On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:

Hopkinson Smith - L'oeuvre de Luth
Once again exquisite Lute playing by HK and as ever so well recorded on the Naïve label, he plays these suites and preludes as music first, and music for lute second.
Hopkinson Smith - Johann Sebastian Bach : Sonatas & Partitas
A well recorded and marvellously interpreted transcriptions of the Sonatas & Partitas.
My young daughter enjoys this album since she was was born.

Hi Muttonjef, the 24/96 DSOTM is not available for download, you will find it on the blu-ray in the “Pink Floyd immersion box set”.
The Computer Audiophile website has tutorials on how to get a rip from the blu-ray.

Just the job on this lovely warm and sunny May day.
What about being out in the garden? Steve, by the way good choice of music.
Admittedly I'm rescuing the garden after the tenancy ended a week ago, but satisfying to find what lies beneath and think of the many plants there to be enjoyed.
Relaxing now and waiting The the white wine to chill a bit.

Phil,
I had a few hours on the golf course this morning then back home I put together a light lunch after which I spent a couple of hours tidying in the garden broken up occasionally with some puppy training followed by a walk with him. Made a roast chicken dinner accompanied in the making by copious quantities of over chilled Chardonnay and some music.

Steve,
You have been busy! I managed 6 hours gardening. My good wife had roasted a lovely small lamb joint followed by spotted dick and custard. Beautiful evening sun getting through the walnut which has yet to leaf. I should cut it down because the squirrels steal all the nuts before they are ready to drop.
The Cabernet Sauvignon tasted good. I wil finish it tonight!
Phil
Well done Phil, it would seem that you also had a good and tasty day!
Steve, Last year I made many lift style changes because I had a potential Stage 3a Prostate Cancer diagnosis. No wine or coffee, lots of fruit and lots of gardening. Lost weight and PSA dropped from 13 to 10. Had it removed end of September and it turned out it was Stage 2c and all removed. Made a full recovery now apart from the nerve damage which takes a while.
I now have wine occasionally and espresso after dinner. Music and gardening are important, the later for vitamin D and lower blood pressure. Fund raising pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela (500 Miles) during October.
Phil
Good stuff Phil I'm delighted matters regarding your health are heading in the right direction and that you can once again enjoy wine and coffee, what are you fund raising in aid of in September?
