Further to Anne’s suggestion yesterday, this morning I compiled a disc containing 24 “upbeat” CBQ tracks – giving it the ironic moniker of “Happygolucky”...

Then a trio of new MP3 discs for the car – one comprising almost the total 170 odd tracks of the 10 CD Anthology of the first thirty years of my music making which I compiled a couple of years back, another of classical music I like and a third containing a dozen or so recent albums...

The last of these soundtracked our trip to and from Bearsden with my mum to visit chums Lex and Moira...

We were slightly late in arriving due to unforeseen congestion as we made our way across Glasgow – but were buoyed by tasty home made soup with lashings of French bread while we set the world to rights until the late afternoon...

Anne and I went off to catch the train into Glasgow for the ubiquitous shopping trip – passing through what might be Annie’s homeland...



Visits to Fopp and Missing were rewarded with the snaffling of Miles Davis’ late work, the soundtrack to the film “Siesta” for three of your British squids...

Back at Bearsden, relaxing drinks and more chat were followed by excellent home made fish pie and rounded off with home made apple crumble – made with apples from a neighbour’s tree no less – and coffee and biscuits...

During the evening, Lex regaled us with the tale of just why it is he always has to have a goodly supply of KitKats in the house...



...it was due to their having been considered a bit of a luxury item when he was a youngster visiting an “affluent” aunt...

Meanwhile Moira took delight in pointing at her depleted plate collection...



...depleted due to, post a redecoration effort, it having been the general consensus that there were, frankly, too many plates on the wall...

The quintet chatted into the night before my mum finally called time, reminding us that, once back at Crispycat Towers, she would then have to drive back to Mum Towers...

So we made our way home after another enjoyable trip to the West...

Highlight of the Day : A visit to Lex and Moira’s...
