The moon was up...

..as I set out early...

On Princes St at 8 - a bit too early for a dental appointment...

A browse in HMV and then the bus down to Easter Road....

I always sit in the disabled seat if I can, as I hate people sitting beside me...

I have been known to get off the bus and get the next one if someone gets on with a pram and I have to give the seat up...

I am not weird...

Bright and cold in Easter Road...

And a good walk after the check up...

Another walk at lunchtime - a new route...

...along Dalry Road to replenish CD stocks re the new album - still available, you know...

There are also many, many charity shops in this area and, in Save the Children, I picked up a 2CD set of Iron & Wine rarities ""Around the Wheel" (which I already had on the hard drive having borrowed it a couple of years back from the library)...

And a disc of difficult oboe quartets and quintets by English composers from the first half of the 2oth Century - exactly my cup of tea - an excellent disc...

Meanwhile, The Pie has a problem...

She has to have blood tests done re a thyroid problem and, while these are not usually problematic, this time she's taken to licking around the shaven patch and so we have to try and stop this...

A collar was applied...

...it was not liked...

We tried it the other way...

...it was not liked...

...it was removed...

Such are the trials of the pie...
