Beautiful crisp day...

To the gym at 10 after spending some time updating the Crispycat website and formulating a missive re the upcoming performances...

Tivo'd telly in the form of "Law & Order : Criminal Intent" and "Law & Order : UK"...

Some repairs in the bathroom...

A rehearsal of the set...

To Anne's mum's for tea, where Ollie and Kitty were making chocolate brownies...

...in celebration of step niece Abbie's upcoming 16th birthday...

Here she is having just blown out the candle and sent icing sugar into the air...

Back home for another rehearsal...

The weekend almost closed with some Webern string quartets from the complete works box set I have…


As I listened though, my eyes scanned the bookshelf and I was drawn to see what Brian Eno did on 17 October 1995 from his “Diary With Swollen Appendices”…

Not that much but, a couple of days later, he was cooking pancakes with his daughters and they listened to “Laid” by James…

With the Webern String Quartet finished I took my copy of “Laid” from the shelf and gave it a listen, whilst reading Eno’s re-master liner notes on the recording of said album and the accompanying set,. “Wah Wah”…

I was soon joined by Meg the Black Cat and then by Anne for a nice end to the weekend…

Highlight of the Day : Law and Order...
