Up at 5:30 to record the podcast...




..and catching up with the Twitter...


..and did some prep for the ever lengthening update required for this - though I did not update it...


Coffee...




Post uploading the podcast, we toom a walk down the hill to the Torphin for breakfast...


I took the veggie option - making a mental note not to do so again, due to the inclusion, I think, of some kind of not to my taste cheese element in the veggie sausages...


Anne's eggs on smashed avocado was very much enjoyed though...


Of course, a wee look in the charity shops produced a pile...


...for £6.50...


...seen here in reverse order of acquisition due to the extremely annoying vagaries of Blogger photo upload...









As I riped thse, news form Anne of a new record shop which has just opened at the foot of the hill...

Post lunch, I investigated...


It opened today and all CDs were £2 a pop...


Uh-oh...


And so, my second pile of the day...


Again, seen here in reverse order of acquisition due to the extremely annoying vagaries of Blogger photo upload...























£45 the ot...

Hey, it's Xmas...

As noted here...

The decorations are "up"...

The beast in the baubles...






An argument on Whatsapp with Sparky as to whether the Fun Lovin' Criminals are better than the Beastie Boys...



What do I know?

Later this evening, work on a new piece...

Ed wants me to do a version od Adamski/Seal's "Killer" - and I had the idea of incorporating the lyrics from Alice Cooper's "Killer" from, erm, "Killer"...

Here's what it looks like...


Later, a second version created - both will now be added to "Twentytwentyone"...

Things watched but not sure when - the entire "Uber Weihnachten", "The Chair" and a Christmas film or two...

Damn I really do need to write this everyday...

Oh well...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : New record shop...
