Up early and writing up this and responding to more e-mails of love and support for Pam...

Into town to meet up with Dr Prog...

Accompanied today by the Exec Producer and so, in her capacity as Exec Producer and being in a captive environment (the Cloudland Blue Mobile) she was given her first full hearing of the proposed new LP...

It was declared "not go-ey" and one track in particular, "All is Fine", one of my favourites, was deemed "dreary"...

Hmm...

Parked amongst leaves...



...and walked over to the library...















...playing hide and seek on the way...





Met with Dr Prog and we both borrowed more music than we need...

Then to a nearby Turkish coffee bar...





...where sustenance was enjoyed and a natter was undertaken...

Two cafetieres of coffee and second order of cakes later, we bade the Doc a fond farewell and returned to the car...





...and home to Crispycat Towers, noting the progress of the non-tree destroying emergency vehicle access path...



...and the various very expensive and very close together houses...

After some rehearsing for the latest upcoming gig - a house concert on 2 December - it was into the hospital to visit sister Pam...

She took a while to wake from her slumber but was soon in good form...

She enjoyed all the messages of love and support I'd taken along and given to her and sent a big smile in return to all her friends from near and far...



In the evening, forgetting my camera, we drove down to Leith to brother-in-law Keith and lovely wife, Maureen's for a very tasty tea, enjoyed with stepdaughters Rebecca and Abbie and their respective boyfriends, Murray and Ryan...

John Coltrane soundtracked the meal - as did Steely Dan...

Retiring to the living room, a relaxing evening was very much enjoyed to the sounds of Mr Wonder followed by Murray's mix disc promoting his club night, "Soundburger" - mucho rare funky vinyl (ironically on a CD) featuring Peruvian pressings of never before heard of Portuguese bands...

Very entertaining...

Back home just after midnight and off to bed, noting Meg the Black Cat has developed a limp - reason, as yet, unknown...

Highlight of the Day : Meet ups with Dr Prog and Keith and family...
