The Exec Producer's birthday and downstairs at 5 to find Meg the Black Cat already singing "Happy Birthday"...

...while Anne slept on...

Out to get some presents and back with plenty of time till Anne awoke..

Presents and cards were well liked...

At lunchtime, "Heimat 3" on 6 DVDs obtained at Fopp for eighteen of your English pounds - it's forty nine on Amazon...

Over St Andrew Square - don't know what this is about...

...to visit Edinburgh's branch of Tiger and purchase an item with CD packaging possibilities...

Home in the gloom...

...and new furniture had arrived...

If there's a box and a cat...

...the cat will go into the box...

Old furniture relegated...

New furniture looking good...

A good birthday for Anne as she attended Hearts v St Mirren at Tynecastle and, for the second time in a row, Hearts won, coming from behind to emerge 2-1 victors...

Meanwhile Queens had two men sent off at Morton, after going a goal up, and managed to hang on till four minutes to go before conceding for a draw - a win would've taken them to fourth in the table...

While watching the scores, I compiled and recorded this week's weekly playlist...

That was it...

Highlight of the Day : Presents for Anne and new furniture...

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
