One again up super early...

...and listening to "GLAM! #2" which went out into the world at 8am, along with Vol 16 of this year's Eclectic Selection podcasts...

It was Record Store Day...

Of course, for people like me, every day is Record Store Day...

Out around 11:30 and dropped by Anne at Roseburn as she went to spend some time with her mum...

I wandered with my "big" headphones on...

...bumping into Paul the Keyboardist on Princes St and enjoyed a wee chat about the band etc...

Then onwards with the wandering...

Through St Andrew Square, noting this development...

Down Broughton St...

...and to Canonmills...

...to the hospice shop, where, in honour of Record Store Day, I bought this wee box of top music...

A bus up to Princes St...

...noting that the part for the printer would arrive soon...

To Roseburn, where Anne and her mum were watching Aberdeen v Celtic...

...which ended 3-3 - in the penalty shoot out, Celtic goalie Hart missed a penalty but subsequently saved one to put them through...

Hearts play Scotland's newest club tomorrow in the other semi-final...

Meanwhile, this was given a spin and found to be excellent and indeed in excellent condition...

The printer part arrived and was successfully installed...

Meanwhile, Anne was doing something she likes...

...gardening and then cooking - Keralan Chicken Curry...

..before I drove over to Winchburgh for an evening in the company of bassist Keith's band, in which he is the drummer...

Here he is singing "Brown Eyed Girl"...

Guitarist Johnny Impossible was also in attendance and we enjoyed some cat chat with Keith's partner, Elaine, who has two 14 year old Maine Coons...

18 monthiversary tomorrow...

The band were much looser than Capital Models and there wasn't too much crossover, song-choice wise...

Late on, the "Diesel" made a return - 0% Guinness and Diet Coke...

John and I left around 10:30, a couple of songs into the 2nd set...

We will be at Roslin tomorrow for 10:30 to set up - Keith will hopefully turn up and plug in his bass around 11...

He may be the worse for wear...

Home...

A "Monk" (the three pies) took us to bedtime...

Highlight of the Day : A nice box set joins the fray and Keith on the drums...
