Up and "working"...

Home and the tree is decimated...

The first of two awaited albums by new Danish faves Efterklang arrived...

..and a new download from Japanese ambient fave Betts with a minimal techno twist was also enjoyed...

As was tasty pasta from the EP...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : New music...

The beast returns to the fray, pt 683...

The view from the window has been changed irrevocably...

Another week is flying by...

Listening today comprised my albums of the month for 2019 so far...

This evening, as I made my down from the terminus, the change to the skyline continues...

Back to 5 a sides tonight...

...it's a big hall...

Very enjoyable, even if the teams were a bit one-sided and mine ended up being thrashed by a younger, fitter, five...

I managed a goal though, a header, indeed...

Pity it was at the wrong end...

Oh well...

And, almost inevitably, I fell over at one point...

Never mind, I was rewarded by a tasty aubergine stew from the EP...

...and some TV and some listening...

Lights out on a good day...

Highlight of the Day : Footballing...

Typical Tuesday...

Up early as always...

A huge listening list today as I sampled tracks currently on the phone which iTunes reckons haven't been played since at least September 2013...

At lunchtime, this found at the BHF shop...

...a tasty reggae selection indeed...

In the evening, sampling that then the second episode of the week of "The Dublin Murders" and ended the day with another decent "Holby City"...

That was it...

Typical Tuesday...

Highlight of the Day : New reggae...

There is something deeply wrong with our world...

Another good, cold morning...

Far better bitterly cold than wind and rain...

Good views on the walk down the hill...

The beast was about its business, silhouetted on a hedge...

At lunchtime, a trip along to Dalry but nothing of any interest...

Then, back at Shandwick, these found in the new Bernardo's shop at £2 each...

In the early evening, a walk eastwards along Rose St...

...to Bonhams auction house for some chat re the United States of America...

On display, some whisky - the two bottles at the bottom of the case were apparently sold to a Chinese gentleman for £100,000 each....

There is something deeply wrong with our world...

Home in the dark...

...and a noted a longstanding tree is being taken down...

...always a sad scenario...

A tasty tea form the EP and, despite being on fire for "University Challenge" we still came third with 110 points...

Oh well...

Later "The Dublin Murders" continued to improve...

Hihglight of the Day : Old music soundtracking...

Sorting clocks, a telly and hearing aids...

A pile of new music awaited, as it always seems to do...

I have now bought almost 300 £1 CDs in 18 visits to Mixed Up, including 110 classical discs, since first discovering their "special room" three and a half years ago...

Out for provisions pre breakfast having gained an hour overnight...

Anne took to some painting while I caught up with this and with the new acquisitions...

I had thought we were off to Glasgow again today for Anne to attend a football match but that's next Sunday...

A visit to my mum in the afternoon, sorting her clocks, her TV and, indeed her hearing aids...

Then, home to cook...

I went solo tonight on our joint chicken and cauliflower dish from last weekend...

...and it seemed to go well...

And there you go, before you know it, another weekend has gone...

Highlight of the day : Cooking...

A good day, despite not getting to play...

Up late...



 ....and had to wait until the EP emerged before being able to record the podcast links...

However, this went up re Cloudland Blue Quartet not playing at Club Nitty Gritty tonight...

"What I should have been doing tonight...available for the next seven days..."

https://we.tl/t-z4It9Vbaac

The stream/download at the link is only available until 2 November...

Then, prompted by a Twitter chat with a chum in the USA who recently visited New York and Boston, I set about putting togetehr a new playlist of all the CDs I bought on our trip there back in 1999, for my 40th birthday...

I consulted the "Red Book of CDs I Own" for the content...

...and found all but three on the hard drives...

A search ensued...

...including a visit to the attic...

Soon I had them all and was able too to recreate the CD compilation I put together on our return home...

Meanwhile, as I finally put the podcast together, Bob arrived to put the new blind up in the new bathroom...

Some further work is required...

The torture is nearly over...

It's only around six months since that very small part in the fire went wrong and set off the whole chain of events... 

Into the car post blind work and off to Glasgow for Count Arthur Strong, the reason I could not perform this evening...

Parked near Byres Road and Anne went for a coffee while I had a quick look around Fopp and picked this up to compliment yesterday's purchase - it has two new tracks on it which made the £3 outlay worth it (in my head)...

It was certainly more worth it than the coffee - which was good but, relative to music, very expensive...

I'm sure Anne thinks I'm mad...

Out for a walk along Great Western Road...

...erm...

...to Mixed Up Records on Otago Lane...

...where these were assimilated into the collection at £1 a pop...

One of my favourite rooms in Glasgow - if not thee favourite...

Out and on the search for dinner...

...after a walk in the cold and rain, Tony Macaroni's was given our first ever visit...

Not bad, said the beast...

...while his EP texted our nephew...

Yumtastic...

Not hipsterish...

A subway trip to the town centre...

...and to the Pavilion Theatre for the show...

...which was very funny indeed, quite brilliantly done in fact, as Count Arthur went on and on about Professor Brian Cox...

Tangential is the word...

There was ice cream at half time...

Just before 10, out we came and another subway back to the car...

...and the journey home was soundtracked by the set I ought to have played tonight...

The EP's verdict was "the usual depressing stuff"...

Oh well...

A good day, despite not getting to play...

Highlight of the Day : The Count...
