Up just before 6


Easter bunny on the calendar, sort of...


Stuff awaited action...


But, just before 7, I noticed that the collaborative LP I did early last year with Blue Sun Chasing and Edward Spark, "Front Porch", had been removed from Bandcamp by BSC for no apparent reason and without any notification to Sparky or to me...

So the next 90 minutes was spent re-releasing it on Crispycat and, lo, it was good - and acts as a nice precursor to the release later this year of the CBQ version of the piece...

It's all good...


...and, once it was re-released, Mr Blue Sun Chasing left this very nice review on the page...
The skies were also good...


I'm on the search for a new power unit for the headphone mixer - initial research suggests this could be a long laborious task (and that buying one will be around half the cost of just getting a new mixer)...

Hmm...

Note fingertip damage re much recent guitaring...


Post breakfast, at 10, over to Loanhead to pick up my mum's freshly washed clothes and some biscuits to take to the hospital for today's visit...

Easter is coming...


Nothing a gran'ma likes more than an Easter Egg from her grandson (nephew Andy brought this in on Tuesday)...


Mum made the mistake of asking what I'd been up to, so I regaled her with the content of this from when I last saw her on Tuesday up to last night - then we looked at what happened 10 years ago, 15 years ago and 5 years ago...

Here she is 10 years ago today...

Again with chocolate...


Home (via dropping off more washing at Loanhead) for home made soup pre Anne heading off to Tynecasrtle with Jane for a disappointing 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock - meanwhile, in Hamilton, Queens ought to have won (per the QoS Twitter account anyway) but came a way with a 0-0 draw against No 2 in the league...

Reasonable...

Me?

I did not record the podcast - though I did compile the content...

Instead, I sang songs for 3 hours...

...which was fun...

For tea tonight, tasty Chinese fayre from Wong's - ready for collection at the promised time - so, no need for an old man to shout at some clouds...


It was accompanied by the final two episodes of "Leverage: Redemption" - and so, all over - now we wait for season 3 to appear...

Then, 1st in the new series of "Taskmaster" - always better than I think it's going to be...

Football highlights were soundtracked by today's recordings - to which I fell asleep, of course...

To bed at an unheard of 10:45...

Although the clocks might already have gone back...

Highlight of the Day : Singing songs...
