The last morning of feeding Rory Custard...




He's a wee cutie but impossibly timid and shy...


The view of Crispycat Towers from his garden...


Into town for breakfast at Patisserie Florentin...


Pains au Raisin with lovely coffee...


Then, a walk about...


..and some purchases made...

We popped by Jane & Bobby's on the way home to water their garden...



Home and listening to my first purchase - an LP, by Lionel Rogg, of J S Bach's organ music, which my dad had when I was a boy - I remember playing it a lot after seeing the original "Rollerball", which used "Toccata and Fugue in in D Minor" over the opening scenes...


Also picked up this disc of Ravel's piano music for two hands, which contains one of the works we witnessed being performed, four weeks ago already, in Baden Baden...


...a disc of Latin American baroque music...


...and a 2CD set marking the 100th anniversary of the Concertgebouworkest of Amsterdam...


Tasty...


In the late afternoon, down to Keith and Maureen's, where nephew Craig and partner Arianne had made a rare appearance...


Hey hey, it's the Monkees...


After much good chat - including tales of upcoming new cats - conventionally for Craig and Arianne but involving a rather long road trip for Abby and Blair - and tasty nosh and drinks, it was time to head home...


Oh, and we watched the World Cup Final - France beat Croatia 4-2 - their first two goals were extremely questionable but, hey ho, that's football...

Today's artwork : "Back in the PF"...


Highlight of the Day : Finding my dad's old LP...
