If I rock up outside Holyrood and commit ritual seppuku will this count towards the coronavirus statistics? What are you reading? I've only read the tetralogy. Been meaning to read more of him for ages. The only thing I've got going is one Bob Dylan album every week day. This is day 7 so Blonde on Blonde, I don't think I've listened to any of the albums between Street Legal and Time Out of Mind all the way through so that should be interesting even if they are shite.

Granny Danger Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Picked up a load of litter from the garden, swept up and bagged leaves, finished pruning the apple trees. All tasks that I don’t like doing but that needed done. Also good exercise. Edited April 6, 2020 by Granny Danger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street legal has a couple of great songs on it. I think Frank black covered a song off it. A bit soppy, but 'is your love in vain' is a brilliant song 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Halfway through series 2 of The Shield but opted for Sergio Leone's "dollars trilogy" today, although they're not strictly a trilogy, as Van Cleef is a good guy until he re-appears as Angel Eyes in the 3rd movie. A Fistful of Dollars, pretty raw with plenty violence. A Few Dollars More, decent but not outstanding. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, a polished masterpiece. Back to the gardening tomorrow & get the dead moss raked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sea Of Fertility series is great but it's different translators so it's a bit up and down in quality. It would be amazing if someone would shell out for new translations but he's probably on a publishing shit list with Celine and Woody Allen. The second book in that series Runaway Horses foreshadows the coup attempt. 2 hours ago, HooseLee said: Street legal has a couple of great songs on it. I think Frank black covered a song off it.

Aye but Street Legal bridges nicely to it as it's got the black soul female backing singers. He married and knocked up at least one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's nowhere near as much of a wrong un as Woody Allen. We've all dreamed of starting a shirtless militia with the fellas and botching a seppuku attempt. I picked up Spring Snow and Confessions of a Mask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Test run of Karcher pressure washer. Bought the K2 imagining that it was all the pressure I'd ever need. Instantly wished I'd ordered a bigger, bladder pressure washer. Meh. Such is life. Cycled 24 km for the second day in a row. Arse is in tatters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
