Saw this on the pavement this morning as I walked down the road...

There must surely be a story behind it but I'll never know...

I was oblivious to the fact I'd forgotten my wallet...

I only realised once I was at a point where a 30 minute walk would be required to remedy the situation - a quick call to the Exec Producer solved the problem as she whizzed down in the Cloudland Blue Mobile to pass the leathery beast to me...

Uptown, Charlotte Square once again awaits its annual post Book Festival repair...

Several calls with my mum today re Pam - she advised no improvement thus far re her speech, if anything, it's worse...

We must remain positive...

Appointments have arrived for two scans in Glasgow on Wednesday - suitable arrangements were put in place...

We will have Pam at Crispycat Towers tomorrow and Sunday - to give both ladies a break!!

A visit to Fopp last thing resulted in another couple of discs of Spohr's string quartets and two solo albums by Peter Hammill entering the collection, along with a second hand copy of a Klaus Schulze concert from 1993 and a compilation of cracking jazz fusion from Brand X...

Consequently, slightly darker today as I passed the cathedral...

Perhaps this is a better view...

...or perhaps this is...

The lurgi returned big style today so the race is on to get them under control by the time we see Pam tomorrow...

In the evening, a fine tea from Annie involved haggis-based beef olives and a tasty tomato-based sauce with mash and asparagus...

Later on, a call with Pam's chum Debbie, who had called Loanhead earlier to speak to Pam but found she'd already retired - a natter with my mum substituted...

The chemo is evidently causing major fatigue...

We will have a first hand handle on matters tomorrow...

"Have I Got News For You" was enjoyed and Derren Brown proving how someone can be programmed to carry out an assassination, without having any recollection of it whatsoever, was fascinating stuff...

Medication taken and off to bed...

Highlight of the Day : Annie's culinary skills...

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!
