Well, the first month of 2019 gone already...

Freezing this morning...

In the sky, Venus, the moon and Jupiter were lined up nicely...

A trip to Stockbridge at lunchtime resulted in zero purchases...

On the way up the hill as I made my way home, a discarded pair of glasses lay frozen on the ground...

Nice skies...

...and back to where it began, ten hours ago...

Today, a remix of my 10 year old track "We Drove" arrived from Creek compadre, Craig "Edward Spark" Sutherland...

It's here for the next few days only...

It is quite excellent - my vocal, I think, is all that remains of the original song - which you can find here...

A couple of covers were mocked up... 

Pictures of St John in Canada...

...although the lyric is based on a passage from "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway which name checks the Basque town of Saint Jean de Luz...

Which actually looks like this...

...and here's the Spark cover...

This evening, a trip back out to Roslin to pick up the recorder accidentally left behind on Sunday; and a chance for Anne and I to have a coffee and a chat with drummer Johnny and his lovely wife, architect and cake baker, Moira...

Back home around 9:30 and "Death in Paradise" entertained...

Highlight of the Day : A "new" CBQ track arriving...
