DGM HQ.
A local accent of the Butcherly-Landlordly kind came through the wall at 08.24. A DGM packages-delivery to the front door at 08.50 found me without my trousers, not a pleasant welcoming-response to the delivery man’s first delivery of the day.

11.35 A Kitchen Discussion with David re: a bright-wheeze record-industry strategy when dealing with established catalogues.
If Led Zep is sold to shops at a dealer price of £2.50, and to the public at £4.50; given that old catalogues have a clause that at this price level no royalties are paid; therefore established, older catalogues can make £1 a CD for record companies - because they’re paying nothing to the artists.
However, if you download the same material from i-Tunes @ 99c a track, this suggests that the only shops that make money from music-catalogues is the download shops. It’s cheaper to buy the CDs & load them into i-Tunes yourself; as David found when he acquired the complete CD catalogue of Simon & Garfunkel for a song, as it were.
Artist Ben Singleton has arrived for his day in the DGM Art Department.
17.34 Mucho data transfer & organising. Off to Bredonborough via Wilton.
21.23 A visit to Romain’s Emporium Of Antiquities That Sell Themselves, loading the top half of a kitchen dresser onto the car roof with an improvised roof rack - a mattress. Mr. Cheese the Constructionist kindly met me at World HQ to load it straight in to the World HQ kitchen area.
At home, waiting for me – WillyFred!...
