Thinking about the future now that the last LP it is out into the world...


There is another set of soundscapes "in the can" and kind of ready...

And I have an idea for 2015 which will be reasonably time consuming - along with continuing work with Andy and Keith (and, hopefully Jim), new work hopefully with Creeksters Craig and Stu and who knows what else may arise - I might even write a song...

Breakfast at home... 



...but not these...


...although Xmas chocolate was later partaken of...


"Dr Who : Last Christmas" was watched without high hopes, given the substandard nature of previous Xmas specials, "The Waters of Mars" notwithstanding...

This, however, was one of the best episodes of "Dr Who", never mind Xmas special episodes, I've seen...

Top notch science fiction indeed - even with the presence of Santa...

Some experimentation with the new pocket camera...













...and then off to Jane and Bobby's for Boxing Day and presents distributed...

Hobbit...


Necklace...


Footie...


Kitty and Anne were also guest photographers with the new machine...









...and Kitty also reminded me of the panorama effect on the iPhone...



Puddings were top...





Some retro presents had been brought by Santa to the Gourlay household, including a record player for Bobby and a Polaroid type camera for Kitty...


Granny Mary was also recording the day...


A quiz post a superb Xmas meal - some ducks had met their maker, sadly....

Kitty and Olly took it in turns to be quizmasters...


Kitty is nothing if not inventive...



...while Olly comes out with answers which are so obviously wrong but said with such confidence that you might almost believe them to be right...


We headed home just before ten but not before Kitty had given me a tour of her presents...








Monkey...

Home by bus and picking the car up tomorrow...

Sleeping on the sofa to Bryan Ferry before hitting the sack...

Highlight of the Day : Dr Who and Boxing Day bash....
