Aargh! yet another month gone...



Up around 8, late for me on a Saturday...

Breakfast, then to the attic to, at last, add some work to the two paintings started over eighteen months ago...





...and, with muse in overdrive, I added a third...



Spent most of the afternoon working on Crispycat stuff - adding Paypal buttons to the new dedicated websites for each of the eight song-based albums...

Meanwhile Queen of the South were winning a cup tie for the second Saturday in a row - having despatched Albion Rovers from the Challenge Cup last week, this week they thrashed Dumbarton 5-1 in the CIS League Cup...

The Exec Producer was pleased too, as Hearts came from behind to beat Millwall in London 3-2...

Laurie Anderson was listened to on the BBC I-Player - her thoughts on Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians" and Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" - regarding a still, hanged cadaver in a magnolia tree - thanks to a heads up from Count Brodski...

We spent the evening (and the early morning...) at chums' Margaret & Glen's house enjoying an excellent meal and, to be honest, far too much drinking...



Tasty soup, chicken stuffed with black pudding, with mash, carrots and ratatouille, rounded off with a choice of Banoffie Pie or Pavlova - Mmm, mmm...

Also in attendance were Margaret & Glen's chums Gordon and Georgine - with cameo appearances from kids Sam and Chloe, Sam's girlfriend Olivia and Sam's chum Gary...

Late on (very late on) Chloe's guinea pig made an appearance but it was too late in the day for my brain to have had any chance of taking in its name (it's Biggins apparently)...

It was cute though...

Taxi home at 3:30 am, both your correspondent and the Exec Producer very, very much the worse for wear...

Highlight of the Day : Painting again...
