To Anne’s mum’s for 8am to take her to the bus station to start her holiday up North…


Pain au raisins secured at Patisserie Florentin on the way home…

Some preparation of early song-based albums re versions to be posted up onto Bandcamp shortly

Then, a drive to Dundee…







Freezingness necessitated a hat purchase…

On our way to the Dundee Contempoary Arts Centre, we happened to pass Groucho's…



Of course I had to go in…


A 5CD set of Herr Haydn’s first 20 symphonies was procured for just 10 of your English pounds…


On to the DCA...



 and an exhibition kind of enjoyed, prior to...






...coffee and scones, which were much enjoyed…




Back out into the cold and a walk to the Discovery, the ship which took Captain Scott’s first expedition to the Antarctic over a hundred years ago…































A fascinating and very educational and informing exhibition indeed – well worth the entry fee…

It was the equivalent of going to another planet at the time…

A short drive to St Andrews and scenery enjoyed…




Tea at the Tailend fish bar in the main street...


...followed by a purchase of bread at chum Raymondo’s brother’s bakery outlet…


Back home around 7 and more work carried out, followed by “Jonathon Creek” and “Broadchurch” before hitting the sack…

Highlight of the Day : Road trip…
