Sister Pam could have retired today, on what would have been her 55th birthday - could've, would've...

My grandmother, seen behind us at he window, would have been 119 today...

A call to my mum, mid morning to mark the day...

Coincidentally, chum Baz was celebrating his 40th...

...not till Sunday but cake today...

At lunchtime, a trip to Fopp, not high in hope but they had a deal on re the Norwegian, mainly electronic, label, Smalltown Supersound...

Sampled on my phone in the shop and partaken of at £3 a pop...

In the evening, Anne at Zumba - Lynn is in Crete - as a consequence, one teacher, two pupils...

Hmmm...

But she advised she worked a lot harder than usual due to there being no place to hide...

Meanwhile, I enjoyed a couple of episodes of "Timeless"...

The whole time travel thing gets you thinking - and nitpicking...

This week's podcast selection chosen and listened through...

The five above all included, along with a plethora of recently acquired "modern" jazz...

Accordingly, much tunelessness...

Which can be good...

Today's artwork, "Cake"...

Highlight of the Day : Pam's birthday, not maudlin...

Executively produced soundtrack reminder...

"Pick a number between 1 and 52", I asked the EP this morning as I exited the house...

"40"...

And so my day was soundtracked by the 40th episode of 2017 Eclectic Selections...

I often listen back to equivalent weeks in previous years and have no idea who's playing until me in the past tells me...

Then I think "that was good, must dig that out and give it a spin"...

Even a couple of weeks after recording, I've often forgotten what I said or played...

Another purchase today of more junk to clutter up Crispycat Towers...

Nice pics though...

This evening, I reset the Samsung Bridge Camera after Stu Cobley's (professional) mucking about with the settings a couple of years ago...

The subsequent view from the office this evening...

...including some LPs only currently owned on vinyl...

On telly, a, mostly, bleak "Ackley Bridge" and the first of a two parter, Ruth McCarter re "Holby City" entertained...

Today's artwork "Vinyl Only"....

With Pam's birthday coming up tomorrow, retired with one of her favourites, Wings' "Venus and Mars"...

Highlight of the Day : Rediscovering what I was liking 30 odd weeks ago...

Duplication but only kind of...

Listening back today again to the edited highlights (the set) of yesterday's session...

A wander around the shops in Stockbridge at lunchtime and, as I purchased a disc of Borodin's two string quartets, I had an inkling that maybe I had a recording of this already...

In fact, today's purchase was my fourth...

...and I have two other recordings of the 2nd quartet...

The music is, however, good...

On telly, "Flowers" must be one of the worst programmes we've ever watched...

It made the latest episode of "Humans" look like a masterpiece...

Elsewhere, we have the Fringe programme and have booked some comedy shws...

Some music may be added...

Today's artwork, "Eight Quartets"...

Highlight of the Day : Booking shows...

A young person's suggested name change...

Tried to sleep later today...

Consequently, up just after seven and a run through the covers set...

Then, post porridge, to the gym with Anne...

Some Sunday morning telly then prep re today's session out at Roslin...

On our arrival, Johnny's daughter, Chloe...



...advised we couldn't be called Capital Models, as it was too embarrassing for her at school and on social media for her dad to be a model...

This name, however, was suggested by the young lady and kind of deemed acceptable...

We'll see...

Paul has agreed to join and has already (also) been making suggestions, despite it probably being some time till he will be able to convene with us in person, although he has us on tape...

Rehearsals went well...

There was a break for cake, from Mrs Johnny, Moira...

Rehearsals continued...

We took 150 minutes (plus cake time)...

...to run through 67 minutes of songs...

Such is it...

...when you are learning...

Home to Anne and tea and listening back - better than I expected, although still a few howlers...

But we're getting there, slowly...

"The Bridge" enjoyed...

Trying to remind ourselves who the hell "Tommy" is though...

Today's artwork, "Mr A and Mr C"...

Highlight of the Day : Musicking...

Ten years on...

Up unfeasibly early but I just couldn't get back to sleep...

Took the opportunity to update the Crispycat website at www.crispycat.co.uk which has everything that's happened to me, musically, since 2002...

Also got my red book of CDs I own up to date - these having recently left the shelf in the living room...

Breakfast at 8:40...

A call from my mum - not well - trip re rollator postponed yet again...

Strawberries and downloading instead...

A visit to her in the afternoon - certainly not 100% - she has some sort o liver infection a d awaits an appointment at the hospital for tests...

Her garden's looking nice though...

As we drove over to brother in law Keith's, to celebrate his and Maureen's 10th Wedding Anniversary, we passed a just happened road accident, with a car left on its roof in the road with wheels spinning...

Hopefully all were ok - there was much assistance being provided...

Drinks in the back garden at K&M's...

...followed by super tasty food...

...including cake...

...and unpictured due to timing issues confetti cannons...

The aftermath was easier to capture...

Much chat and drink and carousing - Keith and I enjoyed discussions on classical music...

Today, I was on Diet Irn Bru and so able to take Anne's mum home...

Another good day...

Today's artwork, "Decade Cake"...
