Up at the unfeasibly early time of 4:21...
Feeling good despite last night's excesses...
No headache but some juice and painkillers (just in case) were required and I sat in the living room enjoying the company of Meg the Black Cat whilst listening to King Crimson...
Until the Exec Producer awoke and advised, in her capacity as Exec Producer, that 4:50 was too early to be up and about...
Back to bed and lay awake, still listening to Crimso and, rather predictably, despite having taken painkillers, a headache made its way into my head...
Up again around 6:20 and more juice and painkillers...
By 7, I was ready to start work...
I am revising the covers for the seven song-based CBQ CDs and spent around three hours on this, getting the majority of the work done - listening to the CDs as I worked...
Out for rolls and a tasty brunch involving bacon ensued...
Despite the effects of the postal strike, awaited e-bay items arrived...
The new album from Rheostatics' Dave Bidini from Canada and a DVD from China of Frederic Rzewski...
The Bidini CD is superb and strongly recommended...
A quick look at the DVD later in the day showed the contents to be much more tuneful than that presented to Dr Prog and I when we saw Mr R around the same time as this recording was made in the States...
Into town and walked from Charlotte Square up to the library on George IV Bridge, where I handed back the booty from three weeks ago and partook of a 3CD anthology of middle period Hawkwind - tasty!
Then to my CD supplier to stock up on discs for current Crispycat burning requirements...
And walked all the way back again to Charlotte Square from where I drove home to allow Anne to head to Tynecastle at 2pm for today's game against bottom of the league Falkirk...
But "Dave", I hear you cry "why no pics of this Great Walk through the rainy windy elements of an Edinburgh Saturday?"...
Well, at some point last night, the Crispycat camera became officially "goosed"...
Here are some pics taken today, including a self portrait, a pic of my feet and a pic of the display on the CD player...
So, I need a new camera, this last having served me well since 24 May 2007 - following the great "pear incident", which did for its predecessor, which, in turn, had served the needs of this blog admirably since 11 January 2006...
The search is on...
As I continued working through the afternoon, Hearts could only manage a 0-0 draw, while the mighty Queens beat the bottom team in their division, Airdrie Utd, 3-0 at home, climbing back up to 3rd place...
In the evening, "Merlin" returned, as did the excellent "The Thick of It", with more cover work in the intervening period whilst Anne enjoyed "Strictly"...
Over the seven song-based CBQ LPs since 1997 I have released 134 tracks lasting a total of 10 hours 6 minutes and 16 seconds...
So there you go...
To bed around 11...
Highlight of the Day : Working on CBQ stuff and a win for Qos...
Anserine = Goose-like...
