Monday - and started the day with yesterday's sessions...


...followed by the mighty Grand Funk, while a wee chum made its way up the wall to the ceiling...



Uploading pic and playlists for this - still very far behind...


Breakfast, including coffee from the "new" old cafetiere...


WFH - soundtracked by Pink Floyd - listened to the whole of "The Division Bell" - probably 3 or 4 tracks should have been left off to make it a better album (says the man who overloads the world with his one nonsense)...

Then, I checked the remaster of "The Final Cut", which does not, as I had thought, include the second part of "The Hero's Return"...

So I fished out the 12", gave it a spin...



...found the track on the internet and created a digital version and then created a copy of the remaster, which now includes this extra minute and a half and "When the Tigers Broke Free"...

That's better...

A quick drive over to Fife to pick up a bag of stuff from Anne's desk...

Home for lunch..


...the egg a master stoke from the EP...

"Community" enjoyed...

Anne's bag was mostly folders of notes, but these wee guys were also in there (note : Anne put the seal and elephant in the bin as she couldn't recall their origin!  Look at these wee faces)...


Later, a visit from a real animal - the first for ages from Fang...



He hung about for a wee while...




Later, the usual nonsense on the internet about vinyl being better than CDs...

Idiots...


I've been buying CDs since 1985. Even my earliest sound exactly as they did when I bought them. No pops, no crackles, no worrying if the hole in the middle is dead centred. My remaining LPs sound ok too but the occasional pop, crackle or non dead centred hole all encourage digital listening...

Anne was out at pilates with Lynn...

I found a new thing, whose title escapes me - Brazilian - about Angelus (not angels)...



Fang came back - and was minding his own business when he spotted the new cat from the end of the street walking past...

He was obviously worried...



...and kept a lookout for a long time...




...before eventually going...

I suspect this other cat is the reason he's not visited for a while...

Post pilates, fish pie and corn on the cob for tea...

In "University Challenge" we scored an unprecedented 180 - 9 starters and 18 bonuses correct...

We were the winners...

First of a new 2 parter from "Silent Witness"...

Probably watched something else, maybe a "Community" or two...

We are now on series 2...

Anyway, lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Fang lives!
