The Velvet Underground - 1969

Thursday and, once again, I'm five days behind - where is my discipline?

It's probably out in the garden...

...and then off to Lidl for some lovely croissants...

Perhaps...

I looked through my diaries for 1981 and 1982 trying to find the first ever 5-a-sides match, of what is now, 40 years later, MBFives - in which I, as the sole remaining original player, am referred to as Dave GF (Dave the Godfather)...

Turns out, it was Friday 9 July 1982...

(Pic will be added shortly)

Also found that, quite coincidentally, on this very day, 40 years ago, I bought the then latest Alice Cooper LP, "Zipper Catches Skin"...

32 minutes of fun...

I still have it...

...and I played it...

Out with Anne for some mooching around the shops - she had a token from M&S...

After visiting two of their branches, Anne emerged with a gillet and your correspondent had snaffled not one but two new jackets... 

Previously owned coats and jackets were discarded to make way for the new acquisitions - makes a change from CDs and books...

We also bought some nice German bread, cheese and salami for a different branch of Lidl than the croissants one...

A tasty lunch ensued, along with, of course, some "Elementary"...

In the afternoon, working on the setlists for Sunday's proposed rehearsals - much playing back of old stuff...

This evening out as guest of old work chum Sam to a dinner at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society...

Much beer was enjoyed but the whisky, not so much...

Good chat into the late evening and then a bus home - direct route thwarted at the last moment by diversions...

...and so, an Airport bus from Shandwick Place...

...to the zoo, a pick up from Anne and straight to bed, slightly the worse for wear...

A good day nonetheless...

Highlight of the Day : New jackets...
