Last day of March...


..and so we are already a quarter of the way through the 25th year of the century...

Happy Easter!



Sadly, I only had a picture of an Easter Egg as opposed to the real thing...

Got a little caught up in Paris and Frenchness this morning as Jane and Kitty flew there today for a few days' break and I looked back at our last trip there in 2008, prompting me to listen to a couple of records bought there and then to download a pile of stuff by Saint-Georges...

Kitty sent some pics back and Jane posted on Facebook....











Here, an Easter Ladybird was found on the dusty front window...


...and was escorted outside...


Then, round to Anne's mum's, where this, today appropriate painting hangs, by the master Dali - Anne's mum's fave painting...


Off we went to wait outside...


...for Anne's mum's lift to church...


...then the Crispycat Team made its way to the shops...


...and, post shopping, to Polworth for brunch at a place we used to frequent which has since become a branch of our all time fave brunch venue, Patisserie Florentin...


Lovely...


...as were the breakfast rolls...



...and as was the coffee...



Back home, Anne did some gardening while I worked on possible new music, using jazzy drumming, but it came to nothing...


A banana was enjoyed while I worked...


I popped into the attic to retrieve a guitar stand and added to the reasonably recent artistic creation...


...and a wee bit more...


...and found the biggest bee in Christendom, which was captured and put out into the garden (no pics)...

The squirrel was being acrobatic...


...watched by its friend, the big pigeon...


Excellent Mexican tea from Annie...


...was followed by "Astrid" and then the first two episodes of the kind of "Leverage's" spin-off, "Almost Paradise", starring the Elliot character but with a different name - it was like he was having adventures under an alias, between the end of "Leverage" and the start of "Leverage: Redemption" - same production team - two seasons to watch, so all good...

Never got round to recording the podcast but I did listen through the entire content and decided to omit quite a few items on the basis of that listen...

One for tomorrow...

Finished the day by drawing attention to my recommended listening - you can go to the relevant huge list of records by clicking on the pic below...


Lights out on March...

Highlight of the Day : Brunch with Anne and Anne's Mexican cuisine...
