A day soundtracked, in the main, by string quartets...

This included my home-compiled 14CD history of the genre...

All in all, I sampled Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, Shostakovitch and Cage...

A lovely day...

A walk at lunchtime...

The beast was about its business I...

In the early evening, a meet up with the Exec Producer...

She'd had had the excellent idea of visiting "Botanic Lights", the night installation currently on show at the Botanical Gardens...

Here are a few pics - best of a huge bunch...

We were invited to explore...

This, a projection on jets of water - clever...

More lights on water - Anne's fave of the evening...

Marshmallows for the kids - of which there were plenty - kids I mean...

Wish ribbons...

The EP I...

Luminous strings...

This was the best exhibit for me - house projection...

The final descent to the exit...

The city in the distance...

"Mr Khan" was rubbish really, "Have I Got News For You" was good and "Still Game" up to the standards...

Then, some listening to stuff on Jorg's hard drive, with a few judicious choices making their way into iTunes...

Hit the sack with Hawkwind on the nutphones...

Highlight of the Day : Lights in the dark...
