Up early and added the last three of five podcasts of music released in March over the last 50 years to the CBQ Mixcloud account...
And then started compiling tracks for April...
The squirrel was back...
This afternoon, to Tynecastle as a guest of Hearts' head of commercial, old chum Ann Park...
Directors' Box no less and an entertaining day...
This poster illustrated all the old programmes from games between the two sides...
The Queens Chairman, Billy Hewitson presented a commemorative gift to Hearts' chair re winning the Championship with seven games to spare...
Out just before 3pm - a similar view (of the pitch anyway - different stands these days) to that which I enjoyed with my dad back in the late 60's and early 70s, when we often attended Hearts home games together...
Queens formed a guard of honour for the Jam Tarts...
Kick off was held up due to a number of balloons on the pitch - and, no, I don't mean the ref and the linesmen...
You might just be able to spot the Exec Producer and brother-in-law Bobby over in the stand opposite..
1-0 Hearts after just 6 minutes but Queens held their own for the rest of the 1st half...
Back inside noting the trophy cabinet...
Other guests included sprinter Alan Wells (complete with 1980 Olympic Gold Medal) and the former Rangers player Fernando Ricksen, now, tragically, suffering from Motor Neurone Disease - a dreadful situation...
The actor Ken Stott was also in attendance, as were a goodly number of former Hearts players some of whom still work for the club...
I also met former Queens chairman Norman Blount, who remembered me from the times in the past we'd met at Partick Thistle's ground when Queens were visitors there...
The second half proved that Queens were no pushovers but Hearts added to their tally with a freak deflection of a going past the post free kick, sending our goalie the wrong way...
Full time, 2-0 but, with Falkirk and Hibs both also losing, no change from this morning re the play off places and Queens are still hopeful of competing in the final run in for a spot in the top flight...
Although up against the runaway champions, the team was obviously disappointed to have taken nothing from the match...
A well deserved celebration took place after the game, firstly with the Directors, who took over less than a year ago and have made all the difference, taking to the pitch...
...then the championship-romping squad...
...and their manager, Robbie Nielsen - who won a couple of medals whilst on loan at Queens during his playing days...
...seen here with the actor Ken Stott...
Ann Budge is a Hearts heroine indeed...
...seen here sporting a scarf made for her by, and handed in this afternoon by, four schoolchildren...
A quick visit to the Gorgie Suite for Ann P to check how the day went...
A good time appeared to have been had by all, including chum Spike....
A couple of drinks in the company of some Hearts officials and the actor Ken Stott and his partner at the nearby Tynecastle Arms brought the day to a close...
An excellent time had been had - only the result was a disappointment but Queens are no worse off and I did not expect to leave with my team having won any points today...
Met up with Anne and we discovered our usual Indian is closed while moving to new premises...
A more expensive alternative was secured for a tasty meal...
Later, your worn out correspondent conked out during "CSI"...
A good day...
Highlight of the Day : A visit to Tynecastle...
