Borrowed some flute music

from the library – and played my new flute, of course!

Started ripping the Chandos Milestones box set

Half the Chandos box is done now – and in only about 2 1/2 hours too! Yep, 15 CDs! I ended up running them on both the laptop and the new Mac Mini so as to get through them faster and even though I had to type in the track listings on about half of those, and edit all the others to get them correct (librarian-brain at work – composers do NOT go in the artist field!), it all just shot through. The Mac Mini’s 4Gb of RAM makes a huge difference.

Bought David Allen’s “Getting Things Done”

which I have been meaning to read for ages and ages – so many people have recommended it to me, and when my sister-in-common-law also recommended it, I figured it was time to actually go out and find it. However, it seems that the librarians at Ealing Central library have *not* read it… otherwise they’d have got in there and sorted the shelves for once so that the book that is in the catalogue would be where it says it is on the shelf, rather than in an unknown dimension, never to be seen again. So huzzah for Waterstone’s. And huzzah for the Waterstone’s vouchers I was given when I left PwC and have been terrified of losing. £11.99 for the book and £12 of vouchers – perfect!

Borrowed scores & CDs from the library

The Imperial College library blessed me with both scores AND CDs for Britten’s Peter Grimes and Verdi’s La Forza Del Destino, plus a book which looks useful for the Satie/Dada article

Explored the library at Imperial College

… while on a saunter around the environs. Thought I might as well ask if I was allowed to borrow & see if they had any good CSS books. I never found out because was waylaid by the most awesome collection of modern classical CDs and scores and music books ever accidentally discovered in a science and technology university library. WOW!
