Up at 5:30 or so and back to work on the Bach compilation...





Done and out at 9:30, with Anne set to do some painting...

Best day of the year so far I think, weather-wise...



I was stopping to take pics along the way...





Down past the zoo...


...and on...


...past Anne's mum's...


..and Murrayfield...




..and the chiropodist's...


...to the place from which I usually take the bus home...





...to Haymarket, one hour in...


..and some revelers were up and out early...


...past the cathedral...


..and the clock tower...



...over towards Lothian Road...


...the Usher Hall...


...the Lyceum...


...the Castle...


..and down through the Grassmarket...



...up Victoria Street...




...to my goal, after 90 minutes' walk, for a meet with Dr Prog...


Discs were borrowed and, indeed, a few discontinued items were bought at 60p a pop...

Back out into the sun...


...and back through the Grassmarket...


The doc wangled some cash...


...and we ended up at Lovecrumbs for coffee and cake...



...and technology...






A quick nip into McAllister Matheson...

I was attracted to this 10 disc box of goodies...


...but bought it later at home from Amazon for £9 less...

Of course, I won't get to hear it now for about a week...

Bade farewell to the Doc after an excellent couple of hours of chat and laughs and non-laughs...

Back to Haymarket - still destroyed by the tram...


..and on...


...to my usual bus stop...


There were three buses at the terminus...


...and a fourth arrived...


Good skies still...


...and I arrived back home...




Who's this?


The pie...


She had been under a bush till I arrived, while Anne's painting was finished...


The recently order Tangs disc had also arrived and was enjoyed with more coffee...


...while Meg looked on...



The remainder of the afternoon was spent listening to new acquisitions...

In the evening, the European (how can it be) Champions' (when the two finalists are German -yay - and more than one country has had several teams in it) League Final was watched, with the end being foregone in favour of a very good indeed David Bowie documentary...

Off to bed around 1 am - a long, enjoyable day...

Highlight of the Day : Long walk and David Bowie...
