First thing, taking the car around the coast to Arnold Clark for another repair to the handbrake and annoyingly inconclusive  nonsense re a noise which has only appeared since the last time they "fixed" it...

Not to worry...

November away...

Today, a surprise birthday do for chum Spike - having left him yesterday thinking it was all over...

Chums gathered...

...and the trap was sprung...

...much to everyone's delight...

As the afternoon progressed, so did the "state" of the attendees - your correspondent, on "duty" re his mum and a possible call out to Loanhead, was on the sparkling mineral water...

Spike, however, was not...

The Exec Producer popped in and enjoyed a small large glass of wine, giving Spike her best wishes before heading out with chums Teresa and Gillian...

Spike and lovely wife Debbie were on top form...

Daughter Cassie captured the crowning moment on her phone...

While Spike got inside the zero...

I left around 5:30 to head home - cooked some tea, watched a "Supernatural", drove out to my mum's for a couple of hours to keep her company and order her about regarding shopping and exercising, then drove home again for another two episodes of "Supernatural" before Anne arrived home...

All in all, a good day, notwithstanding zero alcoholic intake and my mum's situation...

And the music was appreciated - which was good...

Today's artwork, "Sixty"...

Highlight of the Day : Surprise!
