Another set of tracks thrown up by my excellent little Victure MP3 player on my morning walk on Hampstead Heath – warm this morning, without being overwhelming, and not an ominous cloud in the sky, unlike Friday, when they darkened, circled and finally unleashed a downpour that half-drowned me.

Some Days You Do ... 
A list to put a glide in one’s stride whatever the weather! ‘P F Sloan’ has long been a favourite – since hearing Jimmy Webb’s original over 50 years ago. I’d clean forgotten about Kimmie Rhodes until last week when we picked up a (rather good) Kieran Goss album produced by her son Gabe and on which she provides some backing vocals. Weird symmetry would be achieved if the version of ‘Central Reservation’ was the Benn Watt Then Again Remix. Keep safe. J&T
