Up at 7 to write this...


...opening the day with an old podcast and then the Bruce Barth Trio, which is very good indeed...


 ...and downloaded an LP of original stuff by Scary Pockets, just two long tracks of funk, which is also very good indeed but perhaps not as good as their cover versions...

Also researched a possible trip to Nantes later in the year - it looks good...

Breakfast was nice and will be repeated...



...and word from Mixcloud that my latest podcast, despite very few listens indeed, has somehow managed to make the Top 10 of their Global Classical Chart... 


Into town today to do some work at my old office - this soundtracked the bus in - also very good indeed...


Post work, a walk along to Fopp - nothing acquired. However, this, which features work commissioned by Sebastian Knauer of Michael Nyman, intrigued...

It's on the Berlin Modern label too, which is usually good...


Another bus home in the rain...



...soundtracked this time, by this, which is also very good...


I was trying to take intentionally blurry pics but it didn't really work...


Into my bear-like onesie and spent the remainder of the day on the sofa till bed time...


...alternating between listening and goggling the gogglebox - which included 2 of "The Black List" and the 2nd part of this week's "Silent Witness"...

In footie, at Dumfries, Queens, although, it seems, being on top throughout the game, could not score against Kelty Hearts but, despite one Harry Kane-esque ballooned over the bar penalty, thanks to two saves by the keeper, Currie, won the penalty shoot out 4-2 and, for the second year running are in the semi finals of the Challenge Cup (which is open to all Scottish teams apart from the "Premier" League)...

They will play Hamilton Academical from the Championship...

Meanwhile, tasty chili from Anne...


And that was it....

Ten days in already...


Lights out...
