Another lovely day...


...soundtracked by the freshly added phone content...


The beast etc pt 362...


The Cathedral I...



The Cathedral II...


At lunchtime, a walk up to McAllister Matheson Music...


...past the Usher Hall, noting Nietzsche's quote "Without music, life would be a mistake"...


...and some interesting upcoming concerts, which, no doubt, we will not attend...


Spent half my World Cup winnings on a 60CD Box Set of recordings from the Sony imprint, Vivarte...
Sadly for McAllister Matheson, although their copy of the generously filled box was reduced to £72, Amazon were selling it for a preposterous 50% of that, around 50p a disc...

Such differences illustrate the plight of record shops today...

In the evening, Anne was out walking across the Braids with chum Teresa and Teresa's friendly wee labrador...

Back at Crispycat Towers, your correspondent enjoyed one episode of "Big Bang" and kept one eye on tonight's European match between Glasgow Celtic and one of six clubs based in Reykjavik - winning 1-0 with a very late goal, after dominating the match...

During this I enjoyed some relaxing classical music and ended the day with Steve Hackett's very well recorded and very enjoyable but ultimately pointless almost perfect (the histrionic vocals on "Blood on the Rooftops" ruin that particular track) covers of early Genesis music (1971-1977)...

Exec Producer home around 11 after a very good night out...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : A new box...
