There may come a time when you are lucky enough to have a large piece of Sunday afternoon stretching before you. The late, great author Douglas Adams called this the “long, dark tea time of the soul” and sometimes it does feel like that. You know that Monday is not far away but if you have a chance, take it. Grab a favourite piece of music and really listen.
For me, it is a Beatles album and, after much thought and deliberation, it is Abbey Road. Maybe not everybody’s classic. But for mine, the closing songs – Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight and The End carry me to somewhere else. There are other moments on Abbey Road – quirky Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and the sublime Here Comes the Sun to name just two.
