Celebration turns to sadness...

Playlist
Various - Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection 2017 Vol 32

Up early and put together the second part of the podcast and that soundtracked the day..

At lunchtime, a pop by the BHF shop resulted in tasty 2CD set of reggae entering the collection for 3 quid...



A few drinks in the early evening celebrating young chum Hugo heading off to South Africa, then back to University in Glasgow - a big Kraftwerk fan despite being just 21...

Heading home at 7...

Home with some chips and getting sucked back into Corrie re its seeming return to comedy - which suits it better - it really shouldn't try to be the grim and dire Eastie...

What's this?


As we'd entered the house, we were followed in by the neighbourhood scroungers Tiger and Fang...


A pair of irresistible wee cuties...



But, but...

Some very sad news late on that old chum Gavin Calder had passed away this afternoon while out on the golf course...

Parallels to the dreadful loss of Jamie Frain three years ago...

That bloody golf seems to do for my chums...

Gav was one of the nicest guys I've ever known...

He'd only retired last December...


Eight months of freedom...


He will be much missed...


R.I.P. big man...
