February 4 - Happy Birthday to the Coop...

Role Model since 1972...

A good day...

Out early and a lift down the hill from the EP, she on the way to the dentist, me walking to Helen the podiatrist's...

Murrayfield (where, later today Scotland would beat Ireland) and, in the distance, the castle....

Post treatment and chat, a bus across town to meet up with the EP...

Breakfast at, new to us, Tiramisu in Easter Rd..

I very much liked the back room...

...as did the EP...

Anne wanted the cappuccino with more chocolate...

Tasty omelette for your correspondent and Anne had something she likes...

In fact, the coffee was so good, I had to have a second...

Anne headed to Jane and Bobby's to watch Hearts beat Motherwell 3-0 away from home...

I walked along Montgomery St...

...and past our first home...

...before meeting up with Dr Prog at the record fair...

...where I saw many LPs I used to own - going for stupid prices...

This Charly re-issue was £15...

This Virgin re-issue £25...

The music is exactly the same...

£7 not bad for this classic but,a s with all of these, they sound so much better on CD...

£25 for this?

...or this?

Nuts...

To be fair, leafing through the albums, there was a strange attraction - surely though just a hankering for days gone by, weirdly conceived as better times - times when it was impossible to carry around tens of thousands of LPs in your pocket...

Suffice to say I acquired a goodly number of CDs (see below) for less than the price of just two of these LPs...

The bespectacled music loving tubes made their way down Leith Walk...

Dr Prog liked his new hat and bag...

Lunch and a chat ensued...

...including two more coffees for Mr CBQ...

...and a look at our ill-gotten gains...

Good times...

A 26 all the way home, as the Hearts game drew to a close...

Rugby tubes were heading for Murrayfield and holding up the traffic...

Back home, a goodly amount of time spent ripping and listening...

A sunny afternoon spent at home...

Anne walked back home (having driven home as I met with Dr Prog and then having walked to Jane and Bobby's)...

"Watching" the Queens game on Twitter - they beat Morton 3-0, consolidating 5th place and looking to get into the play-offs yet again...

This was their first home win in the league since September...

The dreadful run started when we were in London in October, when Morton thrashed them 5-0 - so revenge today was sweet...

After thsi morning's haul, these have entered the collection this week...

Oh dear...

But I refer to my collection as my library because, unlike any unlimited music streaming service, I've curated the collection myself over a period of 47 years and counting...

My first purchase was the 7" of Elvis Presley's "The Wonder of You" in 1970...

In the evening, a Chinese takeaway, the last "Father Brown" and catching up with "No Offence", having done so last night with "Unforgotten"...

Then, more listening, trying to go through the purchases methodically...

Let's see how long that lasts...

To bed with new music in the cans...

Highlight of the Day : New music and footballing victories...
