First thing, to re-recording two parts of the podcast, having found glitches on listening back last night...

Weird and annoying...

Done...

A tidy desk is a happy desk...

Breakfast, once Anne was up...

...soundtracked by the instrumental version of the proposed new LP...

...over which I will probably practise some playing and singing soon...

...with a view to ever playing any of this stuff in the flesh, so to speak...

Breakfast results...

Mine...

Annie's...

To upkeeping the Red Books of CDs I own...

Then, to practising the bass...

...for tomorrow's covers session with Capital Models...

Anne called me to the bedroom window to see this wee chap...

The post arrived...

Three new items...

This tasty box set (unexpectedly big)...

...but it holds an interesting book as well as 3 CDs...

..and this 5CD box of a violin maestro...

And, erm, this...

...which ought to have been a further 5CD box of the works of the composer Zelenka...

Inquiries were made into rectification, with said rectification hopefully possible...

Unless, of course, a penguin loving German now has my CDs and finds them better than the proposed penguin based book...

A light lunch and watching the DVD of Kevin Eldon's live show from 2010, "Kevin Eldon is Titting About", which was very good...

Then, out for a drive over Dalkeith way and to the impressive looking Carberry Towers...

 ...for the first time since a weekend in February 1974, with chums Sandy Harkness, Rory MacRae and forgotten others, in connection with our church - Rory's dad, "Uncle Norrie", having been the minister...

I recall it always as having been a great weekend - and that it was the first time I'd heard "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd (some of the "teachers" there played the track "Time" - to us to make us aware of "time", I suppose)...

Towards the end of that year, the LP became my first Floyd purchase...

We could not access the main house but enjoyed some hospitality nonetheless...

Lovely coffee and, we both agreed independently, the best scones we had ever tasted...

...and we have tasted a lot of scones...

Lovely surroundings...

On our way out, we had a quick look around what is now a hotel, rather than a lovely old building owned by the Church of Scotland...

I bet someone got a bargain somewhere along the line...

This staircase has long been in my memories...

A walk around the grounds ensued...

I'd always recalled a gymnasium somewhere, where we'd played indoor football - we found some houses under the title "The Old Gymnasium" - no footie now then...

Speaking of which, as we departed, we heard on the radio that Queens had at last won a League Cup qualifier, 4-1 away at Dumbarton - scoring four goals in 12 minutes, four minutes after going one down...

Impressive...

A convoluted journey home took around 90 minutes, with stop offs for provisions...

Back home, as with yesterday's Kraan box, I proved to the Twittersphere that I owned some Jean-Luc Ponty...

While I mucked about ripping and a-listening to Yehudi Menuhin, Anne was concocting an absolutely superb chicken with spinach and coriander curry...

Yumtastic...

We ended our Saturday with the penultimate episode of "Killing Eve" on the telly...

Followed by the final episode of"Killing Eve", which is already up on the BBC iPlayer...

Looking forward to series three...

Lights out on an excellent day, all told...

Highlight of the Day : A return to Carberry...
