Wascally Wobin has a tendency to fly into the kitchen if given half a chance and it thinks there’s scrattle about. They’re a lot better at finding their way out than most though… #FeatheredFriday

Todays top find is this watercolour by Evelyn Clare, with accompanying rhyme on the back. This could be a sketch for the book The Magic Ball (1910), a children’s book that was written by and illustrated by Clare. #FolkyFriday #WatercolourWednesday

I’ve had to reinstall my WhatsApp and lost my contacts so if folk could send me a 👋 that would be appreciated.

Back up to the full 12 inches with some cool West Coast Jazz. UK reissue of The Jimmy Giufffre 3. Jim Hall’s Guitar is the star of the show for me. The Jimmy Giuffre Trio – The Train and the River (Atlantic, 1967 UK reissue) #Jazz #Vinyl

#TenInchTuesday is long gone of course, but this disc fell out when rummaging so… Side two is the pick here, nice slow blues for Serenade to Nicole’s Mink Coat. Too much showy Hamp’ stuff elsewhere, and a drum solo ffs 😳 Lionel Hampton And His All Stars – The Hamp In Paris - Volume 2 #Jazz #Vinyl

Amateur recordings of early jazz performances are often best avoided but this is much better than that. Two live sets, decent if not hi-fi sound, and a great band stuffed with stars of the future including terrific vocals from Mary Ann McCall. Woody Herman's 2nd Herd – Live 1948 Vol 2 #Jazz #Vinyl

The great British tradition of amateur watercolour painting delivers again. No idea who CL Haiden was but the Desert Scene was a favourite subject, and these may even have been painted ‘en plein air’ as part of the tradition of a ‘Grand Tour’ that the war would soon kill off. #WatercolourWednesday
