First thing, a wee friend was to hand...

She soon disappeared onto a window ledge for the views...

...which were good...

...as was the first coffee of the day...

My goals for today were to delete all the music from both my 160GB iPods and fill one with all CDs acquired in the last 4 years and the other with all downloads over a similar period...

I also wanted to upload the podcast and bring this diary up to date...

And , I wanted to organise all the musical equipment put up into the attic over the course of the last six days...

But first, choose something to play...

A trip to the grocery store for provisions including a variety of pastries, ostensibly for Anne...

Post breakfast, Luna enjoyed rolling around in some catnip...

...and then looked fro more...

Then, she helped Anne with some paining...

..while I lazed around listening to music as CDs from 2015 to 2019 loaded into a wiped iPod...

Portuguese Custard Tarts were enjoyed...

...while we decided the bathroom was the wrong colour...

The view from the office later this afternoon...

...as I reconstituted the "recording console" up in the attic...

...with a cheeky wee finishing touch...

Nothing is, as yet, plugged into any source of electricity though...

Back downstairs but still upstairs, this John Coltrane album (and a couple of others recorded around the same time, at the start of the 60's) was found to be very good...

As last week, some reasonably healthy Indian fayre was enjoyed...

Meanwhile, the ipod I'd spent around 8 hours filling with loadsa CDs wiped itself empty as I approached the eighth hour of the exercise...

Which was a trifle annoying...

I started again...

After all, it was that or watch "Strictly"...

And that took me to midnight...

Goals achieved : 2/5...

Poor show...

Lights out...

Highlight of the day : Setting up the stuff...
