Anne volunteers at the Lothian Cat Rescue on a Monday morning so I took the opportunity to work on three songs today – reworking the ex-Chocolate song from yesterday (I’d put in too many key changes for comfort) and working two others up from scratch...
On Anne’s return, after lunch, we drove down to North Berwick, parked at the very eastern end of the beach
...and walked back along for a game of putting...
...followed by a Mr Whippy ice-cream each and then a walk around the town, taking in the wee junk shop in the main street and an exhibition of artworks by local artists in a church...
Then we walked back to the car and drove along the coast road back home...
Two episodes of “Coronation St” sandwiched “University Challenge” – I was on fire tonight but not quite as on fire as Warwick’s weird lady captain – then “New Tricks”, a quick write up of this and, finally, the movie remake of “Starsky and Hutch”...
Another good day...
Highlight of the Day : A trip to North Berwick – even although Anne beat me at putting, forcing me to pay for the ice cream – after I’d already shelled out for the putting...

Hey, i was also in North Berwick yesterday. I climbed Berwick Law about 12.30. There used to be a giant whale bone at the top in the shape of an arch but has now disappeared being replaced by a plastic pipe in the exact shape of the said whale bone, so it looks like it's still there from a distance. How bizarre!
You got beat by a girl, ha, ha.
You'd probably gone by the time we arrived. Bizarre Whale Story. Anne is a lady not a girl...
PS I've finally completed your questionnaire...
hey buddy, The Strawbs right i looked them up on the bbc website after hearing a song on episode 4 of 'Life On Mars' that i couldn't get outta ma head, the track was cried Lay Down, they've got a folky blugrass prog rock thing going on eh? Seems like a band you would know about. What album is said track on & were they any good, apart from Lay Down.
Hi Stu - "Lay Down" was one of the first singles I bought. I now also have the album "Bursting at the Seams" and a 2CD Anthology of the band....
The album prior to "Bursting at the Seams", "Grave New World" is also highly regarded...
Yes, they were "any good" but not the greatest band in the world. Their hit "Part of the Union" is one of the most annoying songs ever...
