Up early – and listened to James Jamieson and CBQ set run throughs on the computer while catching up on the blogs I like to read (see Links)...
Then, after breakfast, I drove to the municipal dump to off load some stuff removed from the back room and the garage....
Back home, I fixed one the feet on one of the sofas. It went a bit wonky during my time in plaster when I sat down on it a bit too heavily for comfort...
Watched the recent Pet Shop Boys documentary, “A Life in Pop”, which was very good and induced me into listening again to their new album and the second disc of remixes and bonus tracks...
In the afternoon we went round to Jane and Bobby’s for a barbecue (despite the rather inclement weather) for Bobby’s birthday. As usual, the food was plentiful and tasty and nephew Craig and I spent some time in the garden playing with Oliver and Kitty, while the adults stayed inside chatting...
Watched most of three World Cup games today (two at Jane and Bobby’s) then, back home, “Italy Top to Toe” with Count Francesco from Venice once again driving through the countryside, this week taking in Umbria and Tuscany. What a beautiful country...
We discussed the possibility of getting a new “set top box” for Freeview as the one we have, which is only around 18 months old, seems to be playing up a bit these days. Planned obsolescence...
Did some buying on e-bay, securing Prog Rock CDs by ex Spock’s Beard frontman, Neal Morse and Magellan...
Today was Father’s Day - or is it Fathers’ Day - anyway, I think I may write a song called Father’s Day...
Finished off the day looking back at the 18th of each month since I started this diary 16 months ago...
Highlight of the Day : BBQ in the rain...
