Up early on a bright and cold Saturday morning...

I set about burning some CDs for brother-in-law Keith and making up the covers too – listening to some of the music as I went along not to mention the new jazz acquired yesterday...

By the time we’d had our home made breakfast, it was almost midday..

We drove along to Roseburn and parked the car and then walked along the water of Leith to Stockbridge – it took around 40 minutes and what a delightful walk it was – the scenery was very impressive....

At Stockbridge, I popped in to the Oxfam Music Shop while Anne bought some flowers for the house. I picked up two more CDs – saxophonist Wayne Shorter and drummer Dennis Chambers...

Then we looked for somewhere for coffee and a sandwich and found a wee Italian place in St Stephen’s St – Sprio & Co...

Very tasty...

The sun was shining, the sky was blue – a good day...

Then the walk back along to Roseburn – Anne was tuned into the pre match radio for the Scotland v Georgia game, while I listened to tracks from my 100 Good Albums playlist...

Back home, Anne listened to the game on the radio while I tuned in to Messrs Shorter and Chambers – funky – then perused the works of Gentle Giant, Jellyfish, Rheostatics and The Blue Nile on YouTube...

In the evening, Anne watched “Dancing on Ice” while I picked up the old geetar and wrote a new song, “The Angels’ Kiss”...

Worked on that for most of the rest of the evening, until the highlights of the footie Scotland won ugly 2-1 while England played out a dismal draw in Israel – oh dear...

Highlight of the Day : A walk along the waterside...
