August away...

Up early...

On Mum's 94th birthday...

Put on your party pants*...

And as of 1 September, this is back up to date (apart form the 62 "picture only" entries)...

Sorting the new Laurie Anderson download re small gaps...

Photos from phone to hard drive...

Editing yesterday's performance...

With Anne in the garden, out and down the road to collect the car and into the office to park and walk round to to Fopp for the last of the equipment to take it home...

Stopped off at the newly revamped BHF and picked up a 2CD set of Phillip Glass for £3...

Home and ripping that while trying to get the burner to work to no avail...

Looking for the Yes CD that Dr Prog bought on Tuesday - purely for the version of Gates of Delirium that was on it, led me to download the soundtrack to "Yes Symphonic" DVD - so some time spent sorting that out...

Pushed back mum's visit to this afternoon to allow Anne to do a shopping with the car...

Learning "Heart Full of Soul" and Paul's suggestion - changing the key from Dm to Am - easier to play and to sing...

Surprise Bacon Lettuce and Tomato roll for lunch...

"Brassic"...

Out to mum's for her birthday visit...

Took an hour to get there re traffic and stopping off for flowers and a card (*with the above message on the front)...

Sheila and Maisie already there...

Cake and coffees...

But the visit was spent, for the most part just arguing about the house and contents insurance and trying to find documents and discussing making a claim re the broken hearing aid from 23/8...

Not much of a birthday...

Did the shopping list for tomorrow so I'll be able to do it in the morning pre the visit in the afternoon for the family meal with me, mum, Sheila, Ali, Julie and Harris while Anne will be at Tynecastle...

Home swiftly, for a change...

Anne back into the garden...

Me busy doing nothing...

No, wait...

Rather, reading the "new" Gerhard Richter book which, along with another on the artist and Alice Cooper manager Shep Gordon's autobiography, all arrived yesterday...

Turns out I already have this particular book but the repurchase is justified by someone having chopped a picture out of my previous copy...

This, the missing item...

Best Spaghetti Bolognese in the world for tea...

While I waited on Anne's culinary expertise, I was listening to music...

No doubt this will be an LP cover at some point...

Patience is a virtue...

"Brassic" again - last one of series 1 and 1st of series 2...

Back upstairs and writing this up for a couple of the Berlin Days...

Downstairs with music and MOTD...

Bed...

Highlight of the Day : Mum reaching an amazing 94...
