A mix of jobs, first the burning of the Snow Business archive CD. I code albums now as Coding R0Y-ZM
R (for album)
0 = Numerical index (can be any length)
Y = Sub version, eg. alternative recording/mix or modified/mutated sub-version. Only be used for versions of album with identical title, artist, track titles, track lengths, but with alternative recordings, such as remasters or re-recordings. If an album includes extra tracks or any change of track length or name, a new code is issued.
Z = Format:
A: CD, with extra ID as follows [XY - X disc burning origin, Y printing origin]. This is not part of the main code, these letters refer to various printers or manufacturers, with H to represent home-made)

So, Snow Business is R71A, and the Snow Business Bandcamp Download version is R71A-B1, the archive CD is R71A-A1, another CD issue might be R17A-A2. If, one day, I make a vinyl copy this might be R71A-C1 or something.
The morning flew with lots of smaller admin jobs done, Christmas presents purchased, and plans for the next month or two.
The afternoon was full of work on the house, hanging 3 lengths of some heavy gold wallpaper across a chimney breast, and preparing the wall first. After that, fitting the TV to a newly placed wall bracket. This job has been pending since May and my hand accident, so it was good to finally complete it.
