The view from the office this morning...

Soundtracked for most of the day by last year's podcasts...

To Tollcross at lunchtime, no purchases...

On the way back, a chance meeting with old chum Eona Aitken, and fellow member of "The Metamorphosis Group" from 1993...

...purely because I decided to pop into Sainsbury which took me a on a slightly different route...

Looking well, having just turned 71 - long retired but as busy as a very busy person - not much with her art though - which still has pride of place here at Crispycat Towers...

In the evening, a very tasty unpictured omelette sustained, followed by music - mainly the shortest tracks featured over the years on the podcast of those which were showing up in iTunes as never having been played - while I continued to update the text of the German Trip entries - already six weeks ago...

Also played Andrew Hill's debut LP - just released on vinyl (again) by Blue Note - but without the two bonus tracks on my quite obviously better sounding CD...

Ended the day with "Holby" which was kind of up to the usual standards...

How did we ever get sucked in?
