Up into the dark...



Switch on...




Compiling a playlist of one track each from 2020 studio albums acquired thus far - 148 of these...


It was to, in the main, soundtrack the day...

Breakfast prepped by the EP for the beasts...


...meanwhile, post the beast's own breakfast, leaving the EP to WFH, the beast itself was about its business, outside...



Drove to Roseburn and parked...


A walk partway into town...




...then, a masked bus trip up to Newington...



Alighting here, with a view to making my way back via music purchasing opportunities...


In here...


...some Kelly...


Next to Gregg's...


...some Italian...


.Pakistani...


...and Indian things acquired...


Past Record Shak, empty and up for let, since the untimely death of owner, Dave Gass...


In Barnardos's...


...a 2CD set of 4 quartets which, it turns out, I already have in a box of 8CDs by the Albans....


In these two...


...these two...



..and here...


...these two...



Total outlay was less than a tenner...

Some lunch secured, along with a couple of cakes to take home...


They nestled in the bag above the haul...


Back to the car and a drive home...


...for some coffee, cakes and TV with Anne, then ripping and listening for the rest of the afternoon..

Random records of the day awaited being played at some point...


But not today...

This evening, it was wine o'clock...




...and Spaghetti Bolognese was on the menu...



...as was "Taskmaster" and some other things plus some further listening...

A better day...

Highlight of the Day : Trawling for stuff I certainly do not need...
