A surprising reaction from the drummer's neighbours can be encouraging...

Another lovely morning...

It doesn't look like it but this was taken at the same time as the pics above...

There was filing to be done due to new entries but, none was done...

Outside, the squirrel was out and about...

...and my mum's shopping list awaited...

Out shopping around nine - me for my mum and Anne for us...

Back home for a big, nutritious and healthy and filling breakfast so that I would need no lunch...

At 11:45, over to my mums for a visit, taking her shopping and doing the weekly chores and having a bit of a chat - and showing her all the pics on here over the last couple of weeks - she likes that...

Then, on to Roslin, for this afternoon's open air (but thankfully for the neighbours, on headhones) Capital Models session...

The scene at half time...

We played 21 songs, spending a longer amount of time on the three newest additions to the repertoire...

Fraught at times but ultimately, extremely enjoyable - and we will meet again next Sunday...

Turns out the neighbours actually enjoyed what they could hear and actually requested that they be allowed to hear the full sound and offered a loan of a gazebo tent to protect us from the sun!

And that was based on them presumably only hearing my singing and John's bashing on the plastic of his electronic drums, no keyboards and completely unamplified electric guitars and bass...

So that was good...

Home to a package ordered just yesterday morning...

Tasty 10CD box for £16...

...paid for by ill-gotten gains, there precisely to pay for such things...

In the evening, lovely chicken cutlets and zingy salad for tea followed by a couple of "Better Call Saul" and the highlights of Scotland's 1-0 win against Luxembourg - no longer the "minnows" they once were - this after a 2-2 draw against Holland earlier in the week - the Euros are imminent - Scotland 's first tournament finals since 1998...

We'll see...

Highlight of the Day : Playing with the band...
