Breakfast at home...


Meg the Black Cat wanted my egg roll...


She nearly succeeded but was thwarted by some nifty handling on your correspondent's part...


Meanwhile, the moon was out...


...as were the flowers...


Single bee doing its rounds, not pictured despite several attempts...


Later, a walk from Roseburn...


...along the water of Leith...


How did this get in there?




The tennis club at the site of my last gig to date - now six months or so ago - over fifteen since CBQ appeared "onstage"...


Onwards...


A grey (even though it's yellow) wagtail spotted...


Onward...


A new view thanks to a very slight detour...


Down onto the river for the first view of the newly cleaned up St Bernard's Well...






...gifted to the city by Mr William (not Willie) Nelson...


People don't seem to do that much anymore...


A totally un-needed book of writings on Pop music bought at the Age Concern shop for a squid then a much-needed coffee...


A browse around with nothing further bought, before we headed back, spotting the resident Heron fishing in a small waterfall...



Lunch at home...


Mmm, Apple Danish...


...also enjoyed by an ant...


Some considerable time spent actually finishing the "Albums of the Year" project...


Now all on the recently re-found 32GB stick for the car...

Around seven, a lift from Count Brodski to Castle Brodski for an evening of fun with Alan and Penny...


Prosecco on the balcony...


...before a tasty meal...


...the prep for which also included much wafting of towels in the vicinity of an overactive smoke alarm...


Salmon fillets in a Hollandaise sauce with samphire and potatoes...

Very tasty...


As the light faded...


..the much vaunted Love Parade 30 year re-boot was rehearsed for in the newly prepared kitched...


An eleven year ago art festival was commemorated...


...and pudding was awaited...


Ta-dah!  Home made giant Lemon Meringue Pie...

...with sparklers...



And then, to the living room for drinks, chat and music - Alan's choices coming in for a bit of a slagging from the ladies...





I was ok with it...


At 2, things were getting silly...



Back home around 3, ditto...


To bed - good day...

Highlight of the Day : A visit to Castle Brodski...
