September gone - 2017 is flashing past...

Out early to Helen the Podiatrist, where the forgetting of a PIN seemed to signal onset of something not good - but, it turned out to be a case of sausage fingers, as confirmed later at the bank...

These the views as we went from the car thereto...

...and back...

On, to Easter Rd for a dental appointment for the EP - your correspondent made three purchases for £2 in nearby Heart and Cat charity shops...

Then, a tasty breakfast at a wee Italian place...

Back home briefly and then over to my mum's to pick her up and take her to Paisley for a long postponed due to being hospitalised visit to her old chum Pat...

A lovely day...

We left the ladies to chat and took a train into Glasgow...

With Anne off shopping for things she likes, I was soon approaching Otago Lane...

...where a further 17 discs were procured for just £17, making it 20 in all for the day at just £19 the lot - a good haul - including a goodly number of promos from both the Rune Grammafon and Hubra labels...

Back to the subway under threatening skies...

...meeting the EP again - after a quick look in Fopp (no more purchases), the train back to Paisley - checking the scores, we found Hearts had been beaten by a last minute goal at Dundee, while Queens were leaving Inverness with a point in the bag after a goalless draw which they appear to have dominated...

Another two points dropped then...

Back to Pat's...

...where an excellent tea was followed by mum trying out a Russian zimmer, which once assisted the 12 years gone gadget man, Pat's husband Charlie...

We left around 8:30 and had mum home around 9:45...

A drive home and the ripping commenced as Anne caught up with Strictly...

Tiger visited again tonight and decided to stay, sleeping for a good while on his brotehr Fang's dining room chair...

Eventually, the wee man had to be escorted out the window and into the night...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : New music purchases...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
