Up early and enjoying the sounds of Mr Feldman once again as I compiled a ten track sampler of the artists announced so far for this year's Denovali Festival in London in April...

Sounds like it's going to to be a rewarding two days...

Tidied up the desk...


Out for croissants and, on my return, while we watched last night's two episodes of "The Bridge", Meg the Black cat found a new place...



Meanwhile, out the front window...


..a robin visited...


A donation to Cancer Research allowed some useful wooden boxes, once used to transport wine, to enter the house and some time was spent initiating a reorganisation of the back room...

Then, to my mum's to pick her up and on out to Penicuik for a fifteen attendee Sunday lunch type scenario - which also involved two dogs......


There was much trying on of glasses for no apparent reason...





...and good chat...


After a splendid meal prepared by sister Sheila, games were played - later, "Uno" but, first, "Tumbling Monkeys"... 




Young Kerr and his dad both enjoyed it - as did the other monkeys at the table...




Later, Andy demonstrated his balancing skills...


All in all, a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon and evening - hopefully we'll do it again soon...


We took mum home around 7:45 and were home ourselves with 40 minutes to spare before "The Three Musketeers" - which I think will be a staple for Sunday nights over the coming weeks...

The reorganising continued...


...followed by an update of this and, once again, the weekend had gone...

A good one though...

Highlight of the Day : Time with the family...
