The view from the office this morning around 6:45...


Nice...


Some listening and surfing before heading out, past Mr Bee and Mr Unable-to-be-Captured-In-Focus Spider...


...for some chat and some toe therapy from lovely podiatrist Helen...


Thereafter, an order fulfilled and home for breakfast...


Egg face...


Weird, because neither egg in the pan appeared to have been compromised...


Outside, it was breakfast time for the birds now that Tiger the Cat had gotten bored with hanging around below the feeding station trying got catch them...



Anne was out a-working - I was charged with holding the ladders as I am not a topiarist like the EP...




Good work Mrs Quartet...


Work, for me, was ripping a box of Mozart piano concertos...


Anne and the visiting mother of our neighbour were doing more strenuous things....


Work, for me, was bringing my red book of CDs I've acquired, up to date again...


I went for lunch and we watched a couple of episodes of Danish series "Follow the Money" recorded back in March and April - enjoyable thus far...

Meanwhile, in the garden...

Look to the left...


Look to the right...


Fashion...


Upstairs, tidying continued...


And then, some playing of some very old CBQ songs for the first time in a long time for most...


...and for no particular reason...

A project continued as I tred to determine in exactly which years I bought particular LPs I used to own...

Which was fun...

A few old things given a spin...

Curry for tea accompanied by "New Girl" and "Two Broke Girls" before some more surfing and listening...

Then, Gary Lineker in his pants presenting "Match of the Day"...

He is paid more to present that programme than the BBC pays the Scottish Professional Football League for its television rights...

This is the world we live in...

Queens thrashed newly promoted Ayr 4-1 at Palmerston - Stephen Dobbie got his second goal of the season while Derek Lyle got two, his 98th and 99th as a Queens player - the fourth was by Aussie youngster Lyndon Dykes...

Meanwhile, Anne's beloved Hearts attained a creditable 0-0 draw in Aberdeen...

All round then, a pretty good day during which I did, basically, nothing of any import...

This is how I waste my time...

Highlight of the Day : Busy doing nothing...
