A picture today of the wee beastie which often annoys me of a morning as I walk to the back gate to exit the Crispycat garden...

The wee beastie will, on occasions, perhaps overstretched itself a little by attaching part of its web to the overhead washing line, in an ill thought out attempt to capture and eat an overweight human...


Once again, the wee beastie's plans were thwarted as I made it out into the world unscathed, other than having to remove its silk from my unstoppable-by-a-spider face...

Some time today spent with chums at the very swanky Prestonfield House Hotel...

Some time today too in fraught attempts to secure new accommodation for our upcoming trip to Berlin...

Eventual success...

Thunderbirds are, as they say "go!" (once again)...

In the evening, a celebratory re accommodation Chinese Takeaway and some "Big Bang" and further excellent episodes of both "Cuckoo" and "Siblings", the latter providing the best of the series thus far...

And commenced a wee project of producing some 30 minute cloudcasts of music by discoveries made thus far in 2014...
