Up just after seven and writing this up while listening back to next week's podcast...

The EP was up a couple of hours later and, pre breakfast, gave some attention to this, her new machine...


Breakfast at home, I was on duty...






Breakfast was also being enjoyed outside...



Laura Pausini entertained...


...as did today's calendar pic...


...as did (in places) tracks featured in the BBC Radio 6 Music book "Alternative Jukebox" - I have around half the entries...

Some repositioning of the turntable took place...


If you want to know why it is that CD beats vinyl hands down, just listen to the opening of "Turn of the Century", track 2 on this LP...


At 2, took the EP to her mum's re today's Hearts match v Kilmarnock - a scraped 1-0 win with two penalties missed (the goal came from a rebound on the first)...

In Falkirk, Queens were 1-0 up at half time....

Yes, you guessed it, they lost 3-1...

I drove on into town and took a bus down to the Western General, opposite Fettes School...


...these the views from mum's new location...



From the chat of the doc who visited while I was there, she's going to be in for a wee while yet...


Not a well old lady...

In the corridor, some enjoyable abstract art by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham...





Back into town around 4 in the afternoon sun...



In the basement of HMV, two Field Music CDs purchased for £2 each - upstairs, new copies are £6 each...

Justified...



Met Anne and her mum from the football and took Anne's mum home...

To the Indian takeaway as the evening drew in...


They need to learn how to manage expectation - telling walk-ins that it'll take 20 minutes and then having them wait 45 is not good for repeat custom - even if their Lamb Balti is the best in the world...

Three episodes of "Spin", taking us into series 2 were enjoyed, before I retired upstairs for some pre-bed ripping and listening...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Cheering my mum up a bit...
