Awoke with rather a sore leg but soldiered on...


Anne has been stripping the porch in preparation for redecoration...


On Thursday, I received an order to Amazon for a CD which I didn't particularly want to sell, especially since, post all costs, I was receiving less than half of the asking price, while Amazon were getting around the same - and the second lowest price (up from mine) was around 5 times mine...

Anyway, I cancelled the order and closed the shop...

So, now I have to reintegrate the stock into the collection...


...and also looked to ensure all were ripped onto hard drives...


I resolved to play at least one track from every CD whilst doing this...


This evening, out again, to meet up with brother in law Keith, who was providing me with a free ticket for another piano recital - this time at the Usher Hall...

The view from the office this evening...


The Chinese pianist Yuja Wang was tonight's star, seen here in her yellow dress worn for her second piece, post a sparkly purple outfit for her first...


Two Ravel piano concertos with the Oslo Philharmonic - the first written for left hand only...



Then, an expanded orchestra played Shostakovich's 5th symphony...


Wonderful stuff indeed...

A walk down to Haymarket and bus to the zoo for another pick up from the EP...

As we arrived home, Fang was at the back door so came in for an hour or so...




Cheeky wee monkey...

Highlight of the Day : Piano recital...
