Famous Blue Hand Cart (Wednesday 4th October 2017)

It was another day hanging around for packages, at least one of which had to be signed for. The first to arrive wasn't expected that day (but did need my signature), the second had only one of the two items ordered, and a third was also unexpected but very welcome; the first selection from a gin club I recently joined, including a full bottle of New Zealand gin.
By the end of the afternoon, spent in the kitchen because the bell is inaudible from my upstairs study, I had phoned to find out that the missing package had been damaged in transit and returned to base. It would now be delivered on Friday.
During the afternoon I went to fetch something from Archie and found the front passenger door had been left slightly ajar the previous evening, so the battery was 100% dead. I am currently re-charging my jump starter.
The second item that did arrive was this heavy duty sack trolley, intended to help me shift a pile of paving slabs initially, and which looked like this after I had assembled it.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Nick Drake - Time Of No Reply [Orchestrated Version] (recorded September 1968, Sound Techniques, Chelsea; orchestra added by Robert Kirby, Lansdowne Studios, August 2003)
Listening to Made To Love Magic in the kitchen while awaiting delivery men, including this new version of Time Of No Reply, an outtake from Five Leaves Left for which the orchestral score had not been recorded. A slightly later recording became the title track of compilation album later. Nick Drake also recorded this song for a John Peel Top Gear session that I remember listening to on a Sunday afternoon in Sutton Park with some friends on a dodgy transistor radio on medium wave Radio One. It isn't true that no-one was listening to Nick Drake until after his death; his work was well known and admired by some of us.
