Updating the blog - moving along two weeks behind reality re the entries for the holiday...

Out for breakfast to Patisserie Florentin...

Down to Stockbridge and maintaining my stance re not buying any more CDs this month..

Instead...

I bought a couple of books...

Will I read them?

Idiot...

Anne acquired some tasty bread and pate too...

Then a drive to a clothing emporium and some new shirts bought... 

Home, fully intending to sit in the back room listening to some string quartets reading some Gunter Grass (of whom, ironically given today's purchase, a good couple of novels were traded in to Barter Books when we were there earlier this year)...

inevitably though, the internet sucked me in - watching Roger waters' interview on the BBC re his time with Pink Floyd and the reinvention of "The Wall" for the 21st Century...

Pate and bread for lunch as the internet went silly buggers - at least in our house...

Eventually solved - though, as usual, I have no idea what I did to solve it...

More mucking about on iTunes...

Surfing on Youtube re a recommendation from the Prog Rock Stuff blog - moving on to view some Kiss in Zurich - what a show, what a band but, when you strip it all down, pretty mediocre...

Now, the mighty Grand Funk live in'74 was a different kettle of fish - they rocked like Kiss would love to rock...

I imagine most views on Youtube are not of the entire video, people's attention spans being what they are these days re the constant pull of "new stuff" at all times but I watched almost, almost the whole of the Grand Funk show...
In footie Queens pulled off a good away win at Morton and leapfrogged four teams - while Hearts were winning 1-0 in Dingwall with a minute to go, only to lose 2-1...

On Wednesday, they meet in Edinburgh in the League Cup...

In the evening, the weekly Indian takeaway, and I moved back to veggie...

A good documentary on Angela Merkel pointed out the inadequacies of the British political system when compared to that of Germany...

"Mock the Week" was good, while a new sitcom vehicle for Jason Byrne was not...

Two episodes of "Scot & Bailey" were good too...

And that was about it...

Highlight of the Day : New clothes...
