Up at seven and working on the music - mostly just listening...

Transferred recently received pics of Pam to the SD card and down to Tesco...

...to print them as a surprise for my mum (re Mothers' Day)...

Drove to Loanhead and delivered them - she was delighted...

On departing, I noticed my little starling friend again...

...who flew off just as I started snapping...

A lovely day as I drove home...

In the afternoon, with Anne off to Chris-with-a-ch's place to watch Hibs v Hearts (2-2) (yesterday Queens returned to Partick Thistle and, this time, "gained" a nil-nil draw to stay 4th), I remained zu Hause and mucked about with the templates of this here diary...

On Anne's return, we drove to Roseburn and picked up brother-in-law Keith - post his having watched the footie in a bar with chums - and ferried him home to Leith...

...where we were joined for Mothers' Day by Anne and Keith's mum, Keith's step daughters Rebecca and Abbie...

..and lovely wife, Maureen...

Keith had prepped the meal before departing for the football - and we enjoyed smoked mackeral pate, fish pie with broccoli and, his signature dish, Lemon Posset with fresh rasperries...

Tasty...

He also had the courage to background post meal coffees with the rather out-there sounds of Mr Ornette Coleman...

Not sure if it was Coleman's parping which resulted in this hilarity, probably not...

I surmised Keith may well also enjoy the music of Happy Apple (who are big fans of Ornette) and so decided to burn him an introductory compilation...

Off home with Anne's mum just after eight...

"Waking the Dead" and "Sportscene" prefaced more mucking around with blog templates, then bed just before midnight...

Highlight of the Day : Fish based delights from brother-in-law Keith...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
