Intending to wing it...

Back out of my sick bed today and drugged up on Contact 400 and double strength horse tablets of Ibuprofen. Here's a rather non-descript photo of the foot of Lothian Road. Kind of sums up the day...



The evening was another matter however as James Jamieson came round to rehearse the CBQ set for Thursday night. We ran through it twice, the second time with hardly a single error - then, just for fun, we played through a couple of Jamie's tunes from Sunday...

Then downstairs to watch the end of the football and check the results - another win for Hearts in the CIS Cup, away at Hampden against lowly Queen's Park...

Worryingly for your resident Queen of the South fan however, was the fact that both St Johnstone and Dundee were knocked out by 1st Division opponents St Mirren and Stranraer respectively...

This does not bode well for the Queens' league campaign as both St Johnstone and Dundee have walloped us recently...

Tomorrow night I rehearse with Andy and so CBQ will take to the stage on Thursday without having had any "full band" rehearsals of the set....but I'm sure we'll pull it off!

The set list was finalised tonight as:-
A Nice Job In A Small Town
Half A Lifetime Away
Twenty Twenty Vision
The Gardener
Snowfall
The Crocodile Song
Very Small
The End Of Everything

It's at the very bottom of Lothian Road - the junction with Princes Street - the trees are in the churchyard
