Up early and immediately to work on the 4th of the quadruple Creek 10th Anniversary set “1.0.0”, on which I did some preparatory work yesterday but did not mention...
A reunion is set for Thursday – we have not recorded since June 2005 and that was as a trio, Mr Brodie has not Creeked since late 2004...
We will discuss how, if at all, to take the music forward...
Out at 8:30 am for breakfast at Patisserie Florentine before sitting outside the optician waiting for Anne to complete a 15 minute visit re new lenses..
Then back home and back to work, with a quick stop for lunch, finally finishing the 4 disc mock up by around 2:30...
The football started again today and another roller coaster season for Queen of the South beckons – 3-1 up at home against St Johnstone with 3 minutes to go....
A 3-3 draw – Saints scoring twice from the penalty spot in the course of the game while Queens, in addition to scoring three, had one chalked off for off-side and missed a penalty of their own...
Then surfing through my linked sites whilst listening to new music – another two discs in the mail this morning, Jonatha Brooke from 2007 and John Surman from 1970 – both excellent in their own ways...
Finally got around to downloading Jim Park's set from The Stand in Glasgow on 24 June from his website - and very funny it is too - take a listen and, if you can, go along and see him during the Festival, his show runs from August 11-17 at The Jekyll & Hyde in Edinburgh. Called "The Free Mouseketeers", it also features Jo Romero & Clara Heimerdinger (probably not her real name)...
Also took more tracks from the Destination Out and Pitchfork sites - just in case I don't have enough new music to listen to...
Then out via bus to The Shore Bar at Leith to meet up with friends Lynn and Ross for a few drinks...
...followed by a meal at nearby Domenico’s - here's Mr Domenico and his head waitress...
A very tasty meal indeed – your correspondent indulged in a warm chicken and chick pea salad followed by sirloin steak in what must be the best pepper sauce in the world (possibly), accompanied by some excellent red wine...
Back to the shore bar where a jazz trio struggled to be heard above the clamour of the Saturday night drinkers and carousers...
A night bus back to Lynn & Ross’s, just 4 minutes by car from Crispycat Towers and (non-drinking) Lynn very kindly gave us a lift home...
Highlight of the Day : Another good night out...

Norman Lamont has targeted you for a spurious chain meme. Post eight random facts about yourself and pass it on. If you don't pass it on within four moons then ... probably nothing.
See my site for the rules.
Probably nothing then Mr Lamont!!
With Brodie's b'day this Friday he has "Creeked" in many other ways
Suggest you turn your flash on David, then we could see if the head waitress with Mr Demenico was hot or not!
I'm having a bad morning, sorry.
So I see Stu, so I see...
It's quite funny that you thought Clara Heimerdinger isn't her real name. Actually it is! Oddly though Jo Romero is not Jo's real name. I guess as I'm writing this 3 years after the event you'll probably never see it but I thought I'd write it anyway :-)
Au contraire Adrian - as all comments are moderated I see and read them all...
Good to know Clara's name is real...
Cheers
Well just to draw a line under this, I saw Jo recently and she says that in fact Romero is a family name.
Ok good to know it's finally cleared up. Both names are their own. Only four years down the line LOL
Cheers Adrian
