Various – Hits May ’70 – ‘08
Up early and computing...
At 9, my latest appointment with the podiatrist...
Then, into town with Anne to the Engine Shed Café for breakfast....
Anne’s mum has three paintings in an exhibition there and they really are very good indeed, quite contrary to my mum-in-law’s opinion...
We split after parking the car in “the Saturday place” and I headed to the Oxfam shop, where I purchased a 3CD set of “Classic Trance Nation” – tasty...
Then to the Music Library to meet up with Dr Prog whom I’ve not seen for a few weeks due to holidays etc...
He borrowed a great big pile of stuff – he’s currently into folk music...
For my own sins, a 3CD set of music from the reign of Louis XIV (1661-1715) – also tasty...
Then to Beetlejuice, the little café which was once our record shop, for coffee/tea and chat about this, that and the next thing...
Took the Doc home and returned to find Anne had been texting me to bring something home for lunch – of course my mobile was, as usual, off...
So back down to Tesco...
I parked at nearby PC World and nipped in and bought an external DVD drive with some of my ill-gotten birthday money – the drive on the PC is, for want of a better expression, wonky and goosed...
After lunch, watched the opening moments of the FA Cup final (which Portsmouth went on to win 1-0 against underdogs, Cardiff City), before retiring upstairs to muck about with all the tracks I have saved onto DVDs which, for a long time before today, I couldn’t access...
Tonight we were off to Fife for Chris-with-a-ch’s birthday bash so I quickly compiled and burned a 2CD compilation of hits from his birthdays from 1970 to today...
By the time I’d finished, he’d arrived to pick us up and take us over to the Kingdom in his very fast car...
A quick drink at his flat, where we were entertained by a Utah Saints video (“Something Good ’08”) re “The Running Man” dance – which seemed to have me in it...
Then a taxi to a nearby establishment where we met up with another Dave, his wife Lorna, Ferret and his oldest chum Spender for more drinks...
It was a lovely evening when we arrived in Dunfermline via another cab to the Seven Kings, where we were joined by Dawn and the G...
After more drinks, we walked round to the Viceroy Indian Restaurant where the last two of our party turned up, Competitive Dave (so three Daves) and his fiancé Colleen...
Above L-R : G, Dawn, Ferret, Spender; Below L-R : Dave, Lorna, Colleen, Competitive Dave
We ordered far too much food and far too much drink and had a great time, leaving behind far too much uneaten food and a couple of hundred quid – which was pretty good considering what had been brought to the table...
Then, off out into the wild scenes of a Dunfermline Saturday night, firstly to “Café Continental”...
...from where Ferret and Spender kept disappearing over the road to neighbouring establishment looking for young ladies...
Then, on to “The Creepy Wee Pub” by which time your correspondent had reverted to Irn Bru in an ill-advised attempt to retain some modicum of dignity...
Then, onto yet another pub - but it was time for Anne and me to catch the last train home – so we said our goodbyes to the party and headed to the station...
A sleepy journey to Haymarket was followed by a taxi ride home, where Meg the Black cat was waiting to chastise us for being out too late...
