Up at the "usual" time...




Working on "GLAM! III" and "GLAM! FOUR" re running orders...

Uploading to the phone for listening...

Just a coffee in the company of a squirrel...


Out around 9:30...




With stupid big headphones on, listening to my demos...



Onto a Number 1 bus...


The beast was about its business...


Listening to these...



Off at Dundee St and a walk to Polworth...



...to meet up with Dr Prog...


...for breakfast at Florentin...



As ever, the Doc found it impossible to have a coffee with a breakfast roll - he gave a wave to Anne back home...


A walk to Bruntsfield and then on to Morningside, soundtracked by good nonsense chat...

The Doc bought some stuff in Shelter...

..and, later a Keith Jarrett disc in Cancer Research, where I bought these, £2 each...



In a hospice shop, this joined the fray - an ECM sampler for £1.50..


In Oxfam, this for £2.99...


Turns out it's exactly the same recording reissued years later on Naxos, which I, of course, already have...

Hmmm...

Spotted a band to check out (turned out to be good)...

The Wilderness of Manitoba...


If I'm back that way...

In the BHF, these, £1...


...10 CDs for £2...


Castigated by the Doc for buying excerpts...

Final purchase for £1 in the last place...


Then, finally (for the Doc) coffee - which, for him, had to be accompanied by cake...




More chat - about music, concerts, 10cc, etc etc - his medal from the Inland Revenue for decades of service...

Au revoirs said and, as I stood at the bus stop waiting for a bus to Princes St, Count Brodski popped up in front of me - I'd been spotted as he drove past -  a lift all the way home was provided but, sadly, he had to head off and could not stop by...

Anne, Jane and Sheila were spending the afternoon going through mum's jewelry...


I was ripping and listening...



Later on a rainbow signaled the possibility of a pot of gold in a chimney pot...


Fish & Chips for tea...

"Fake or Fortune" - a good one...

Music listening...

To bed at midnight...

Felt like a Saturday...

It had been a Thursday...

Highlight of the Day : Out with Dr Prog...
