A cheeky wee visitor in the garden this morning...

It's Rory Custard, no doubt looking for some small birds to snaffle...

An uneventful day and home in the not quite so dark these days...

...as cars sped by...

...at the top of the hill...

In a big parcel handed in to the neighbours and collected, six new classical CDs (ought to have been seven but one box was empty - a replacement is on its way)...

Music for two harpsichords - from Gaspard Le Roux and J C Bach to Bela Bartok...

Two complete works for small ensemble by Ned Rorem - my first Rorem disc...

Experimental electronic music from the turn of the century, created by nine composers on US University campuses - weird...

Two symphonies, some piano music some songs and sketches based on Mahler from German composer Detlev Glanert - on Wergo's Edition Zeitgenossiche Musik...

Rutgers Wind Ensemble - includes an entire symphony by Paul Hindemith...

...and Mozart, Schubert and Stravinsky piano duos, played by Argentinians Argerich and Barenboim, live in 2014 at the Berliner Philharmonie...

We've been there...

Anne was out watching Hearts beat Inverness 2-0 while Queens inflicted the third defeat in three games on a hapless and, it must be said, very unlucky Hibernian...

Win ugly indeed...

Took the opportunity to record episode 10 of the Eclectic Selection podcast series, before volume nine's even been uploaded...

Ahead of the Game...

Ended the day with another good episode of Tuesday fave, "Holby City"...

Highlight of the day : A win for Queens and new weird music...
