"Hey, isn't that the painting from the cover of "Morphinecodex", the new CBQ album?"


"Why, yes it is - and here's the very thing if you want to take a wee listen"...


Out into the sun this morning, post breakfast at home...


A walk from Roseburn to Stockbridge...














...where, after a visit to a couple of shops and having made a purchase, it was coffee time at No 33...

A wayward eyebrow was noted...



Portuguese Custard Tarts became an instant fave at first taste - yum...



My purchase was this Skids collection, for just two of your English pounds - bought for the inclusion of their covers of "Walk on the Wild Side" and "All the Young Dudes"...


Warning : Portuguese Tarts can appear larger than they are...


On the way back, the heron was noted...


...along with some ducks...


...and a combination of the two...


Back home and to work...

An accidental pic of the beast about its business...


Some rearranging was required...


...as Anne added a further coat of paint to the renovated room...


Meanwhile, through the back...


Hmmm...



Getting there, kind of...



With the painting finished, CBQ central was set up again, only temporarily for a week or so though, until the carpet and wardrobes arrive...


...and the back room, took shape...


New music set up...


A good day, notwithstanding a few cuts and bruises from moving stuff around - including a calamitous crashing to the floor from a reasonable height of all five of my external hard drives...

Happily, no harm done it would seem...

Onwards...

Highlight of the Day : A good walk, a Portuguese Tart and sorting stuff out...
