Started Saturday with this, which may be out next week. We'll see...
...and the Cheeky Girls thing, which will also see the light of day at some point...
Initial scenes...
Happy Birthday to the Exec Producer!!
Out into the storm...
No idea...
Over to Anne's choice of breakfast place, The Haven at Newhaven...
I like this mill...
Excellent coffee...
Attractive, unpartaken of, cakes...
Fried eggs and avocado on sourdough toast for the birthday girl...
...and porridge with banana, raspberries, blueberries and honey for your correspondent...
Supertasty...
Discussions re Wordle and how I get sucked into wasting time on playlists...
Back home, some Emerson Lake and Palmer enjoyed, re an assertion by Rolling Stone magazine that thier next studio LP "Tarkus" was "mediocre"...
This led me to compile a list of other LPs released in 1971 to compare and contrast and some time was spent shuffling said playlist..
Which will come in handy when the fortnightly poll gets round to that year...
More trawling of my recent Wire back issues...
...and probably far too much new music brought into the collection as a consequence thereof...
Not to worry...
Took Anne and her mum to Tynecastle for today's 2-0 win against Motherwell (queens seem doomed, losing at home 2-0 to relegation rivals Dunfermline)...
I consoled myself by visiting the local record shop on the way home...
...and emerged after over an hour with these four items for £10 (as opposed to a copy of Nirvana's "Nevermind" on vinyl for £100 - there are some right mugs out there!)...
I had never heard of this South African lady but I am always on the lookout for new to me string quartets music and this did not disappoint...
Took a chance on this jazz disc of two 1958 LPs, not realising it features Miles Davis on trumpet and, a rare thing, flugelhorn...
I have a soft spot for Richie Havens...
...and had, until now, nothing by Al Kooper - producer of the Tubes' debut LP...
So, you know, it's all good...
this evening, out to Prana with Jane & Bobby for a quiet meal to further celebrate Anne's birthday...
Complimentary amuse bouches...
Drinks...
Lovely starters...
Superb mains...
Good chat - including various trips planned etc and, of course, unmentioned until now, Kitty's upcoming 6 week stay in Costa Rica...
Which I'm sure will be just fine and Dandy and Bob's blood pressure will return to normal at end March...
A walk up the hill and Jan and Bob took the bus along the road....
Highlights of the Hearts game enjoyed and some other TV too before calling it a night on a good birthday...
Highlight of the day : Anne's birthday...
