Very cold and wintry today but clear skies and no wind or precipitation – so – very cold and icy...
Nearly went arse over elbow as I walked down the road in the dark this morning...
At lunchtime a watch repair was carried out and the Xmas Tree in Charlotte Square was taken down...
So I reckoned today was the Twelfth day of Christmas (Epiphany) but of course it’s actually tomorrow (as the first day is Boxing day not Xmas Day – thank you Exec Producer)...
Here’s the same scene on my way home - the tree is gone...
In the evening, after some tasty lamb mince and mash with French beans, we ventured out into the cold again and picked up chums Lynn and Ross and drove into town to the Stand to see comedian Jim Park in a ten minute slot, along with around nine other comics...
This was the best I’ve seen Jim – he was confident and assured and won the audience over easily – his timing was spot on and the self deprecation element was just right to get the packed audience on his side....
The material, despite the fact this was the umpteenth time I’d heard some of the jokes, sounded fresh and original and his new pieces were excellent too...
Of the ten comics, he was up there in the top three along with, for me the best of the night, an Aussie whose name (like all the others) I was unable to catch...
A good night – ten comics for £2 and a couple of drinks – can’t say fairer than that for a Monday...
Didn’t have time to play my guitar today though...
Highlight of the Day : Night out to the comedy club...
