Shiny shiny, shiny coat of leather...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Twenty Four Paintings
Shiver - Shiver #1

Meg was on good form again first thing...



A day spent in the house working on the new CBQ album...

Two further pieces created and two existing pieces amended into four, taking the total up to twenty two of a planned twenty four...


Total time, 15 hours 44 minutes 7 seconds...

Also working on the formatting of the book of paintings...

That took all day from around 6:30 in the morning till around 5 in the afternoon (by which time Queen of the South had beaten Count Brodski's Alloa 3-0 in Alloa and Hearts had lost once again to go 15 points adrift at the bottom of the premiership)...

At five we headed into town by bus to meet up with said Count and Lady Penelope for a night of eating, drinking and carousing...

To The Merlin in Morningside - fine for a pre-meal drink but not the best bar in the world...

Good company though and that's what kind of makes it...

To Nonna's Kitchen for dinner - and a surprise when we were shown to our table - seated alongside us was none other than Capital Model Mr Jamieson Frain and his lovely wife Susie...

What a coincidence - they were off to the cinema this evening...

Tasty food - for your correspondent and the Count smoked haddock and potato soup followed by creamy spicy sausage pasta - mmm, mmm...


A walk down to Tollcross and into The Black Bird Bar...

Tres chic...



Love Parade 2013...





The Black Bird ceiling...


Out onto the street around 1am or so and two young students engaged us in conversation...


Connie and Zack - looking for a some cheap drinks - the Black Bird was probably not the best place for them then...

More walking on down to Princes St and a big moon over the tram wires...


Night bus home noting Alan's splendid Vivienne Westwood leather coat and blue corduroy trousers...

He is a lover of the trendy clothes indeed - looking good...

Lights out feeling a little the worse for wear...

highlight of the Day : Out with chums...
