Various - Last 12 Months CDs on Shuffleplay
Up around seven and to the PC for further tweaking of the blogs...
Out at 8:45 for a 9:10 appointment for my bi-annual eye test...
Slight stigmathingummy in my left eye but nothing too serious - I can continue with my reading glasses for the time being...
I am promised e-mails of the fascinating pictures taken of the inside of each my eyes...
To FOPP to meet up with Dr Prog - blue skies on Rose St...
Several CDs were carried around the shop by your correspondent, including collections by The Isley Brothers, Sly and the Family Stone and Gil Scott-Heron - in the end though, just one title was purchased as, on spec, I partook of Field Music's self titled 2009 double CD (double even though the total time of the enclosed music would fit on one disc)...
I can advise this is excellent music with shades of XTC, Gentle Giant and 10cc - not sure if that's an attraction for you of course...
The Doc went off to collect his armband for next weekend's High Voltage Festival in London - we're spending four days down there and I bought my ticket yesterday - an offer from Orange allowed me in fact to secure two weekend tickets for the price of one - shame then that Dr Prog bought his in January or some outlandishly early date...
If I can sell my spare in London, all well and good, if not, no harm done...
The good doctor got me a beauty when we met up after he'd been away at Ticketmaster - advising me the event had been cancelled less than 24 hours after I'd shelled out £135...
Apparently my face was a picture...
Cheeky Dr Prog...
We popped into the Scottish National Gallery of Art at the foot of the mound for a small exhibition by Geoff Uglow...
You can actually still smell the paint from these works...
We were suitably impressed and his work sparked a good discussion as we made our way up to the music library, where I borrowed two discs which, upon listening on the way home in the car, were rather disappointing - plus a 4CD set of Indian classical music for chum Spike's restaurant...
Bidding farewell, till Friday, to the Doc, I made my way home, lunching with Annie then listening to Field Music...
...before we set about putting up a new mirror in the bathroom...
Mission accomplished...
The early evening was spent watching Francois Truffaut's 1964 film "The Soft Skin" - very enjoyable tale of infidelity, stupidity and broken-hearted revenge...
The last in the current (well 2006 anyway) series of "Law & Order" ended a busy day...
Highlight of the day : My eyes are, generally, in good nick after 51 years of use...
