Forgot to mention yesterday that Ian Sclater popped a finished copy of his CD “It’s Weird In Here” through the door. Sounds just like the recordings I have on my hard drive! But it’s good to have the finalised CD with cover, lyrics etc...

You can find his site at http://www.iansclater.com/

Sister Pam is back in town, preparing to take our mum on holiday to Spain next week. She’s coming with Anne, me, Anne’s sister Jane and Jane's husband Bobby to the Scottish Cup Final tomorrow – Hearts v Gretna – I might be tempting fate, but I imagine Hearts will win – despite Anne’s constant “what if” scenarios...

In the evening, watched "Corrie", taped “Green Wing” (as we haven’t watched last week’s yet which we taped whilst in Amsterdam) and watched two episodes of “My Name Is Earl”...

Also tonight - Put in a pre order for a signed copy of American songstress, Alice Peacock's upcoming album - she's superb (www.alicepeacock.com)...

Uploaded the Amsterdam CDs onto the Jukebox...

Wow – Friday night eh?

While listening to the far out jazz sounds of Andrew Hill’s Dance With Death (my album of the month so far), I suddenly got a hankering for a bottle of wine –so cracked one open - a nice Chilean Merlot...

That’s a little more like it...

Highlight of the Day : Far out jazz and a bottle of wine...
