Once Anne emerged from the land of nod, we went out for breakfast for the first time in a while...
We parked at "The Saturday Place" and walked to Newington....
Post nourishment, some shopping...
There is a huge number of charity shops in this area and, in the first of those, Shelter, your CD buying correspondent partook of the first ten of the items below, thinking the outlay would be £10 - in fact it was 3 for £2, so, £7 covered it...
Amazing...

Getting there...
Once Anne emerged from the land of nod, we went out for breakfast for the first time in a while...
We parked at "The Saturday Place" and walked to Newington....
...and new to us, Himalaya Cafe - which was rather good and not too expensive...

Post listening to "Vienna" recently and thinking perhaps the Ure era Ultravox (no apostrophe post the change from John Foxx) weren't that bad after all, a best of was also secured in the Cancer Research shop, for just one of your United Kingdom pounds...
Instead of heading home immediately, a walk down the bridges....
...and a quartet of tastiness was procured in Blackwell's music department...
A piano recital disc from James Rhodes, a Coltrane tribute from Gilad Atzmon, an excellent non-classical string quartet disc of original material by Radio.String.Quartet and an (also) excellent, if pretty much tuneless (as you'd expect of them ), disc by The Thing...
In all, the average price per title was just £1.43 - half the price of a cup of coffee at Kilimanjaro...
Back to the car, noting this top notch tree...
...and home for an afternoon of, post the remains of Anne's tasty broccoli soup from last night, ripping and listening, while watching Queen of the South beat Ayr Utd 3-1 on the Twitter with Anne off witnessing Hearts eventually overcoming a plucky St Mirren at Tynecastle, 5-2...
Also, some lyrics supplied to Edward Spark re his own projects...
Meanwhile, a week after the Capital Models session, the equipment has still not been returned to the attic to be re-set up...
I'm so lazy...
In light of the wins for Hearts and Queens, some takeaway Indian fayre was enjoyed...
The remainder of our Saturday was taken up with:-
(a) "Strictly" (Anne) / more listening to the new stuff (me) and
(b) four, count 'em, episodes of "Spiral"...
To bed just post midnight...
A good day...
Highlight of the Day : Shopping for CDs....

Nice to see your comments on Midge and Ultravox without Foxx. I recently acquired his new "Greatest Hits" box set cd which he has been touring. I had a lot of his/their stuff on vinyl but has been stuffed up in an attic for now. The extras on the DVD that comes with it is excellent also.
I'd like to hear instrumental versions of the Ure Ultravox music. I've realised it is very much a continuation of "Systems of Romance" but I do still find Midge a little overwrought in comparison to the detached tones of Mr Foxx...
I've just looked up overwrought. Yeah, probably right but an eleven old me didn't realise this and I have good memories of Midge and the band while growing up.
Around the same age I discovered Elvis Presley. I see how Ultravox would have made an impression...
