Various – 66 CDs Acquired So Far in 2009

A change at lunchtime today as I wandered up Lothian Road, past the Lyceum Theatre...



...to Classical Music specialists, McAllister Mathieson Music...

All very nice and inspiring, great ambience, lovely CDs but nothing in the way of bargains which took my fancy – and the Haydn Symphonies Box Set is £60 compared to HMV’s £50..

Wait, I tell a lie, they had a 150CD box set of Haydn’s complete works on Brilliant, which I’ve not seen elsewhere, for £99...

My plans for possibly buying this with the gains of a “sure fire” bet on a horse at Cheltenham were scuppered when the nag fell away in the final stages, taking my £20 note with it...

In the evening, home in daylight for a change and these jet-trails graced the sky...





Cooked with the Exec Producer, producing a superb meal of steak, mushroom, onions and fries with a nicely nippy pepper sauce...

In between watching taped “Not Going Out” and “Law & Order”, I gathered together one track each from the 66 (!!) CDs acquired so far this year, with a view to creating some new podcasts...

The day was rounded off nicely by the arrival in the inbox of a cracking new piece from Creek buddy Craig for me to work on as a CBQ song, under our new collaborative partnership...

Tasty...

Highlight of the Day : Cooking with Anne, new track arriving...
