April away...


A wee visitor this morning...




I did not realise Tiger was actually destroying that mat...

Meanwhile, outside, his brother Fang the Black Cat was also mucking about...





Out to my mum's for lunch...

Noting her garden coming along...








Her legs are going to take a lot longer to heal than first thought...


Plenty of dressing are present in the house for the bi-daily nurse visits...


Back home and the new set up in the back room...


The squirrel enjoyed some grapes as we watched something or other...



Utilising the newly positioned turntable...


...and finished off the ripping of the ex-streaming booty for the end of the month...

Too much new music, frankly...

In the evening, the highlight was, of course, the conclusion of "Line of Duty"..

Superb...

Some bringing of the red book of CDs I own up to date...



Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Squirrel and Cat antics...

A welcome visitor first thing as I published the podcast...


Fang the Black Cat made himself comfortable for a wee while...


I'd been along at Rory Custard's house to give him his breakfast but he was nowhere to be seen...

When I got back home, Fang appeared from nowhere...

Now he left the way he entered...




This wee squirrel kept the animal quotient up though...


Coffee...


...and continuing to add randomly to the collection - this is good...


...and downloading drum type stuff...

Who knows...

Some tidying and re-arranging...


These recent books require space but there is none...


Two years ago today, Count Brodski visited and "laid down" the final tracks for what was to be a new Creek album...

Creeker Craig never got round to mixing it - so I gave my version a wee listen and it was good...

Maybe some day?

Also sent it also to Creeker Stu - in exchange for a cheeky wee soul/funk comp he'd picked up for 50p...

Back along to find Rory Custard - saw some crows but no cats...



...but not Rory Custard...

Out for breakfast with the EP to the Piece Box...


Ooh, pancakes and maple syrup...


..and this wee beauty on the way back to the car...


Back home, Rory Custard located and fed at last...


With Anne off to a frustrating 2-2 draw at Tynecastle with 10 man Partick (Queens also drawing 2-2 away at Falkirk), I did some more re-arranging - inspired by Sid Smith's turntable position to bring mine through in a swap for the never used in this room CD player...


Chose a Pink Floyd bootleg and found this tucked away inside from 1979...


In the evening an Indian from the Raj - good but not quite as good as built up to by brother-in-law Bob last week...

"Dr Who" entertained..

I find the stories themselves to be a bit stupid but some of the chat makes it...

Keeping an open mind...

Meanwhile, what's this?


The return of Fang the Black cat...





Kind of like the old days...


Fang with pretend Meg...




As we started watching the next saved story over two episodes of "Arne Dahl", Fang exited...


No doubt, he'll be back...

Lights out...
