Trying to keep it normal...

Up at 3:30 – couldn’t sleep...

Outside, it was snowing...



Spent some considerable time listening to my current list of top ten albums of 2011 whilst leafing through next week’s and the Xmas Special editions of Radio Times – ringing programmes I will most probably never watch...

Back to bed at 6:30...

Awoken again just after 8 by a call from Brisbane...

Spoke with Oz chum Ryan in real time for the first time – he’d called to offer his condolences re Pam...

At 10, out to the library through the snow...



...where we met with Dr Prog and I borrowed three 5CD boxes, Todd Rundgren, Warren Zevon and Sly & The Family Stone...

To Ali Bongo’s for coffee, sandwiches and cakes and chat...



Home via the fishmonger's...



...and the Queens Hall having secured tickets for tomorrow’s candlelit concert at Greyfriars Kirk...

Lovely flowers delivered...





A call to my mum re the details to be sorted for Pam’s funeral...

Then some time spent re-recording some of the vocals for the new LP and some work on the new piece from yesterday...

Tasty Sea Bass for tea and listening to music while Anne watched “Strictly” – then “Merlin” and a Woody Allen film, “Vicky Christina Barcelona”

All in all, a strangely “normal” day...

Highlight of the Day : Keeping it together...
