To FOPP at lunchtime and two discs for £5 purchased taking me to around 350 for the year (so far!!)...
A single disc compilation of Donovan’s first two albums for £2 and a 2CDset of 12” singles on the Tommy Boy label for £3 – bargain...
The latter brought back memories of our trip to Amsterdam around 1982 where I bought a superb album by Man Parish due to their use of Kraftwerk like rhythms which are much featured on this 2 disc set (although Man Parrish are not)....
Home early – not feeling great but ready to venture out again tonight for a few drinks and an Indian with Anne and chum Chris who had popped over from Fife...
We met in Tiles Bar in St Andrew Square which is housed in the same large room where Anne’s mum once worked for Prudential...
Then to Zest on the other side of the square where a very tasty meal was enjoyed before we headed to the Doric Bar over behind Waverley Station for a nightcap prior to Chris heading for his train home...
Speaking of which I gave him a book on trains for his Xmas with which, as a train freak, he was delighted...
Bus home and to bed...
Highlight of the Day : Indian...
