My 2,850th post...

Idiot!

Up late (8:30) to find more orders and that I was now over 30 CDs behind on the old production line front...

67 CDs and 3 mugs to get sorted...

To work – post a visit to the store for bread – breakfast whilst working...









By 1:30 I was up to date and ready to do some deliveries...

Ended up at mum’s in Loanhead with sister Sheila’s pack - we listened and my family found it to be good...



Home around 3:45 after another delivery...

At 4:30, bang on time, Impossible Songs’ John and Ali arrived for some good chat, some wine and some expertly prepared dinner from the Exec Producer, based around some of the best Sea Bass I’ve tasted...

J & A too received fulfilment of their order...



Ali has a book of poetry and photos out - "Sometimes Sound Stops" – top stuff...

A recent Med trip on a schooner was relived and looked spectacular fun...

At 9, it was time for J& A to make their way home...

At 10, after prepping for five days of this, footie highlights with Annie before hitting the sack reasonably early with a non-red wine intake induced headache...

Highlight of the Day : Visit from John and Ali - always great chat!

Thank you Mr CBQ! We had a lovely time and are both looking forward to diving into the box set. Absolutely sold on that You Tube creation around your interpretation of 'On a Clear Day'. Love your interpretation and also how it has been illustrated. Magic. Ali x

Our pleasure Ali - always great meeting up with you guys...

Glad you like the video...

Completely out of the blue and I still have no real idea as to who did it...
