A Monday soundtracked, for most of the day, by 1976 releases and records bought in that year...


...which included this... 


Bought on this very day that year...

According to my diary, it cost £1.60 - which seems not bad but that’s £13.39 in today’s money...

Mind you, that's still good compared to what some nutters are willing to pay for an LP today…

Fang popped by...


And, while Anne was out and about, I was helped with my WFH by another wee friend...





This evening, as a precursor to niece Kitty's 18th - and upcoming six week trip to that Costa Rica - we were out for a celebratory Mexican meal at Wahaca on a cold, windy and desolate Monday night..

Which was heated up by this lot...





Lager made out of discarded fresh bread, apparently...


It tasted like lager...

I forewent the idea of 3 smaller dishes, for a traditional nachos starter (see above) and burrito main...


The kids insisted on pudding...


Who was I to deny them...


A bus home and back to base...




An enjoyable evening...

Highlight of the Day : Out with the kids but the wee squirrel was good too...
