Not pictured the feeding station birds for a while so here you go...

Another lovely morning...

...which found me at one of Edinburgh's top hotels for some chat on what's going to happen in the world economy over the next couple of years...

Let's just say the word "bleak" might have popped into my head...

This on the way out...

Impressive...

A nip into Fopp and the new Ulrich Schnuauss snapped up...

As you are probably aware, I don't often shell out full price for recently released LPs but I made an exception for this - as I have done this year with just a few others - namely...

David Bowie

Matthew Florianz

Udo Lindenberg

Herman Van Veen

Brian Eno

Marillion

Yello

The Bad Plus

Max Jury

Those, plus Herr Schnauss, will probably be my top ten physical acquisitions of 2016...

Unless...

At home this evening, changing the music on my phone to my Top 50 2016 releases...

Ended the day with "Question Time"...

Superb put down by Dimbleby to the idiotic Sheikh woman - "you don't represent Scotland, you represent the SNP"...

Quite...

Highlight of the Day : New Schnauss...
