Twenty eight years today since the sweet thrill of industry was captured...

Up at 6 and continued the ongoing process of transferring “worthy” albums to the jukebox (it takes around 10 mins per album) – I’m up to “H” and “I”...

Meg the Black Cat advised she was in charge of the computer...



Out solo to the podiatrist – half an hour early by mistake, so to the nearby deli for a quick coffee with Mr Dylan on the headphones...

Post footwork back home...

The last two of the seven CDs purchased recently on e-bay arrived in the post - a Motown compilation and Handel's Concerti Grossi - along with my ticket for Explosions in the Sky tomorrow night from Count Brodsi...

After toast and coffee, we walked for the bus into town – we are researching trips...

A healthy filled roll for lunch and then back home – where I foolishly returned to e-bay and ended up bidding for around 20 CDs – I am mad – hopefully my bids won’t all come to fruition!

For the first time in a while, a double win for our teams today, both away from home – Queens beating Dundee 3-2, much against the odds, while Hearts overcame Aberdeen 1-0...

In the evening, the family January meal, which replaces the purchase of any meaningful Xmas presents, and we visited McKirdie’s Steakhouse, after drinks at Cuba Norte...

For me, a lovely starter of sautéed chicken livers followed by sirloin steak with mushrooms, mustard mash and veg – v tasty indeed...

No pudding...

The restaurant has a BYOB policy and we’d taken two bottles of Chianti, of which I consumed more than was good for me...

As can be seen from some of the pics below...



Bus home, Harry Hill on tape, sleepy-peepy....

Highlight of the Day : Another nice meal
