15th August 2006 - low-fi

We’ve had a low-fi evening tonight. Low-fi food (simple, few ingredients and almost all local), low-fi entertainment – records but hi-fi company.

Sarah and Andrew have been our guests and we’ve had a fab evening.

I’ve said before that what started with only footie in common has spawned a beautiful friendship and indeed it has. Tonight it has moved to another level as we’ve met Andrew for the first time….I’ve exchanged a few words with him before, though only a couple of short conversations.

He’s a lovely guy.

As you can probably tell, this shot is a late-night ‘desperation’ shot after a meal and a few glasses of the red stuff (it’s a high-day so it’s allowed).

For 'them 'us is interested' it's Lou Reed's Transformer!


Last year, the dangers of wheelie bins were worrying me!

It's a lovely shot. Great background/colours. Sadly I fear the stylus will be better at photography than sound! I resisted and resisted the lure of the ipod. Politics, you name it...I gave in, bought a £100 pair of headphones and wow, I've been blown away. You hear detail you've never heard on recordings. And yes, you can rig it to an amplifier when you wanna share...

Oi! Nothing 'Lo-Fi' about my Rega Planar....

Excuse me, but I thought you said footie. But I thought you were all Spurs fans!
I still have my turntable and all the LPs, 7" and 12" singles that I collected from the late 70s... or should I say, Liam has them all (and doesn't know how they work - oh the iPod generation!!)

Wow. This is a beauty of a "grab" shot. I really like it. v

What fab warm colours, Linda. Love the green and blue showing on the platter.
