Up at 6 today despite last night’s wine intake...

Started the day by transferring some CDs to the hard drive in preparation for making some copies for brother in law Keith...

So far he has chosen Ornette Coleman, New Order and Mozart – his tastes are nothing if not eclectic – he took away my “red book of CDs” last night for perusal and further choosing...

Breakfast at home then out to the podiatrist for a quick once over – my previously in-growing and very sore toenail now appears to be cured. I accompanied Anne and sister in law Jane to the, ahem, beauty parlour - they were being “waxed” while I was being podiatried...

I heard no screams so I assume they enjoyed it....

Back home, I listened to a few records with Meg the Black Cat...



....then to most of Creek’s back catalogue and transferred tracks to the hard drive to work on them re the compilation I have in mind...

At lunchtime – to the local shop for some stop-gap provisions – followed by some soup...

In the afternoon, more Creek and one eye on the footie – QoS won again – two nil in a “six-pointer” against Ross County – the Queens are now 5 points clear of the relegation zone – but it’s not over yet...

Drove out to sister Sheila’s around five thirty for a flying visit and to pick up other sister Pam who was staying over with us tonight. Phoned in an Indian order before leaving there and drove home via the takeaway....

Very tasty indeed – can’t recall the place’s name right now though...

Post meal, Anne, Pam and I sat around listening to music and chatting. I noticed that Pam laughs like Dick Dastardley’s dog, Muttley....

Showed Pam all the pics from last Saturday’s night out and mailed a few to her computer in England...

We all retired reasonably early as Anne and Pam wanted to get up early tomorrow to watch their videoed “Celebrity Dancing on Ice”...

Idiots...

Highlight of the Day : A visit from sister Pam
