Was It Sun Through The Haze?

A beautiful sunny day and, what with several reasons to be cheerful (posted a good cv for a good job, something to do at work (for a change), good weather)

The Independent Code-breaker competition took an unexpected twist this morning, which completely threw my theory as to the final answer. Still, the article on Linnaeus was very interesting.

Memories of my youth this morning, as I listened to some recent downloads.

Chris de Burgh 'Spanish Train & Other Stories'. If anyone's been following this blog, then this may be a surprise, but, then again, given the eclectic nature of collection, maybe not. I first heard a track from this on the old Annie Nightingale Radio 1 show (I think), and went to my local record shop (mainly classical stuff with the grudging indulgence in 'pop' albums) to ask for 'Spanish Ghost Train'. One of my first records, bought when I was about 8 or 10 y-o.

Also, for the hell of it (and because my wife likes this kind of stuff): Nik Kershaw 'The Riddle'.

I reverted to type by finishing my commute with Fish's 'Field of Crows', which is, on balance, very good.
