Summer Is Done
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, anyway... it's going to be rain & cooler temperatures for the rest of the season
Given that Summer ends in just under 2 weeks, that's not as dramatic as it sounds, but I'm still quite okay with that prediction. As I've said before, I'll take all the cool weather & rain the planet wants to give us. The older I get, the less I enjoy the high temperatures & while the humidity has been high this season, the temperatures in general, haven't been, so it's been mostly bearable
Right now, it's pretty cloudy & windy outside - a southerly has been slamming into the front of the house for the last hour or so. I'm glad I got my walk in earlier today... wouldn't be much fun out there right now. Which is why I'm here in the music/computer room compiling a list of bits & pieces I need to get from an electronics store tomorrow, to (hopefully!?) finish the home studio set-up
I'm also working my way through a 10CD box set of Cannonball Adderley albums I've had for a while, but haven't got 'round to exploring. Cannonball was one of my first steps into 'serious' jazz, after hearing the legendary Sydney jazz band Galapagos Duck play some of his tunes on Sunday afternoons in a Manly pub back in the 1980s. There are a couple of albums I have on vinyl that aren't in this box set (even though it has 17 albums in it!!), so I'll keep an eye out for them here & there... I've had the LPs for nearly 35 years, so no hurry!
