What's made your day today?

Switching off the laptop, 2 weeks (and one day) of holiday.

That, and I ordered a new set of headphones which is always a reason for joy. I am a self declared Sennheiser fanboi, but I took the plunge and ordered a pair of Focal Bathys, wireless expensive cans. Really looking forward to these. Of course, something had to give so I am selling some stuff as well to balance the scale a little (they are not cheap). Picking hem up tomorrow morning and it will take a little while and a lot of music to pass a verdict.
The best part is that I always find myself re-discovering a lot of music becuase I am curious to hear what this or that album sounds like with these headphones.
They will reside next to my Sennheiser HD660, a pair of IE300 (in ear wired) and the True Momentum Wireless buds. I have a Sony WH-1000XM4s as well, they will go to my wife when she's worn out her XM2s. She is really happy with the ANC on these things and she is right, that part of fantastic. The sound is OK, but the Sennheiser buds sound better, and now the new Focals' will probably do those out again. But they live next to each other and have different purposes so that's OK.

Anyway, a long way of saying I am looking forward to a new pair of cans.

Visiting a trade show in Frankfurt, walked into one of the halls and it turned out to be the Festhalle where R30 was filmed. Nice architecture.

I've never been inside the Festhalle but my memory of it is walking past it one night in April 1997, turning a corner and suddenly getting a gobsmacking view of Hale-Bopp on a very clear night.

Receiving a proper letter in the mail from B&Q banning me from their stores nationwide.

Went to click and collect and waited an age to get my paint whilst clumps of staff were hanging about just chatting - as they always seem to do there.  Had a Michael Douglas in Falling Down moment.

Get escorted out by security with my paint.  Look down at said paint and it's for a Mr Singh - and completely the wrong order.
