Friday again...

Which is good; and bad...

Up...


Anne off to Zumba, me WFH...

Later, followoing application of this over the last couple of weeks...


...Anne was off out again to have her ears syringed...

Still some to be done next week to finish things off...

I will shortly get mine done too I think...

At £55 it should be worth it...

Today, my 100 nominations for the (my) top 5 LPs of 2003 re the latest fortnightly poll were honed to these 50...



...and on it goes...

Also today, new releases brought into the collection...


...some better than others...

Learning too "Love is the Drug" by Roxy Music - a suggestion for a new cover by keyboardsman Paul R...

This evening, into town, solo, to Haymarket, soundtracked by said track's home LP, "Siren" - a classic from 1975...


To Indian, or, rather, Pakistani restaurant, Rustom...


...where the food was delicious, plentiful and keenly priced...

Starter platters...



..and a Pakistani Lamb Karai for your corrrspondent...


The quality of the pics of my colleagues speaks to the worse for wearness of the photographer which was ensuing through the evening...

Luna the Cat's mum, Gillian, for it was she...


Ali...


Wendy...


Spike...


Jack...


A rather weary looking Janine, with Bernardo behind - plus Sarah and Christine...


Gillian had stolen my phone to take the above and this...


Janine enjoyed the lettuce...


Sarah was "normal" - Christine was dignified...


As we left the restaurant around 9:30, Janine and Christine caught a train, Sarah headed home on foot, the rest went on to more partying, Jack having already left around 9 to meet up with more chums...

I was on the 26 by 9:45, now soundtracked by Roxy Music's live LP "Viva" - I'd forgotten how top notch it is...


Home, not the worse for wear this time, and even watched a couple of things on the telly, including "Graham Norton"...

I was, however, stuffed to the veritable gunwales...

Highlight of the Day : Indian (or rather, Pakistani) feast...
