TIL the song N.I.B. by Black Sabbath is titled that because of Bill Ward's goatee, which the band members thought was shaped like a pen nib.
Such a fun way to title a song.

I've bought a few vintage LPs this week.
The Tchaikovsky is very nice. Never a disappointment buying a Melodya record.
A few Bach albums, various Bachs. I find baroque very relaxing π
Toad of Toad Hall with David Croft ( of bbc sitcom fame ) et al. 1958. This is the kind of indigestible treacle that Peter Cook parodied so well. I suppose it was nice for kids who lived a sheltered life. and couldn't watch American tv. I am glad I heard this.
An American in Moscow. Goodman. English translations of Russian songs. Forgettable.
I let Jason loose on the hallway and laundry today. I think I want to install some kind of holder thing in the laundry so that I have somewhere to put mops and brooms that isn't the floor, and maybe a shelf or something for replacement mop heads (there's no real storage in or near the laundry)
I can probably work out the broom mounts myself. Just a couple of screws into the stud seems easy enough. Not sure about the shelf though. In the meantime I'll just relocate an old bookshelf or something
