed that sunset - totally AMAZING especially with the ripples on the water - I'm now seriously considering getting another contract phone and ensuring it has a camera on it...

I even rang my dad to tell him, but he was in Liverpool with nice overcast weather!

Sorry - just want to put this one on again - a lush sunrise to go with a lush sunset:

A little touchy aren't we , this beautiful morning? (but not touchy-feely)

Just a pet hate there Steve.

I mean what do bloody new age travellers want with hifi anyway. they've got their pipes and bongos to be going along with (well at least before they are confiscated by the wonderful boys in blue).
 
Ah but how many hundreds of thousands played only one record on their first hi-fis - "Dark Side of the Moon". It still brought a tear to many eyes when I played it at the Frankfurt show (and not because the speakers were so bad).

No hippies - no Floyd.

As for the boys in blue, wonderful they may be but it's well known that for many years they had all the best gear (and I don't mean hi-fi).

An ex and occasionally relapsing hippie.

Dom, I'd love to take the credit for that pic..... but my girlfriend took it! Took about 5 and all of them are really good! I'd post the others but dunno how to get them under 20000 bytes. Not put any software on here since reformating. I'll get her to do them when later. :o

I'll be armed with camera on tripod tonight if it's anything like that again!

Merlin, I think dom's pic is from Glasto. And I take it you're taking the piss yeah? The strive to get a true reproduction of the recorded sound of the bongo is surely an admirable one! Respect! Digereedooooooooooooooooooooos!!!!!

We were protesting about the lack of sunlight - so when it came out we all cheered... And yeah, there was a lot of smoking going on - well, it's the Stone(d) circle at Glastonbury after all... Just don't ask about the acid....

TOO DAMN RIGHT!! I'll need to find my tripod mind you - I might load my spare film into the old Nikon F301 I have knocking around, as some ACE shots of river/swans/sunset blown up to poster size might be cool... Only one thing - where the HELL IS my tripod!?!?

That's one thing my old 1999 Olympus Camedia 1400xl digicam is still good for - sunset shots! It's not bad, but is only 1.3mpixel so old hat by today's standards, but it IS SLR and has a very good CCD....

Exactly Dom. And what happens as the sun rises across the world?

I take it you were all experiencing acid rain as well?
