First thing, this week's Eclectic Selection prepped but, as yet, without chat...

The Classical Podcast was, however, completed and uploaded - all of these thus far have made the Mixcloud charts...

Out for a birthday (couple of days early) breakfast with Annie Milannie to the Piece Box...

Yum...

A walk from Polwarth to the Grassmarket to meet up with Dr Prog took me past various charity shops...

In Cancer Research at Tollcross, a box of CDs at 5 for a pound...

Oh dear, how could I refuse...

Got these for said quid...

Turns out I already have the Muse (but not with the DVD in this version) and the third of the three Deadmau5 banging selections...

The Metallica live 2CD includes the recording skills of one time member of the Capital Models/Pure Bears circle of chums, Steve "Chick" McLaughlin...

By the time I was supposed to have been at the library to meet the Doc I wasn't; and so we met instead at the foot of Victoria St in the Grassmarket and popped into the Grassmarket Centre for a coffee (for me) and a bottle of Coke, a black pudding roll, a fried egg roll, two coffees and a slice of cake for the Progmeister...

Here he is queuing up amongst the about to go on a walking tour around the old town mainly Spanish tourists...

Good chat and coffee in nice surroundings...

It's packed one minute and deserted the next as people head out on their tours...

A walk to Fopp for your two music buying idiots...

These were partaken of (the Doc got a new Brian Auger trio disc for eighteen squid)...

I am, of course, a fan of, deeply unfashionable, Chicago - two concerts from the end of 2017...

In addition to those, until today, I had no physical copy of Lou Reed's solo debut...

I could have bought that disc on its own for £6 but, on consulting my physician of prog, I plumped for this 5CD box, as it includes 10 bonus tracks not previously in the collection...

This is how the minds of idiots work...

A tram with the doc, on his way for a swim, out to Anne's mum's to pick up provisions for my mum and the car - Anne and Mary off to Tynecastle to see Hearts triumph 2-0 against the Johnstone Saints (Queens lost 2-1 to Partick Thistle in Maryhill)...

Back home and these had arrived - my RHA's gave up the ghost in Spain...

This is my fourth set under the 3yr guarantee that still has a year and half to run...

Put together the between track chat for the podcast and then set off out to Loanhead (listening back and checking) for a good, upbeat visit with my mum - including the signing of Anne's birthday card for Tuesday...

Home and, just as I was shutting the garage, Anne arrived back from the footie with the buoyancy which only a much needed win at Tynie can provide...

Uploaded the podcast and, then, a very tasty tea indeed of home made, from scratch (but, sadly, unpictured), macaroni cheese with bacon and chorizo...

We watched all three episodes of "Manhunt" with Martin Clunes - noting his wife was the producer..

Good, entertaining stuff, although tinged by the thought that the events depicted did actually take place...

Ended the day with finalising the ripping of all the new acquisitions, before heading to bed with Uncle Lou in the cans...

highlight of the Day : Anne's macaroni...
