She was indeed a mischievous soul, loved and, now, still, missed by many...

A night out had been in the offing until the situation with Wee Dougie this week and, indeed, the onset of my own lurgi - great news today that he has been discharged and is on his way home to Yorkshire - he will return for Christmas... 

News today that sister Sheila and husband Senior are now both down with the viral infection which ailed the wee man...

A call to my mum - she is ok with matters and I will see her on Sunday morning...

Listening today, I had this year's podcasts on shuffleplay and what should come on but the episode recorded just after the death of Keith Emerson...
