First thing, prompted by the Twitter, created a 2LP set by Andrew Hill...

And gave it a listen...

Recompiled this week's podcast content, rejecting the playlist from yesterday yet keeping most of it and ending up with two hours...

Young Sid from a couple of doors along was stalking her, frankly unattainable, prey at the feeding station...

As with most cats, when such things went wrong, she pretended it hadn't happened and gave herself a clean...

Although she contemplated coming in, she did not - still a bit shy...

Started recording the podcast then Beau arrived with nephew Ali to do some final work in the attic...

Beau had a wee look around...

...and seemed well aware where her dad was...

Here he is Beau...

No showers for dogs...

The squirrel breakfasted, as did we, reasonably late on...

Good chat ensued - so much so that the 2 hour recording of the podcast ended up being almost 5, with great long gaps of silence thereafter having to be edited out before the eventual upload...

I did, however, leave in the inadvertent recording of a phone call from my mum asking that I bring her rolls and milk...

However, by the time everything had been done I did not have time and called back to advise I'd be out tomorrow...

Guests were arriving - today we were hosting the fortnightly Sunday tea - with Jane, Bob, Olly and Kitty in Spain, a smaller attendance, which was eminently manageable...

Sea Bass fillets with potatoes and veg, followed by a very nice indeed home made apple and blackberry crumble with custard were much enjoyed...

I almost forgot to take any pics and did indeed miss all the food but here are the guests, about to leave..

Mary...

Maureen...

Keith...

I gave them a lift into town, however, having run into the football tubes leaving Murrayfield following a "really don't know why this should be happening at Murrayfield" friendly, which saw Napoli trounce Liverpool 3-0, it took me some considerable time and quite the detour to get back home...

Ended the day listening back to the finalised podcast - quite liked the scope a two hour time slot gives, although, obviously, it's double the work...

We'll see...

Highlight of the Day : Visitors...
