The view from the office this morning as another week started...

...with a nice breakfast...

...a reasonable lunch...

...and, as ever, some accidental photographs...

Chum Spike is getting rid of his vinyl collection...

I remember this day well - from the bargain bin at Boots on Princes St - still there 44 years later - the shop, not the bargain bin...

..and Hawkwind were enjoyed...

This evening, Anne was painting again...

OK that's enough radiator pics...

Lights out...
