Today was Record Store Day...

At Crispycat Towers, every day is Record Store Day...

Enjoying this this morning...

Of course, the colour of a composer’s skin, or indeed their sex, should not matter. It ought really to be about the music. And this is, in the main, to my liking...

Headed into town, with Anne, for breakfast...

It was strange to be out...

To Cafe Centro...

Good wall art...

Good service...

Good tables...

Good breakfasts...

To Fopp and a strange abandoned list spotted outside...

At first, I thought someone was looking to buy wasps...

But it was "foam 4 wasps"...

Mon the wasps!

In and, eventually, joined by a tardy due to a Hi Fi situation, Dr Prog...

The beast was masked and about its business...

...making purchases...

The new Yello...

A 5CD box of Temptations for £3...

Two Barry Whites for £3 each...

A 2CD set of Motown, £3..

Some Georgie Fame - bought for the cover of "The Monkey Time" - £3...

..and a 3CD set of Nancy Wilson (there's no place in jazz for vocals - unless it's 3CDs for £3)...

And a 2CD set of Chuck Berry (£3)...

Over to behind Waverley Station (following a fruitless visit to Avalanche) and coffees...

...with the doc...

...and god chat about "how things are and how they might be"...

A bus home - upstairs, up front - away from everyone...

...on the way, the lightning lead from my iPhone to my headphones gave up the ghost - dirty bastard Apple and your no headphone socket pish and charging £9 for a 2 inch piece of plastic...

Anyway, back home, some "Chuck" and some ripping and listening...

Tea was tasty prawn based pasta...

...followed by 2 not that great episodes of "The Inbetweeners" and a very good "Vera", featuring Craster...

Two books were also purchased today (you guessed it £3 each)...

...plus some stuff for my mum's birthday do tomorrow, pre her 90th on Monday...

Discs were enjoyed and books were perused...

This afternoon, I'd moved the CD player & right hand speaker along a shelf to the left, so the Exec Producer’s reintroduced (for me headphone listening) rocking chair wouldn’t be in front of the right speaker when I enjoy music from the sofa. Not that anyone needs to know any of this of course...

On posting the above pic and story, an old CD was played after being spotted on the end of a box by a Twitterchum asking for an opinion from Mr CBQ...

Duly given...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Shopping with Dr Prog...
