A relaxing day mostly with the lurgi on the cusp of being vanquished (till the next time)...

October down...



Early on some sorting of the setlists for the upcoming gig, in light of the various instrumental permutations open to us as a trio now that Jim can no longer take part...

Last night's "Big Bang" and "Drifters" entertained...

In the afternoon, a solo rehearsal, playing along to the rehearsal tapes...

This was worked around a visit to Anne's mum's to deliver the photos of her recent Irish trip, her supervisation of the tweaking of which took place at Crispycat Towers a couple of weeks back...

In the evening, to Jane and Bobby's and, from there, to Keith and Maureen's for a great evening of lovely wine/gin, very tasty food, top sounds and good chat...

The siblings...


Bob fobbing off the paparazzi...


A giant plate of sweet potato and carrot mash - yum...


Lamb - also yum...


Not pictured were the curried prawn on bread starter and the fruit crumble sweet...

Double yum...

A drink induced display of glasses trying on pics on Bob's phone took place...



,,,before mine were tried...


Keith's music choice also entertained - Elton, Bowie and Miles Davis...


Some Schoenberg and Debussy has been requested from the CBQ library...

On the way home, Bobby failed miserably to get his phone to link to the car via Bluetooth - let down by tech - as Jane and Anne coped admirably with the nonsense chat emanating from the rear seats...

Bob's in the market for a smartwatch apparently...

it's like living in an episode of "Thunderbirds" these days...

Back home, some further listening...


...before hitting the sack around 1 or so...

Highlight of the Day : Family night out...
