Good morning Tuesday morning...


A tidy room is a happy room - and so the acoustics are in their bags...



...as is the main electric...


Scenes...






Looked like it might be nice...


Breakfast with the EP...


..aptly soundtracked...


Anne was off uptown, top ranking, with Lynn today, including a slap-up lunch at Bar Napoli...

I, meanwhile, worked again on the content for the "new" Crispycat site, i.e. this, adding more LPs down the right hand side...

Do you see them?

Press play!

Before I knew it, it was time to head to the football...

Three games, all lost, but very enjoyable to be back...

Most of my team were worse than I was but even just getting there for some of them is a big achievement...

Back home to find this in the letterbox...


The lack of a waybill number meant some considerable time spent on the DHL website in a "chat" with one of their people...

Determined this was the two new hard drives - which I hadn't expected until tomorrow or Thursday - and which were supposed to have been being delivered by DPD not DHL - but, you know...

Anyone's better than EVRI...

And so they will be redelivered tomorrow...

Not the best form filling in from the driver though but we got there in the end...

More content work in the afternoon, including udating the history of Capital Models, whose "Anthology" I will soon put up on the Bandcamp, and my "recommended listening" page, which is filling up nicely with my 30 LP choices for each year I've been alive...

Anne arrived home in no need for tea and so I was let loose in the kitchen...

I did not use this wee radish though...


Used the new courgetti spaghetti machine on part of the courgette in the background above, a small onion, some passata and some crème fraiche, along with a pack of ricotta and spinach pasta...



A sprinkling of parmesan and pepper and yumtastic was the outcome...


Yesterday, we watched the first three episodes of the James Corden vehicle, "Mammals" and we finished the series off tonight with the second three - nice twist at the end that I didn't see coming...

Then Australia, including three Hearts players, went 1-0 up against reigning champions France in the World Cup but eventually lost 4-1...

Oh well...

More work upstairs, while Anne painted...

Down to watch some TV while Anne's art continued but I fell asleep watching Professor Hannah Fry talking about food delivery services...

Time for bed...

A good day but disappointing to have missed the, albeit a day earlier than expected, hard drives delivery...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Footballing...
