Brahms but not Liszt...

Playlist
George Coleman - Live at Smalls Jazz Club
Peter Gabriel - Four Kinds of Horses (Dark-Side Mix)
Brian Eno - Rams: Original Soundtrack Album
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Brahms
Yes - Mirror to the Sky

Up early to get the podcast uploaded but I got waylaid...


The saga of the scales - batteries out and new ones ordered...


Nice outside...


But I did not venture forth - the Yes book from the other night remained in place - not read further though...


I was ripping yesterday's classical acquisitions and got caught up in the first few bars of Brahms' 1st Symphony...

Before I knew it, a new CBQ LP was taking shape, based around a short excerpt from each of his four symphonies and the rest of the morning was taken up with that...


Around 11:45, out - garden looking good...



Parked near Anne's mum's old house and walked to Tynecastle...


...for a fine performance from the JTS, coming from a goal behind to score two magnificent goals of their own and take the spoils in this end of season six pointer...




Then, a tram to Haymarket for a few drinks with Anne's old work chum, Stevie king...

Good chat and good drinks - diet Irn Brus and Cokes for me as designated driver...

A tram back along, crammed full of Beyonce fans...


A call to Wong's and an order made, car collected, food collected, food enjoyed, telly watched...

A good Saturday...

Highlight of the Day : Hearts goals...
