Morning Saturday morning, even though yesterday already felt like a Saturday… 

Two Saturdays in a row?

That’ll do nicely…

Today - Podcasting. Rehearsing...





While recording, I lined up today's random Daily Section, No 49/432...



 Section 186, a box of compilations from Baby Boomers to Breakdown...


I chose blues from Baghdad, some of Bollywood’s greatest singers and a disc of Brazilian funk…. 

Eclectic!!


Podcast done and uploaded...

Breakfast outside...


Back inside, packing up the equipment...


But, before Roslin, the Meadows Festival - where, in 1984, Count Brodski and I played as Love Parade on the back of a lorry - nowadays they have a proper stage but the music is perhaps not so good...


A wander around...






...and, eventually, a pile partken of...


Off to sunny Roslin...

Around 5, we bade each other farewell - due to various holidays and commitments, the next session is not yet in the diary...


Home and the ripping and listening re today's acquisitions commenced...










Some time spent in the garden with Anne and her hat...


...before a tasty curry for tea...




...and it may have been tonight that we finished off the final season of "Rita".  Another hole left...

Such is the nature of the binge...

Lights out...
