September seen off...

Out slightly earlier than yesterday, for a coincidental second visit to the dentist...

A fine morning...

The berries out...

The sun coming up...

A good church near the dentist...

..and the street where we once lived...

..and one of my favourite Edinburgh towers just after 9 am...

Later, on yet another scorcher - very weird weather right now - I popped to HMV and procured the box set mentioned yesterday...

In the evening, to the newly tidied back room...

...where I enjoyed the first two of the sixteen discs...

As you can see, Meg the Black Cat was also enjoying proceedings - while Annie was getting involved in this year's "Strictly"...

Further listening comprised some German avant garde from a few years back - a day of tunefulness and weirdness...

Call to my mum - Pam out again tonight round at chum Liz's for a girls' night with some further chums and staying the night...

Mum also advised Pam had baked an apple pie on Thursday for a coffee morning this morning, in aid of the MacMillan Cancer Support...

Said pie was purchased and cash was raised...

Last night sister Sheila was round for the evening while mum went out - the siblings spent the evening chatting about this, that and the next thing...

Call too to Count Brodski and a lunch arrangement for tomorrow...

A text to Dr Prog for a meet tomorrow morning at the library, from which I have a seriously overdue Woody Guthrie disc...

Despite copious amounts of Cocodamol and Ibuprofen, the painful shoulder remains and, if anything, is worse than yesterday - I see a sleepless night ahead...

"Outnumbered" and "Fresh Meat" entertained before retiral...

Highlight of the day : A box of music...

Crispycat Latest Release

David Reilly AKA Cloudland Blue Quartet, created his first soundscape, "The Drone Effect" back in December 1977. 46 years later, he finally gave two live soundscape performances, in Edinburgh on 4 November 2023 and in Newcastle on 18 January 2024, playing the 40 minute piece available here on Bandcamp as "Live Suite 2023/24". On 30 August 2024 he premiered a new 40 minute suite for 2024/25 at Fopp in Edinburgh and this piece was performed again at the Switched On Electronic Music Festival in Whitby, Yorkshire on 9 November 2024. This album, "Live Suite 2024/25" was created specifically to be performed at these last two events and, like "Live Suite 2023/24", may well be performed again in the future. Free to Stream/Name Your Price to Download, the download bundle contains the studio mix of the live performance version of "Live Suite 2024/25"

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!
