Up pre 7 with the idea of collating a playlist with one track each from every Capital Models session...
But many of the early ones have been moved around on the hard drives and so need to be relocated by iTunes or re-added - project abandoned...
The new Trevor Rabin single bodes well for his due in October LP though...
My moisturising cream has finally run out...
Breakfast was, once again, Anne's tasty eggs...
I must admit that these are much tastier than mine...
This morning, the Andy Warhol poster became our new splashback...
That's much better...
...and it means, any big painting can now become the splashback, as we see fit...
Flexibility is king...
Managed to get this nonsense back up to date and, then, just after 10, off out to Loanhead to pick up my mum's specs to take to Bonnyrigg for a wee repair...
The optician, it turns out, is closed on a Monday...
Instead some pics of old haunts were taken...
This is where I used to rehearse every week, back in 1978/79, with my trio, Berlin, which was briefly Sven Diamond and then, with the addition of then best chum Dood Hamilton, my quartet, Rough Cut...
The hall is the same...
...as is the stage...
...and, from Dood's Facebook page, here is the band...
Des Gurr (aka Joe Polythene), me, Dood Hamilton and, in front, Dennis Gurr (aka Ellis Dee)...
What was I thinking re that moustache...
This beard was marginally better...
The pics were both taken in the hall...
Here are some more from the archives...
Also in the hall, 1978...
...and these from later, taken at the old church hall we rehearsed in in early 1979...
This is where I had my first ever Chinese meal, with Dood in charge of ordering....
I recall him actually licking his plate clean...
This unassuming and rather boring block of flats was once the Edinburgh Rock, a converted cinema which hosted many a top notch disco...
...and discos were enjoyed here too, at the Masonic Halls...
...next to which was a large department store, where I recall purchasing an LP of TV themes by Geoff Love and his Orchestra in early 1974 and where, I believe, around the same time, my mum bought me a copy of Mud's "Tiger Feet"...
Many's the time I've stood at this church waiting on a bus...
Behind it is George V Park...
There was once a swimming Pool here, where my class used to receive swimming lessons - I still can't swim properly...
Too much mucking about I suspect...
And this, the vista of the park where I used to spend many a lunchtime while at school nearby...
Back to the town...
...where, on having a look around I discovered a second, open, optician shop and they, very kindly, repaired my mum's glasses...
Result..
Back to Loanhead, where I showed my mum all the pics from here, back to the Chinese meal at her house a week ago yesterday...
Home for lunch with Anne and the final "The Good Cop" - a cliffhanger to which we'll never see the answer, due to its cancellation by Netflix after one 10 episode season...
Then, Anne was off taking her mum to the doc...
I spent some time listening to unplayed thus far items from my 2023 LP a Day, Track a Day playlist...
On Anne's return, a quick turnaround for her and back out to Pilates...
I looked up 10 years ago today and found that this arrived...
It accompanied a doing the dishes session and the baked potato prep and, on Anne's further return, the enjoyment of said potatoes...
Just 110 tonight on "University Challenge" - not a patch on last week's, probably a record, score of 240 for the dynamic duo...
Luck of the questions I suppose...
Some late night listening in the back room...
Two tasty EMI sampler sets from 2003 and 2004. Truly great recordings of the 20th Century…
Despite everything going on in the world, how lucky are we to be living now? Pretty, pretty lucky…
But, uh oh, when I came to write this entry, I discovered these CDs are not on my iTunes!
A veritable can of worms...
Back downstairs to finish off the day with the final episode of "Crime"...
Six weeks of, when it comes down to it, truly awful writing and acting...
Oh well...
Into the night...
Highlight of the Day : Visiting old haunts...
