Friday!

Up late...

...and to acquiring new music, compiling and recording this week's podcast...

This afternoon, some singing in preparation for Sunday...

Including new quick recordings of this and "Dakota", sent to the boys as guides as this line up of the group has never played them...

Anne was out at Zumba with Lynn - followed by coffee, tea and cakes...

Later, Fang visited...

This evening, out for drinks re the end of the quarter with Kris, Gary, Bernie, James, Sandy, Andrew and Craig...

Then, to Tiger Lily to celebrate chum Janine's 50th (which isn't till mid October but she wanted to merge it with the quarter end celebrations)...

Here with one of my erstwhile longest standing colleagues, Julie...

Good to see everyone again - I don't see them much these days...

Here, Sarah, who was my final support, the birthday girl, and Gillian, mum of Luna the sometimes staying at our house cat....

As ever, Bernardo was recording proceedings, chum Christine in the background...

A pano with some weirdness...

A good time was had by all...

...and drinks, nibbles and cake were enjoyed...

Not the worse for wear tonight, I was home before 10, in time to enjoy an "Elementary" before hitting the sack...

Good times...

Highlight of the Day : A Party...
