Whilst doing this, in another window on the PC, I watched the rest of the Yes DVD Dr Prog gave me on Friday...
Then I drove to Patisserie Florentin and bought a couple of croissants for breakfast and a couple of rolls for lunch...
We breakfasted at home this morning, whilst listening to a couple of jazz CDs. I had to put the first one off after a couple of tracks due to there being vocals – for which of course there is NO PLACE in jazz....
As Anne surfed the various Hearts websites she frequents, I fell asleep briefly on the settee – a symptom of stupid, up far too early every day antics – but managed to shake myself awake and resolved to start sorting out my CDs, which have been in disarray since we redecorated the back room...
I moved a lot of stuff around, and took the one third of my collection which had been in the dining room, back upstairs. I put a lot of stuff into the attic, including a 12 string acoustic I never use, synth stands I won’t need till I get down to some programming for the new songs and all my paintings, for which there’s no place at present in the new scheme of things...
And so I was ready to start sorting the CDs into the correct order...
I stopped for lunch and then we drove out to Cockpen to Lothian Cat Rescue, where Anne does some volunteer work, for their July open day...
It was very busy indeed and the cats were gorgeous – they have 60 at present – they keep every single one until its homed....
This was my favourite, she looks a bit like Crispy the Cat - she was complaining about being picked up...
They were selling CDs, DVDs and videos at one stall, 50p each, 3 for £1. I found a Philip Glass CD, “The Hours OST” and added Alanis Morrissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” and a CD-R of The Eagles “Hotel California” to make up a trio of discs. I gave them £5....
We also spent some cash on Raffle Tickets, 1st prize, £750. There were around 20 prizes. We won nothing...
But it was all for the wee cats...
On the way back to Crispycat Towers we dropped in on my mum for some juice and a chat and also changed a light-bulb for her and unpacked, checked and fitted a new headboard to her bed...
She was in good form....
Back home, and back to resorting the CDs and tidying. I got the room to such a state of tidiness, that Anne agreed I could keep the entire CD collection back in the room...
I reburned the Eagles CD as there were a couple of glitches on it, which removed with Digital editing...
After a Chinese Takeaway and watching “Coronation St”, it was back to work on the CDs – this is a mammoth task...
Finished off the day watching Channel 4’s “50 Greatest Ever Comedy Sketches”. Not one was shown in its entirety. My two favourites were Morecambe & Wise’s attempt at Grieg’s Piano Concerto with Andre Preview and Monty Python’s “No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition”...
Highlight of the Day : A visit to Lothian Cat Rescue
