Up at 7:15 and to the PC to continue some downloading...

Got the new Marilyn Manson single last night – this morning I go systematically through my list of “MP3 Blogs”....

There are some legendary prog names like Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, Nektar, Ian Carr's Nucleus, Ars Nova, Le Orme, Fruupp and loads of stuff I’ve never even heard of over at Demusica Alterque...

And, for the best collection of ambient, weird, electronic, kraut rock etc, including Brian Eno’s “Music for 77 Million Paintings”, have a look at Faunigena...



We were going to drive down to Dumfries for the last QoS game of the season but I had a dentist’s appointment at 11:50 which was taken late and at which I had a filling removed and shored up for future work – this conspired to have us forego our trip and return to base for the afternoon...

But not before a wee walk around the Old Town...



In the graveyard of this church is the resting place of the remains of the economist Adam Smith...

As Anne listened to the unfolding of the fight between St Johnstone and Gretna for promotion from the 1st Division to the SPL, I was listening to new music as it arrived on the hard drive (whilst watching the BBC’s videoprinter)...

In the end, with Queens thrashed 3-0 at home to Airdrie, I was kind of glad we’d not gone along. Last year’s last day game ended in a similar defeat from Dundee...

Gretna won promotion with almost the last kick of the game...

In the evening we watched last week’s “Dr Who” followed by this week's – the latest Dalek adventure – just four of the beasties living in New York in 1930 – not the best Dalek story I’ve seen but, at the end, I’m pretty sure the one remaining Dalek must be the one that turned up in the first “new” series a couple of years ago in the episode entitled "Dalek" (which I bought on DVD yesterday for nephew Ollie's Dr Who-fest)...

For the first time in a few weeks, an Indian takeaway provided the evening meal and we rounded the day off with “CSI:New York” and “Law & Order”...

Highlight of the Day : Loads of new music
