A reasonably packed Saturday took my mind off today's anniversary...
Up early and some work at the computer, wiping the phone again and adding my favourite CDs bought so far this year...
What with the three multiple disc sets of piano music, I've ended up with just 25 titles - but the music is very good indeed...
Took a drive down to Queensferry in the new car to test it out re road noise and music reproduction capabilities...
Excellent on both counts it has to be said and a nippy beast driving and control-wise...
I will not be getting a job at "What Car?" any time soon...
The phone bluetooths into the system and I took my first hands free call - from the EP wondering where I was...
Home for breakfast...
Then, some work on transferring the 75 or so albums by my fave artists recently selected, plus recent acquisitions, onto a 16GB micro-sd card, which slots into the SatNav to provide onboard music without using the phone via blutooth...
I only stumbled across this whilst reading a couple of reviews on the car and thinking "we don't have that?" when, in fact, we do...
I text from Creeker Stu suggesting a meet up - he was on his way up from Kelso...
Duly arranged - a meet at Loanhead, while Anne headed into town to meet with Stu's sister Lesley and chum Michelle for an LLL (long, leisurely lunch)...
Creek ended up at Ikea, as we too wanted some lunch...
This was duly partaken of and followed by coffee...
... and a cheeky wee cake each...
Good chat, with Stu making me aware of two interesting people of whom I was not previously aware, Rory McEwen and Daniel Johnston...
He expressed surprise that I'd heard of neither...
There was much talk of Creeking and various software we use - music boy stuff - and Stu played me a wee experiment he's been working on using the word "Practitioner" - which he may well soon be...
When I got to my mum's she was less than impressed with someone using the word "Practitioner" in an experimental music stylee...
Not really...
Cheeky monkey...
Good chat and she asked if I'd featured her recently decorated dining room and kitchen on here - I replied I hadn't but would now, so here you go...
Back into Edinburgh arriving at "the Saturday place" around 3:30..
...and a walk to the library...
...where last time's items were returned and these were borrowed...
Changeable skies and weather today - this or pelting rain showers were the order of the day...
Past the museum on Chamber St where many a Saturday afternoon in the early to mid seventies was spent after having bought some LPs at Cockburn St Market...
Back to the car, past the original University building...
A look round the plethora of charity shops in the area where our own second shop used to be...
This was picked up at Age Concern for just one of your English pounds - if you're in the right mood, this is gorgeous...
The car, parked under a tree, had been shat upon copiously by birds...
Elisabeth Scwarzkopf eased the disappointment and it turned out the rain on the way home washed it all away...
An evening of my music - playing through 25 songs on the acoustic - other new music and telly, with the return of the now cancelled "Atlantis" - enjoyable hokum - and "CSI"...
A little bit of footie highlights then adding hit singles from when I was 13/14 to the car SD card for tomorrow's trip to Dumfries with Anne and 13 going on 14 year old nephew Olly for Queens v Falkirk...
Lights out...
Highlight of the Day : New car is good...
