Such utter and complete disappointment...

June gone...

More filing awaits...

...but it can wait...

To the machine...

...and noted I already have the just released 50th Anniversary edition of King Crimson's "USA" live LP - as it's a concert released in the big box set "The Road to Red" back in 2014...

So, I was able to add it to my iTunes pre breakfast, giving that and the concert from the box from 30 June 1974 too - also, coincidentally a Sunday...

All before an egg based breakfast...

We are nearing the end of "The Gentlemen" - last night's episode left us with just two to go...

While listening to my first two CBQ LPs the other day while filing, it occurred there's a lot of music I've not considered for the upcoiming Live Suite dates at Fopp and Whitby...

So, some considerable time was spent creating a 20 minute piece based around pre CBQ selections from 1977 to 1996...

I will return to that... 

Before that last two of "The Gentlemen" tonight, an art gallery and a football match...

To visit Anne's mum around 2...

...and out for a short drive to the Gallery of Modern Art...

...for coffee and cake...

...in the garden...

...followed by...

...a look around...

The gardens were lovely...

This plant in particular being attractive to Anne - who has now ordered some seeds...

Back to the car...

...and home...

Some music work pre tonight's match...

Accompanied by loaded baked potatoes, England v Slovakia, ranked around 50 places below them (it is always the way)...

Regular readers will be aware that I loathe the England football team (whoever's in it)...

Because, however shite they are they somehow always come up smelling of English roses and, tonight, they were, indeed, shite...

Slovkia took the lead around 25 minutes in and looked to be putting England out... 

Such utter and complete disappointment then, as England, so absolutely typically, equalised with just one minute of injury time remaining...

And then, to rub salt in the gaping wound, scored a winner in the first minute of extra time...

Sickening...

Still shit yet in the Quarter Finals...

And, of course, just how shite they are was once again forgotten by the media...

So...

Do not let us down Switzerland!!!

I could not bring myself to watch Spain v Georgia (both having qualified from the same group as Scotland, Georgia having scraped through a play off with Greece to get to the finals but, really, showed Scotland what they ought to have done)...

In the end though, trounced 4-1 by a Spanish side, who, along with Germany, must be faves - only thing is, as names are not drawn from hats (as would be fair) those two will meet in the Quarter Finals...

And so that's enough football for one day...

Ended it working on acoustic demos of three Crazy Wisdom songs which Malcolm and I will, hopefully, perform at the next Out of the Bedroom...

So that cheered me up a wee bit...

Highlight of the Day : A visit to a gallery...
