Up at 6 after a, frankly, dreadful night with very little sleep - I kept dreaming I was the astronaut in the film "Moon"...

I don't recall what on earth I was doing at 6 - I think just listening to some old music and surfing the net...

An appointment with Helen the Podiatrist at 8:45 was attended on time - my last scheduled session...

Then, into town to return the CDs borrowed three weeks ago (already!!)...

I wasn't intending taking anything else out but quickly picked up box sets by The Move and Henry Cow...

A swift trip over to Falko Konditorei resulted in brioches and rye bread entering Crispycat Towers...

Home around 10 for breakfast followed by some tasty music from The Move and Henry Cow of course...

Rye bread for lunch topped with tasty coleslaw, tomatoes and cheese before Anne headed out for Hearts V Dundee Utd (0-0 with Qos beating Morton 2-1 to stay second)...

Then, a compilation of Depeche Mode singles post 1998 was put together before heading off down the road on foot to meet up with fellow Creeksters Craig and Stu for our trip to Glasgow to see the Mode in concert tonight...

We arrived at our parking slot around 4:30 and headed to the station for the short trip into the centre...





Creek lives!



It was bitterly cold as we whiled away the time around the shops in the town centre without a single purchase being made...

Anne arrived by train around 6 and we sought sustenance at "Chopstick" the noodle bar on the corner of Renfield and Argyll streets - and very tasty it as too...

A five minute train trip took us back to the SECC and we were soon in our seats awaiting the evening's entertainment...



The gig itself was excellent - I must admit to not being fully au fait with the entire DM back catalogue but I knew the majority of the songs - the lighting and video screens were spectacular too...

I was won over...



As ever though, we were blighted by idiots around us - in particular a strange family of four in front of us...

The daughter watched almost the entire performance through the screen of her I-Phone while the young son seemed to be in an inappropriate relationship with his mother - which had obviously involved much tutoring in the music and lyrics of the Mode...

Not content with child rearing crimes, the mum also had, officially, the worst sense of rhythm on the planet when it came to clapping along to the music...

And she insisted on standing up at every opportunity, despite having paid £10 extra for a seat with a perfect view..

My own expensive view was therefore blocked almost continuously by her rhythmically challenged appendages...

Not to worry - in the end it was more funny than annoying and a great night's entertainment was enjoyed by all until, all too soon, it was over...



Craig delved in deep at the merchandise stall, and spent a small fortune...



He was a very happy man though, having waited 25 years to see this band play in Scotland again...



A quick stop for some refreshing juice and we were off back through the fog to Edinburgh in the Stumobile...

A very enjoyable day...



Highlight of the Day : Enjoy the Silence, Personal Jesus, In My Room, It's No Good, Walk in My Shoes etc etc...
