Still not sleeping well....

A lazy morning then out for a bite of lunch down at the local Italian café before driving round to the Royal Infirmary for the post op check up...

A swift meet with the surgeon post X-rays and removal of stitches and the op proclaimed a success....

Painkillers and physio available should I need them...

Surgeon advised a furher two to three weeks absence from the offices of “the man” or a swifter return if I feel “up to it”...

A flying visit to my mum’s on the way home – with tales of the recent 25th anniversary dinner of the branch of the Rotary Club which my dad co-founded in 1983/4 along with neighbour Jimmy Kirkwood...

My mum and Jimmy’s widow, Sheila, were invited along as special guests...

Sheila was a little the worse for wear at the end of the night, while my mum was the designated driver...

An escort was required to ensure Sheila made it back to her house, given my mum's disabilities precluding her from holding Sheila up – once in the car heading from Roslin to Loanhead, the escort advised she couldn’t find her handbag – it was agreed it must still be in the venue...

My mum advised she let the two ladies out at Sheila’s and watched as they made their way up the path before the two of them keeled over and fell into the garden behind a hydrangea bush...

By the time my mum had turned the car round to head back to the venue, returning the escort, Sheila was in her home...

On arriving back at Roslin, the escort found her missing handbag – it was sitting on the roof of my mum’s car...

I feel this is testament to the safe nature of my mum’s driving...

Back home, a parcel behind the door from Macclesfield Craig bore various goodies of a Cure and Geneva nature...

Tasty...

The evening, post Anne’s keep fit, was spent watching taped “CSI” and “Law and Order”, Monday nights no longer hloding anything of any TV import now that “Ashes to Ashes” is finished...

Highlight of the day : Mum’s falling over and handbag story...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
