Nothing to report.

Car stereo was playing up - just a bit of random Muse out of one speaker - and too cold for me to fix it by taking the stereo out and wiggling the bits.

Heard some REM coming from Wonderspouse's study.

Bits of music on TV.

Beethoven's Op.111 going through my head all evening, but not out loud.

Odd day.
