Up around 6:45 and, instead of standing at the computer for a couple of hours whilst listening to the candidates for the weekly podcast, I went out for a walk for an hour or so whilst listening to the candidates for the weekly podcast...

Back garden looking good...



...wayward eyebrows not so much...


Weather not quite up to yesterday's standards - yet...


A look round Tesco...


...and through the village...



...and back up the hill...


...coffee at home...


...as Anne emerged for breakfast...




I am a fan of eggs mixed with tomatoes...


With Anne off to collect some new curtains and do some other stuff, I headed into the attic...


...and set up some of the equipment now stored up there...


...and recorded some stuff...


...including the use of a drum machine which had not been switched on for over 13 years...


...which fellow Creeker, Stu Cobley opined was a bit like me...

Harsh...

And I would say this pic, taken later, in the back garden, of a man who is averse to bright sunlight, proves him categorically wrong...


Some reading in said garden...


Then, noting the two week old camera seemed goosed, a trip down to PC World...

My last pic with the fortnight camera...


...and my first pic with the fourth of these since the original purchase in December - it's now £50 dearer than when I bought it...

Luckily, I took out the insurance...



A light tasty curry for tea and the last three episodes of this series of "Person of Interest", due in part to the "Musketeers" having been postponed in order to accommodate a tribute to Muhammed Ali, who died this morning...

Some tidying...


...and listening to some of the over 11 days worth of the almost 23 days worth of music acquired so far this year, which, to date, has remained unsampled by my ears...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Setting up the gear...
