Forecasts are terrible for this weekend, cycling tomorrow looks less likely than usual. If I’m housebound then I’ll just have to fiddle with that iPod.
There are a few things I don’t understand about it-

1. iTunes makes me re-register it with Apple every time I plug it in to the computer.
2. iTunes shop hold hardly any music that I’d like to buy- often the searches just return tribute bands and compilation albums.
3. Some album cover pictures don’t upload to the gadget, others do.
4. there are 3 built-in games, how do I uninstall them?
5. Why would anybody want to watch a film on a screen the size of a camera monitor screen?

I’ve rediscovered King Crimson. It’s been years since I played any and my LP collection is pretty complete. They were a bit pretentious and flamboyant in the early albums, a reputation that they never shook off, but their later releases are far more interesting. Try "Larks tongues in aspic", " Starless and Bible black" or "Red". All use some superb bass and drum musicianship.
