More Yes this morning...

This quasi-Yes album has not aged well - Bill Bruford's electronic drums being particularly set in the late 80's...


Onward to "Union" from 1991 - better  - due to the participation of Squire and Rabin but still a hotch potch of material from two different bands with little crossover...


As with most Yes albums from now on, there is a good 35 minute LP in there trying to get out...

More No 1 single compiling too...

Meanwhile, Anne had been out acquiring a new phone, which led to some clearing out...


This is her seventh phone it appears (the last one not shown)...


Old glasses were also tried on before being binned...



Over to my mum's...

What's this?


Well...


It's an (almost) 88 year old woman out doing her shopping for the first time in a long time...


More biscuits, crisps and sweets than you could shake a stick at but, it's not as if she's going to add much to her life expectancy now by cutting out crap...


The felony was compounded however, by a large hot chocolate with loadsa skooshy cream and a goodly number of marshmallows involved...


Over to Anne's mum's where the mood was not sombre - just the timing of the pics caught people in pensive moments perhaps...













Extra pie today with 11 of us around the table...


There was almost a wine on camera incident...


Mary's latest painting was unveiled - the boys in the kitchen at Wanlockhead last September...


Very good...

Today's artwork is, therefore, "The Boys in the Kitchen by Mary"...


Highlight of the Day : Mum out and about...
