Worked for three full hours first thing this morning on just one existing track for the new album – to very little avail I can tell you – such is the way...
Compare that with last Sunday night, when I wrote and recorded an entire new song in the same period...
An album by Sonny Clark arrived in the mail from e-bay., “Dial S for Sonny” – and we listened to this as we made and ate breakfast...
Also in the post, an invite to an opening of an art exhibition at Scotlandart.com – posted on 23 March, 2nd class granted – but the event was two days ago...
After breakfast, I looked through the programme for this year’s Edinburgh Festival and marked off around 17 performances I’d like to see...
Whittled them down to around 10 and fully intend purchasing seats for them all when tickets go on sale, but we shall see. Of course I will look to attend concerts later this year by Alice Cooper, Rush, Marillion, Icon and Asia too..
My mum called to find out when we were planning on going out to see her today – she called last night to say she needed me to go out and set up her new “all in one” remote control...
So we headed out there – listening to The Dears as we drove – which Anne succinctly adjudged as “crap”...
After toiling for a while trying to programme mum’s new remote control, it occurred to me to check the batteries in the “broken” one...
Problem solved..
On our way back home, we stopped off at Falko Konditormeister at Brunstsfield and bought a couple of slices of cake and some lovely bread...
Back home, Kaffee und Kuchen for lunch...
In the afternoon I worked again on the album and, again, to little avail...
Not to worry, these days happen...
Queen of the South thrashed Clyde 1-0 away from home after last Sunday’s 0-0 draw with the same opponents at Palmerston. Hamilton on Tuesday next – looks like the Great Escape is on again this season...
Harry Hill’s TV Burp is accompanied by a tasty curry for tea and then, highlight of the day, the return of Dr Who. Though it easily knocks the likes of “Primeval” and “Torchwood” into the proverbial cocked hats, and it is great and exciting – it’s never really as good as I expect it to be...
Then, an hour sorting out my jazz CDs, reintegrating all the Blue Note discs I took out and ordered by session date a couple of weeks ago...
The night is rounded off with “live” episodes of “CSI NY”, “Law & Order” and the end of “Match of the Day”...
Highlight of the Day : The return of Dr Who...
